It is relatively cold-resistant, afraid of waterlogging, drought-resistant, and tolerant of strong light. It is suitable for fertile, loose, and well-drained sandy loam soil. The optimal growth temperature is 13-18°C, and the winter temperature should not be lower than 5°C.[ Propagation methods ]Propagation is commonly done through seeding, cutting, and dividing plants.Seeding: carried out from February to May, using indoor pot sowing, the optimal germination temperature is 18-21°C, and germination occurs 12-15 days after sowing.Cutting: can be done throughout the year, easily surviving, with spring and autumn being the best time. Cut compact short branches with terminal leaves, 5-7 cm long, and insert them into a sandy bed. Keep the cutting soil slightly moist, and roots form 10-12 days after insertion. Single-leaf cutting can also be used, placing mature and full-fleshed leaves on the sandy bed, spraying water several times, and after a few weeks, roots form at the base of the leaves and young seedlings grow.[ Cultivation management ]When repotting in spring, add a mixture of fertile garden soil and coarse sand, along with a small amount of decomposed leaf soil and bone meal. Also, trim the stems and leaves appropriately. Do not water excessively after repotting, fertilize once a month during the growing season, but control the amount, as excessive nitrogen fertilizer can cause internodes to elongate, leaves to become sparse, and the plant to have an unattractive posture. In summer, with high temperatures and strong sunlight, provide appropriate shading.
