It is drought-resistant, enjoys sunlight, and is the most suitable variety for home gardening.
1.霸王梅 can be cultivated in greenhouses all year round, and from May to September in the Beijing area, it can also be planted outdoors or in outdoor pots. In the summer, it does not require excessive watering or excessive drought to grow normally. If used for flower production, potted plants are easier to manage and grow better when kept indoors year-round.

Soil requirements: Suitable for well-drained sandy soil, not suitable for heavy clay soil, afraid of waterlogging, and cultivation soil should be mixed with some coarse sand,炉灰 ( furnace ash) or perlite.霸王梅 is relatively drought-resistant and not strict about soil pH, growing normally in slightly acidic or slightly alkaline conditions.
3. Water requirements: Watering should be thorough. Generally, in dry and hot seasons, water once a day, and less or no watering is needed on cloudy and rainy days. In winter, water can be given once every 1-3 days on sunny mornings. When the temperature is low, it is cloudy, or the humidity in the greenhouse is too high, watering is not necessary.
4. Fertilizer requirements for 霸王梅 are not strict. In addition to adding one-third of peat or humus during the cultivation process, usually applying diammonium phosphate or other long-acting slow-release compound fertilizers once every two to three months in the pot is sufficient. According to growth, change to a larger pot every April or September, adding some new cultivation soil.
5. Propagation: March to April cutting: Generally, 5-10 cm terminal or lateral branches, removing large and small flower buds, a few flower buds appear after May, remove them promptly, insert into a shallow pot filled with coarse sand, 25-30 branches evenly inserted into a pot with a diameter of 30-40 cm, do not water for 3-5 days after inserting, and then water the leaves moderately every 4 to 5 days. After more than 10 days, water every other day, maintaining a temperature of 20°C to 30°C. In July, the surviving seedlings are transplanted into small plastic pots with a diameter of 20 cm or less. Under normal management conditions, flowers begin to appear in October. The same method is used for cutting in November.
