Soil: use soft peat soil, add some particles, the ratio of peat soil to particles is 1: 1; light: 3-4 hours of sunshine every day, and 6-8 hours of sunshine for some varieties; watering: to see dry and wet, but not to accumulate water, so as to avoid rotting roots; finally, we should do a good job in pest control.

1. Soil: it is best to use soft peat soil, but using 100% peat soil will cause too much water, or form a plate after drying, so add some particles, such as perlite, volcanic rock, honeycomb coal, ceramsite, peat, etc. The ratio of peat to particles is 1:1.

2. Lighting: there should be 3-4 hours of sunshine every day, and some varieties even have 6-8 hours of sunshine. Sufficient and moderate sunshine can make succulent plants stronger, more compact, brighter and healthier, and are not easy to infect germs and insect pests.

3. Watering: to see dry and wet, but not to accumulate water, so as to avoid rotting roots. "see dry" means that after watering once, wait until the soil surface turns white, and the surface and internal soil moisture disappears, then water the second time. You can't wait for the basin soil to dry for a long time before watering. "see wet" means that every time it is watered, it should be watered thoroughly, that is, until the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin has water seeping out, it is not possible to pour "half of the water" (that is, wet and dry).

4. Diseases and pests: the main diseases are crown rot, neck rot, fungal rot, black rot, etc., and pests are mainly red spiders, shell insects, butterflies, etc., which should be prevented and controlled in time.
