Soil Selection
Moss rose has low requirements for soil and is not fussy, making it easy to grow. For growing as a household potted plant, choose ordinary potting soil, and prepare fermented bean dregs as the basic fertilizer for the soil.
Growth Habits
Moss rose originates from Brazil in South America. It likes warmth and plenty of sunlight. For sowing, choose spring or autumn when the temperature is around 18°C; when the temperature is kept at 21-24°C, it can germinate. After about a week, seedlings grow from the small sprouts, and as the temperature gradually rises, the seedlings will gradually grow larger and stronger.

Watering Methods
Moss rose likes warmth and the sun, but in the hot summer, frequently check the bottom tray of the flower pot and check the pot's breathability. Pots with good breathability should be watered every day, while those with poor breathability are generally watered every other day.
Fertilizer Supply
Moss rose is a resource-saving and eco-friendly plant and does not need excessive fertilizing; ensure fertilizing once every two weeks. When fertilizing, take about 2 grams of phosphate fertilizer and place it in a spray bottle, add a large amount of clean water to dissolve it, diluting the concentration so that it is below five per thousand; only then will it not cause seedling burn due to excessive fertilizer damage, or in severe cases cause the plant to die.
