1. Light: morning glory likes light, so it must be planted to the sunny place to make it fully exposed to light. If it is a potted plant, you need to put it on the balcony for cultivation, and turn the pot regularly to make it receive light evenly.
2. Soil: morning glory has low requirements for soil and strong adaptability. It is usually prepared with rotten leaf soil, garden soil and river sand. The three are mixed in the proportion of 4:5:1, and an appropriate amount of bone powder is added as the base fertilizer.
3. Watering: morning glory likes to be wet, so it must be watered often. Especially in summer, high temperature leads to rapid water loss. Water every day to keep the soil moist. In addition, the amount of water should be controlled every time, and there should be no ponding in the basin.

Spraying potassium dihydrogen phosphate during plant bud pregnancy has the effect of promoting flowers, which can make the flowers big and colorful.
