Illumination

Jasper lotus originally grew in a hot and humid environment, which is suitable for growing in a warm environment. Introduced and planted in the south of China. This kind of meat is shade resistant, and there can be less light. However, long-term exposure to an environment lacking light will deform the plant and affect viewing. In summer, they should be placed in a cool place indoors. After winter, they should be placed in a place with better sunshine, such as the balcony or the windowsill of the house

Temperature

The suitable growth temperature of Jasper lotus is between 10-25 ℃. Below 10 degrees can freeze to death

Watering

Spring and Autumn

This is a time when the plant grows rapidly. At this time, it needs a lot of watering, and it should be planted with larger vessels to avoid the situation that the size of flower organs does not adapt to the size of the plant. Avoid watering in rainy weather

Summer

Summer is a difficult season for Jasper lotus. Jasper lotus is not resistant to high temperature. In summer, it is prone to water shortage and wrinkled leaves, or even falling in serious cases. Therefore, the amount of watering should be controlled. Jasper lotus will go into dormancy in summer, so the main work in summer is to ensure the survival of Jasper lotus. In muggy weather, you can sprinkle water on the leaves with a shower

Winter

In winter, the temperature is low, and the growth and respiration of Jasper lotus are very slow. Watering should be reduced appropriately

Fertilization

When irrigated with clean water or diluted fertilizer solution, raw and concentrated fertilizer cannot be applied. Jasper lotus is not resistant to raw and concentrated fertilizer, which is easy to cause fertilizer damage. You can also use a small pot of fertilizer liquid to spray fertilizer on the leaf surface. Topdressing should be carried out every half a month during the growth period

Soil

Similar to general succulent plants, the soil is required to be soft and breathable. The soil can be mixed with rotten leaf soil, peat soil and sand, and add appropriate fertilizer. Some perlite and peat soil can also be mixed as cultivation soil

Pruning

The newly grown Jasper seedlings are picked when they are up to 10 cm high, which can ensure better plant growth. When pruning, look at the overall growth of the plant and appropriately cut off the long branches
