Ruixiang flowers like the weak light environment and are afraid of strong light, so they are usually not raised in full sunshine. In summer, they should pay attention to proper shading to avoid their sun exposure, and they can accept full sunshine before budding in spring. This can make the branches stout, flowers and colors bright, and the rest of the time can be maintained in a semi-shady environment with scattered light.

3. Watering
