② Sunlight: Most flowering plants cannot do without sunlight, and some even have a high demand for sunlight. This flower needs enough sunlight during its flowering period;

③ Water: When the environment before and after the flowering period is relatively dry, you can water 2 to 3 times a day, which can ensure better flowering.
