There are two environments for cultivating silver flowers: indoors and outdoors. In winter, the flowers are usually placed indoors. If they are grown outdoors, it is best to plant them in the mud. The planting site should be spacious, well-ventilated, and shaded. Avoid exposing flowers to direct sunlight or sunset.

The horse silver flower likes loose soil, good drainage, breathable and acidic soil containing humus. The pH value is generally best between 5.0 and 6.0. Remember not to use alkaline soil and clay, as it will be difficult for plants to survive using these soils.

It is more suitable to water the horse honeysuckle with rainwater, pond water or river water, but if it is not available, it is best to leave the tap water for a day or two before using it. Before use, you need to add 0.2% ferrous sulfate, and basically water it once every 7 to 10 days. Water frequently during flowering. It is best to water at noon on a sunny day.

After the flowering of the horse honeysuckle, it is usually sufficient to cut off the branches and leaves that are too long or diseased and damaged.
