The growth of baby's breath has a relatively high demand for water. After pinching, it still needs supplemental water and fertilizer supply. Under sufficient conditions, the plant will shift from the vegetative growth stage to the reproductive growth stage. Until the flowers grow out, the supply of water and fertilizer must be kept sufficient. After the petals grow out, water should be slightly reduced, to prevent the flower quality from declining due to water loss and to promote neat flowering.
The suitable temperature for baby's breath growth is 15-25°C at best. When the temperature exceeds 30°C, it is very easy to cause flower deformity. The nighttime temperature is best at 10-15°C. If it is below 10°C for a long time, plus the short daylight of autumn and winter, it is very easy to cause the plant to go dormant or become clustered.

Baby's breath likes fertilizer. Apply sufficient base fertilizer before planting, and apply regular topdressing after planting, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, then gradually increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Fertilization should correspond with watering; if water and fertilizer are not controlled properly, it is very easy to cause the plant to grow leggy. When the plant grows to 30 cm, water must be controlled, especially paying more attention during the bud stage, and it should also be drier during the flowering period.
Baby's breath likes to grow in a warm environment with sufficient sunlight, but overly strong sunlight and excessively high temperatures are also not suitable for the growth of baby's breath, so sunlight should not be too strong; in summer when the temperature is too high, the potted baby's breath should be placed in a place where sunlight is not too strong, and attention should always be paid to watering to keep the soil moist.
