Catharanthus roseus, also known as "daily spring," has a long blooming period. If we want it to bloom profusely, we need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Catharanthus roseus is a light-loving plant that requires warm and abundant sunlight. With sufficient sunlight, the leaves are lush and green, and the flowers bloom more.
If there is insufficient sunlight or inadequate lighting, it will lead to fewer flowers, yellowing leaves, even leaf drop, a shorter blooming period, and it will not bloom profusely.

2. The soil for Catharanthus roseus should be loose and breathable, with good drainage, and preferably leaf mold. When watering Catharanthus roseus, water only when the soil is not dry, and water thoroughly at once. However, be careful not to let water accumulate in the pot, as this can easily lead to root rot.
3. Catharanthus roseus thrives at temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, it will result in slower blooming and fewer flowers.
4. It is necessary to pinch the top of Catharanthus roseus early on to prevent the flowering branches from growing too tall. Regularly pinching and removing the top growth will help the branches distribute evenly. The branches that are pinched off can be rooted in a pot, which helps in achieving an even distribution of branches.
