- Light: Like a warm, well-lit environment, long-day light can promote the differentiation of flower buds and achieve the purpose of early flowering.
- Temperature: The suitable growth temperature is about 15℃-32℃, which is more heat-resistant and resistant to short-term low temperature of 0℃.
- Moisture: Not tolerant to water and humidity. Adequate moisture is required during the growth period. High temperature and humidity should be avoided after the flower buds are formed.
- Fertilizer: Add organic fertilizer to the flower soil as base fertilizer. After 1-2 weeks of transplanting, apply Shimeile fertilizer once every half month.
- It is more heat-resistant and can be topped before flowering, making it more difficult to sow more flowering Eustoma, and requires high environmental requirements. Novices recommend buying flower seedlings with a higher survival rate.
- There are fewer diseases, and potted Eustoma is more resistant to soil bacteria.
