Choose the Appropriate Growing EnvironmentMengchun multicellular prefers a warm, dry, and well-ventilated environment. During cultivation, choose a place with plenty of sunshine and good ventilation, and avoid placing it in dark and humid conditions to prevent poor plant growth.
Soil Selection and PreparationMengchun multicellular is not picky about soil, but it is best to use sandy soil with good breathability and drainage. You can mix materials such as peat soil, vermiculite, and perlite in certain proportions. The specific ratio can refer to: peat soil 50%, vermiculite 20%, perlite 20%, coarse sand 10%.
Watering MethodMengchun multicellular is drought-resistant, and watering should not be excessive. Generally, follow the principle of "better dry than wet". Watering should be done on sunny days, avoiding rainy days or early mornings. When watering, make sure to water thoroughly to allow the soil to fully absorb the water.
