1. Temperature: it likes cold and cool climate. If the temperature exceeds 30 ℃, the plant will stop growing and flowering, so it seldom blooms in midsummer. When the temperature drops, it will blossom again. The most suitable temperature for its development is between 15 ℃ and 20 ℃, so if you want to cultivate it, you'd better plant it in winter.

2. Watering: the time of water supply is not fixed. It is necessary to decide whether water is needed according to the degree of soil drying. Generally, water once or twice a week. Observe the state of soil first for each water supply. If the soil is completely dry, it means that water is needed.

1. Propagation: it can be propagated by sowing. The sowing time should be in autumn and winter. Because of its low temperature tolerance, the temperature in autumn and winter is more conducive to its growth.

2. Transplanting: about one month after sowing, transplanting can be done. The bottom of the flowerpot needs to put about three centimeters of small stones as the drainage layer, and then mix bone powder in the soil to increase the soil nutrition and ensure the nutrient demand of the plant. After the preparatory work is done, transplanting can be done

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Catarrh: if the plant has catarrh, it is necessary to reduce the humidity during ventilation and spray it with fungicide regularly.

2. Insect pest: it is easy to infect insect pests. Even if the plant has not been infested, it is necessary to spray chlorothalonil regularly to increase the resistance. If the plant has been infested with insect pests, it is necessary to use insecticide for disinfestation. It should be noted that if the insecticide is dichlorvos, it must be diluted before it can be used. The dilution ratio is 1:1000.

4. Other issues

1. Can it be cultured indoors? It can be cultured indoors. Its growth habits, such as low plant body and a little shade tolerance, meet the requirements of family culture, so it can be cultured indoors.
