How to grow raindrops

1. Maintenance methods

Therefore, when the temperature reaches 35 degrees, it is necessary to strengthen air convection, that is, to ventilate more. In addition, in winter, the temperature cannot be lower than fifteen degrees.

Especially in the summer when the temperature is above 35 degrees, it is necessary to provide shade, and the shading degree should be around 50%. Never let it be exposed to direct sunlight. In spring, autumn, and winter, it can receive full sunlight.

3. Watering: It requires a lot of water and it likes humidity. In spring and autumn, water can be given every two or three days. In summer, it's once a day. In addition, spraying is required when the temperature is high. In winter, you don't need to water too frequently.

The row spacing and plant spacing can be around three centimeters, and the "spot sowing" method can be adopted. After sowing, use the "pot immersion method" to replenish water, then spray in time and block out strong light.

2. Repotting: For raindrops grown in pots, it is best to change the soil once every two years. The substrate can be mixed with fertile, clay soil, such as leaf mold, river mud, and garden soil in a ratio of one to four to four.
