II. How to grow Banksia rose
1. Sunlight
Banksia rose likes to grow in places with sufficient and soft light. So normally it should be kept in a place with moderate light intensity; if the light intensity is too strong, provide shade for it.
2. Temperature
Normally the temperature around it should be kept at around 20°C, which is better for its growth. Banksia rose has a certain cold resistance, so in winter it can be moved indoors later.

If Banksia rose lacks water, its growth rate will slow down; if the leaves lack water, the undesirable phenomenon of yellowing will appear. In winter, watering should be reduced to prevent water from freezing in the soil and causing cold damage.

The root of Banksia rose can be used as traditional Chinese medicine; it tastes bitter and can be combined with bitter orange, Sichuan chinaberry, corydalis, etc., to regulate qi and soothe the liver, and to strengthen the spleen and relieve stagnation.
