Eight: Keep the air humidity Bergamot likes a humid environment, so we can promote plant growth by increasing indoor air humidity. We can use humidifiers, sprayers, etc. to adjust humidity, or add pebbles, plant ash, etc. to the basin floor for moisturizing.
Nine: Pay attention to temperature changes Potted bergamot is sensitive to temperature changes. Pay attention to ventilation and cooling during high temperatures in summer, and avoid direct sunlight in winter to avoid burns on the leaves. In addition, we should also pay attention to the temperature adjustment of indoor air conditioners to avoid sudden temperature changes in the bergamot.
