Key points of environmental control Temperature and light management Snow white light is a typical thermophilic plant, and it is ideal to maintain the suitable growth temperature of 15-28℃. Special attention should be paid to cold prevention in winter. When the temperature is lower than 5 ° C, it is recommended to move indoors and take insulation measures. Full sunshine can be accepted in spring and autumn. In summer, a sunshade net needs to be used to filter 30% of the light to avoid the strong light at noon from burning the skin. The scientific watering plan follows the principle of "dry thoroughly and irrigate thoroughly". Water is watered every 15 days in the spring and autumn growing seasons, and the high temperature hibernation period in summer is extended to 25 days. Using the dipping basin method to replenish water can avoid water accumulation in the leaf core. In winter, if the room temperature is lower than 10℃, the water should be completely cut off. Observation of micro-wrinkles in plant epidermis is a signal for water shortage. 2. Breeding and cultivation technology Dividing breeding steps Bai Xueguang breeding method
