Cultivation methods and precautions of Pink Lady

The temperature in winter is relatively low, and the plants are not resistant to low temperatures. If the temperature is below five degrees, they will be frostbitten. It is more reasonable to control the temperature above ten degrees to survive the winter.

It does not need too much water during the non-growing period, and watering it once every two or three days is enough. It needs to be watered once before wintering, so that it can survive the winter smoothly.

It is best to use special fertilizers for succulents or compound fertilizers. These two types of fertilizers have more comprehensive nutrients and are more suitable for Red Pink Lady.
