The leaf tip is hard, narrowly lanceolate, 10-15 cm long and 1-2 cm wide, the leaf apex has grayish brown thorns, the leaf is dark green, the leaf surface has irregular white vertical lines, the leaf margin has white drooping filaments, and occasionally sparse teeth.

Although the editor is raised in the sunshine room on the third floor, as long as the temperature is higher than 35 degrees, it will slowly lose water under the bright scattered light. During the high temperature period of the whole summer, there is little or no water supply, and when the temperature comes down in mid-September, it begins to resume watering. Bella, who adapted to the sunny room, can still grow normally in summer, and dormancy is not very obvious. In winter, if the temperature can be maintained above 0 degrees, water can be supplied, and water will be cut off below 0 degrees, otherwise it is also prone to frostbite.

Although winter is cold, it is not a winter without giving a little water, give a little water to the root of the plant at the right time, do not spray or give water, the water in the heart of the leaf stays for too long, it is easy to cause rot, and the temperature difference between the north and the south is large. Flower friends still have to breed according to their own environment. When the temperature rises in spring, the water supply can slowly return to normal. Bella is a very easy to raise tequila variety, in the four seasons except summer should pay attention to proper sunshade, other seasons can be full-day sunshine. The soil editor uses peat mixed with particles of cinder, river sand, etc., but also adds a small amount of garden soil, the soil surface is covered with granular river sand, and the soil is mainly breathable.
