Wenshulan is happy and warm, the air is fresh and moist, the hot sun is avoided in high temperature, and sufficient light is required in medium and low temperature. The suitable temperature for growth is 18 ℃ to 22 ℃, and the overwintering room temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃. Pot culture is suitable for sandy soil with high humus content, loose and fertile soil and strong permeability.
