How to grow cold water flowers

1. Keep the soil moist

Pilea coleus is suitable for growing in a slightly moist environment, so it is necessary to create suitable growing conditions for it, water it appropriately, and avoid the soil being too dry, but not too wet. The temperature will rise in summer, so the amount of watering can be increased appropriately. You should also spray water on the leaves appropriately to increase the humidity to a certain extent.

2. Adequate lighting

The location for maintenance must have sufficient light, but it is also very shade-tolerant, so its demand for sunlight is not high. Usually, when caring for the plant, it can grow well as long as it is not exposed to direct sunlight for a long time and is not too dark. It needs shade in the summer and needs to be grown on the south balcony in the winter with more sunlight.

3. Proper pruning

During the growth period of the plant, proper pruning is required so that it can grow better. The seedlings need to be repeatedly pinched during the seedling stage. After they grow to maturity, when repotting, keep the bottom 2-3 nodes and prune them short. When new branches grow, pinch them again, the plant will grow more compact and full.

4. Change the pot in time

Appropriate repotting is also very necessary. It is constantly growing, and timely replacement of the pot with a larger one is beneficial to its growth. The soil should be loose, deep and fertile. If you are not using a new flower pot, you must disinfect it before use.
