1、 Soil

Mallow has high requirements for soil quality. It is best to choose the soil with good permeability, rich nutrition and acid. Nutrient soil or rotten leaf soil can be used, and sand should be added to increase air permeability, as well as some base fertilizers

2、 Temperature

Mallow likes temperature, so it's best to raise it between 18 and 25 degrees. It has a certain cold resistance, but it is not particularly good. In winter, it should be kept at about three to five degrees, which can not be lower, otherwise it is easy to be damaged by freezing

3、 Illumination

Plants like light and need to be provided with good light during growth to meet its growth requirements. However, in summer, it is necessary to properly block out the light that is too strong. In winter, it should also be placed in bright places, such as windows and so on

4、 Watering

Its demand for water is not too much. Ponding will cause its roots to rot and keep the soil from being too dry. The principle of "better dry than wet" shall be followed for watering at ordinary times, and the amount of watering in winter shall not be too much

5、 Fertilization

Its demand for fertilizer is still relatively large. Compound fertilizer is needed in the growth period to provide sufficient nutrients. Fertilizer is also needed at the flowering stage, and the type is mainly phosphate fertilizer

6、 Precautions

The growth of mallow is vigorous. If it is not trimmed for a long time, its branches will grow very disorderly and affect the light transmittance. It should be noted that it is necessary to trim regularly, cut off part of the branches that are too dense, and cut off the sick and dry branches in time
