Under the condition that the light is not too strong in spring and early summer, the flowerpot can be placed in a place with sufficient light to receive sufficient light, but in the hot season of midsummer and early autumn, it is appropriate to put it in a shaded place to avoid strong light, otherwise, the branches and leaves will be burned.
