Aptenia cordifolia. Aptenia cordifolia is a light-loving plant; as long as it gets plenty of light, it will bloom abundantly. When caring for it, place it in full light, and provide appropriate shade in the hot summer. During its growing period, Aptenia cordifolia needs a large amount of water; water when the soil is dry and let it dry out between waterings, and there must be no standing water in the pot. For fertilizing, remember to apply light fertilizer frequently, and do not apply concentrated fertilizer.

Cuban oregano. Cuban oregano is very easy to grow, and just one pot of it will give off a fragrance. Spring, summer and autumn are all suitable for keeping it outdoors, and it can survive as long as there is soil. When watering, remember to water when the soil is dry and let it dry out between waterings; there must be no standing water, as standing water will cause root rot. In winter, control watering and prune old leaves appropriately, otherwise it will affect the growth of new shoots.

Nasturtium. Nasturtium likes a warm and humid environment and grows best at 18 to 24 degrees. It must not be exposed to strong sun in summer, so provide appropriate shade. Nasturtium can be given phosphorus and potassium fertilizer frequently; using fermented rice-washing water once a month is even better. In summer, water once a day; in spring and autumn, water once every two or three days. When the weather is dry, you can spray a mist of water around the leaves to maintain air humidity.
