Flowering plants should be repotted and replaced with soil once a year, and the time should be before germination in early spring. When repotting, use scissors to cut off dense and senescent branches.
Water should be watered once a day in spring and autumn, and once a day in the morning and evening in summer. In winter, the temperature is low and the plants are in a dormant state. Watering should be controlled to keep the pot soil in a moist state.
