Fertilization: Fertilization is mostly carried out in spring and autumn, and thin fertilizer is applied frequently, and the amount is better;
Summer: When the temperature is high and the sun is strong in summer, you should move to a cool and ventilated place to avoid being exposed to the sun, which is easier to spend the summer;
Overwintering: The minimum temperature can only resist the low temperature of about 5℃, and it needs to be maintained below this temperature;
