Cape primrose does not require much light, prefers a semi-shaded growing environment, and avoids strong direct light, but needs moderate exposure to sunlight. Bright scattered light is the best choice. The temperature should be kept within an appropriate range, between 16℃ and 25℃. If the temperature is high in summer, the Cape primrose can be placed in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. When the temperature is low in winter, it can be placed indoors for maintenance.
