(3) Light: The dragonfly particularly likes light, and it must be exposed to five to six hours of light every day. But the more the better is not the case, too much will lead to excessive growth.

(4) Watering: Ensure sufficient water during the growing season. Watering is most frequent in summer, about once a week. When the weather is slightly cooler, wait until the soil is dry before watering. Stop watering in winter. It is best to use rainwater or cold boiled water.

2. Breeding method

The next day, spread them in the pot and evenly sprinkle with fine sand to cover them. Ensure that the surrounding conditions are suitable and it will germinate in about half a month.
