Soil

In terms of soil selection, we do not need many special requirements.

Watering

Water is particularly important in plant cultivation. The plant is relatively drought-resistant, and it is important to pay attention to the amount of water when watering. We should not water excessively and must not allow water to accumulate in the pot. We need to properly control the amount of watering. During the planting process, if we encounter consecutive rainy days, we need to place the plant in a rain sheltered area, otherwise the plant may develop root rot. Accumulated water often causes root rot, which can lead to symptoms such as curling and loss of luster in the leaves. These are all signs of root rot in the plant, and we must be very careful about this. Early intervention can save the plant and allow it to continue growing healthily.

Sunlight

Plants growing in tropical regions require plenty of sunlight. When planting, we need to place the plant in a location that can ensure five to six hours of direct sunlight, which can ensure that the plant flowers and has lush leaves. During the flowering period, we must place the plant on a balcony and ensure it gets plenty of sunlight, so that our home can be filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Even in winter, the plant still needs to ensure it gets enough sunlight to maintain normal growth.
