The leaves of Zi Chi Bai Lian are spoon-shaped, and the overlapping leaves look like the shape of a lotus, so it is called Zi Chi Bai Lian. The side branches of Zi Chi Bai Lian grow out from the side of the mother branch, and the newly grown side branches look like a ruyi, with slender stems and relatively small leaves.

In winter Zi Chi Bai Lian usually needs to be placed indoors, and after it blooms flowers in spring it will not die; when there is a large temperature difference between day and night, the leaves of Zi Chi Bai Lian will relatively turn red; in sunlight, the leaf tips of Zi Chi Bai Lian will turn pink.

Zi Chi Bai Lian is different from Zi Chi Lian Hua in that it is a plant that goes dormant in summer, but growers generally cannot tell whether the plant is dormant, because the dormancy of the plant is not obvious. In summer, everyone should pay attention to providing a ventilated environment for the plant. Zi Chi Bai Lian likes light, and when the plant absorbs too little light, the leaf color is lighter and the leaves are thinner. Only under sufficient sunlight does Zi Chi Bai Lian grow as full as a lotus. And when the temperature difference is large, the color blush of the plant's leaves will gradually deepen, and the plant will become more and more beautiful.

Zi Chi Lian Hua is also a plant that likes light, and can endure relatively low temperatures and humid environments. The temperature of the growing environment should not be too high, and when the air temperature exceeds thirty degrees, the plant enters the dormant stage. Zi Chi Lian Hua is easy to grow, growing rapidly in spring, summer and autumn, but only in the dormant state of the plant does it have the best ornamental value.
