II. Spring grass care guide for all seasons
1. Appropriate lighting
Spring grass needs shade when the temperature exceeds 33 degrees in the summer, but if the temperature is below 27 degrees, it can have ample sunlight, preferably full-day sun exposure. Treat it like a succulent, and it can grow in the best condition, with leaves in a curly state, and even the leaves can be grown like a spring.
Adequate sunlight not only makes its leaves look better but also helps the bulb grow better, making the plant more robust, which is beneficial for its later growth.
With more sunlight, it can only bloom beautiful flowers after the spring warms up. If there is not enough sunlight, not only will the leaves look bad, but even if it flowers, the flowers will not have much fragrance.
