Care points: It needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day, and the soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged. Later, when it grows bigger, remember to move it to a larger pot, otherwise it will be squeezed at the roots and flowering will be affected. For fertilizing, apply a diluted liquid fertilizer once a week (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium ratio 1:2:2).

Care points: It is drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant, and tolerant of poor soil. In four-season care, fertilize and repot in spring, and place it in a sunny spot more often. In summer, provide appropriate shade when receiving light, and mist in the morning and evening to cool it down. Autumn is the time to apply additional phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which helps promote flowering. In winter, when it is cold and below 10 degrees, keep it indoors, and reduce watering in daily care.

Care points: Make sure it gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight every day; a spot near a south-facing window can be considered. For soil, you can add some decomposed compost or perlite to garden soil to improve soil quality. When repotting later, you can follow the guideline of 5 to 7 plants in a 15 cm diameter flower pot. This not only makes a full flower ball, but also keeps the plants close together so waterlogging is less likely.
