How to raise Shitong

How to raise Shitong

1. Adequate light

It prefers sunlight, and its flowers will bloom brightly, so sufficient sunlight is a necessary condition and it can be placed where the light can reach. Because the sun is very strong in summer, proper shade is necessary to avoid direct exposure to strong light, which will have an adverse effect on plant growth.

2. Proper watering

It is drought-resistant, so you don't need to apply too much water. Just add an appropriate amount according to its growth. It must not be excessive, as water accumulation will be detrimental to its growth. There are no strict requirements for water quality, as long as it does not contain too much salt. Ordinary well water, rainwater, or tap water that has been left standing for two days will do. The water temperature should be kept moderate and comparable to the air temperature, not too low.

3. Moderate temperature

The temperature range for its growth is 20-30 degrees, and it will grow when the temperature is around 10 degrees. The temperature should not exceed 35 degrees in hot summer and should not be lower than 5 degrees in cold winter. Move it indoors for maintenance in time. It will enter a dormant state in overly hot and cold weather.
