1. The temperature is suitable

It is very shady, and likes to be warm and afraid of cold, so when raising it, it is most appropriate to control the temperature between 19 and 25 degrees Celsius, not below 13 degrees or higher than 32 degrees. If it is too cold in winter, you can move it back to the house, or cover it with plastic bags to prevent frostbite.

It likes wet places and is afraid of drought. in spring and summer, it can be watered once a day or two to keep the basin soil moist but without stagnant water. Then, when it blossoms, it should be watered less. when the temperature is high in summer, you need to spray some water on its leaves every morning, and then in autumn and winter, you can properly adjust the watering times, about once a week. But watering time can not be chosen in the evening, because the night temperature is too low, it will freeze.
