The soil should be loose and breathable, such as rice soil and pond mud, which can be matched with vermiculite and river sand.

2. Upper pot colonization

3. Suitable temperature, temperature and light

Evening primrose is cold-resistant but not resistant to high temperature, and the suitable growth temperature is 18-25 degrees. Try to keep it in this temperature range, summer should pay attention to appropriate shading, so as to avoid excessive temperature, low temperature in winter, need appropriate heat preservation, so as to avoid frostbite. If you want its bright flowers to bloom, you need to ensure that they are enough. Spring, autumn and winter can be managed directly in the sun. Because of high temperature and strong light in summer, they need proper shade or semi-shaded environment.

If Evening Primrose is transplanted from other places, a coring should be carried out after planting slow seedlings to promote its branches and plants to dwarf and increase the number of flowers. Fertilization should be stopped before the evening primrose overwintering, because the evening primrose will enter the dormancy period in the low temperature season, and the root activity will basically stop, when fertilization will cause fertilizer damage.
