3. Temperature

It is relatively cold-resistant, and the temperature in summer, spring and autumn is best kept at 15-22℃. Appropriate cooling is also needed during high temperatures in summer. If it is cultivated outdoors, a shade net can be used to provide shade and cooling. In winter, just keep the temperature around 8℃.

4. Watering

In summer, you can water it once in the morning and evening every day, in spring and autumn, you can water it once every 2-3 days, in winter, you can water it once every 4-6 days, and you can reduce the amount of watering appropriately.

After the seedlings have grown, apply fertilizer once every 10 days, for a total of 3 times. Urea can be used as top dressing.
