Yulu likes light, but it must not be exposed to direct blazing sun; you can give it diffused light.

You can place it in a ventilated, dry place for cultivation.

Watering

When watering Yulu, you must grasp the principle of not watering until dry, and water thoroughly when you do. Avoid water accumulation again, and do not let it be exposed to rain.
