1. Watering properly
The growing season of Jell-O girl's heart is in spring and autumn, when the temperature is suitable and the sunlight is gentle, which greatly helps the rapid growth of Jell-O girl's heart. Therefore, during spring and autumn, water Jell-O girl's heart a bit more, as sufficient water is essential for its rapid growth. However, before watering Jell-O girl's heart, correctly judge whether the potting soil is completely dry. When the potting soil is dry, water it in time.
Never water frequently, causing the potting soil to accumulate water. The roots of Jell-O girl's heart, which are long-term in a damp potting soil, are prone to rot. In the hot summer, control the water, keeping the potting soil slightly dry. Even if the potting soil is dry, water it in the evening, with a small amount of water. In summer, use the misting method more often.
2. Sufficient sunlight
Sunlight is indispensable for any succulent plant, and the same goes for Jell-O girl's heart. Jell-O girl's heart is a succulent variety that loves sunlight. In daily maintenance, try to place it in a well-lit area. Especially in spring and autumn, as these seasons are the peak growing periods for Jell-O girl's heart, sufficient sunlight can promote its healthy growth and make its color more vibrant. Try to maintain more than 5 hours of sunlight per day, and it's even better if it can be exposed to sunlight all day. Even in the cold winter, ensure sufficient sunlight while keeping warm. However, in the hot summer, like now, outdoor light is too strong, so you need to use a shade net to avoid sunburn on the leaves. When the environmental temperature is above 28°C, block the strong light.

3. Explosive pot growth
Jell-O girl's heart easily produces lateral buds, especially in spring when sunlight is abundant. Many small lateral buds tend to grow at the base of the plant. As long as these small lateral buds are cultivated to grow larger, Jell-O girl's heart will grow into an explosive pot state. What we need to do is ensure sufficient sunlight and nutrients, and then wait patiently. Also, you can use the topping method to make Jell-O girl's heart quickly produce lateral buds.
Because after topping Jell-O girl's heart, the plant will not continue to grow tall, and with sufficient nutrients, it will produce many lateral buds. However, to achieve a good explosive pot state for Jell-O girl's heart, regular pruning is necessary, or else the stems of different lengths will look messy.
4. Cultivating old stems
Jell-O girl's heart has leaves that grow upwards and a rapid growth rate, so it's inevitable that the base of the stem will not have loose leaves. Just remove the bottom leaves, and after a period of care, the stem of Jell-O girl's heart will gradually lignify under the nourishment of sunlight, forming an old stem state. It is worth noting that the old stem of Jell-O girl's heart has a very elegant气质. Removing the bottom leaves can also effectively promote new tender buds.
If you want Jell-O girl's heart to become a hanging old stem, first allow the stem to elongate. When the stem reaches a certain length, provide sufficient sunlight and then use external force to make the stem grow upwards. After a few months of such care, Jell-O girl's heart will become a hanging state.
