Dolphin flowers are afraid of waterlogging in the choice of soil must not choose clayey soil, to choose good permeability, good drainage soil, such as peat 3 in 1, or with general culture soil mixed with sand, can also increase its air permeability.

It has been introduced before that dolphin flowers need a certain amount of sunshine, but excessive exposure will cause the leaves to turn yellow and curl, and in severe cases, the leaf edges will scorch. The best way is to put it indoors and let the sun shine through the curtains or plant leaves. Spring and autumn are the main flowering and growing periods, when the sun is softer and can shine directly on the plants. Proper light is beneficial to the compactness of the plant, so that the effect after flowering will be better.
