Fertilization was carried out in spring and autumn and after flowering, and liquid fertilizer was applied once every 15-20 days. Add 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1-2 times after flower bud formation; pick the heart during the peak growing season, and cut off the residual flowers after the flower fade.
