The soil should be loose and breathable, such as paddy soil and pond mud, which can be matched with vermiculite and river sand.

2. Planting in the upper pot

Evening primrose seedlings will be planted in the soil, soil compaction after appropriate watering, and then appetite cool place cultivation for a week, seedlings after the long leaves increase light.

3, suitable temperature and light

Evening primrose cold but not high temperature, suitable for growth temperature of 18-25 degrees.
