Daily water supply can wait until the basin soil dries, and water supply is regular during the growth period. The climate in summer is hot and the evaporation is vigorous. It needs to be watered more properly, and in winter, it needs to be watered less.

3. Fertilization

Fertilization is also very important. Thin fertilizer should be applied every 15-20 days to ensure good growth.

When applying fertilizer, we must pay attention to that we must not give too much fertilizer or apply concentrated fertilizer.
