3. Turn the basin

In order to grow better, the basin should be turned once every spring, and the fertile and well-drained soil should be prepared before turning the basin, and the matrix can be made of rotten leaf soil, garden soil or coarse sand, and many plants can be separated every year when turning the pot. it is also necessary to ensure the wettability of the basin soil.
