How to cultivate Longchangsu

1. Soil

Loose, well-drained soil should be used for growing Longchangsu. If the soil has poor drainage, its roots will not be able to breathe properly, causing rot.

2. Water

Water it more often during its growth period, but water it less after it enters its dormant period. The potting soil should not be kept moist for a long time, as this may cause root rot. In hot weather or when the temperature is too low, control the amount of watering or stop watering altogether.

3. Lighting

Longchangsu is a shade-loving plant and is best grown in a semi-shady environment. If the light is too strong, it will affect its growth. If the light is too weak, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds. When buds appear, you can increase the light appropriately.

4. Temperature

It is best to provide it with a growing environment of 20-25℃ during the day, and the night temperature should be controlled at 15-20℃. It is best to keep the temperature at around 5℃ in winter. If it is below 0℃, it will be frozen. The maximum temperature in summer should not exceed 35℃, otherwise it will stop growing.
