During the peak flowering period of Calceolaria, watering needs to be strictly controlled, because Calceolaria is actually quite sensitive to water. The soil in the pot needs to be kept moist during the cultivation period, but it does not need to be too moist. When watering, do not sprinkle water on the leaves. When the catkins grow branches, you need to keep the soil in the pot dry, but be careful not to dehydrate it.

The temperature generally needs to be maintained at 8℃-10℃. Artificial pollination during the peak flowering period of Calceolaria can increase the fruit set rate.

Calceolaria is a light-loving plant. It prefers long days and is sensitive to light.
