It likes light and can be placed in a full - light environment in winter. The suitable growth temperature is above 15°C. It is drought - tolerant but not water -logging - tolerant. Water it when the soil is dry, and it is recommended to cultivate it with a slightly acidic substrate.

Methods for Preserving and Maintaining New Year's Festival Flowers:
Pruning Skills: Cut the roots diagonally to increase the water - absorption area and make the fresh flowers recover to a plump state more quickly. For some varieties, the cross - cutting method can also be tried. After pruning, avoid the contact of flower leaves and petals with water to prevent rotting.
Water - changing Frequency: Change the water every 2 - 3 days to keep the water clean and extend the freshness period of the flowers. When changing the water, clean the vase and the roots, remove impurities and bacteria. You can use purified water or add an appropriate amount of preservatives.
Water - level Selection: The water level should be moderate, avoiding submerging the flower buds or having too low a water level. Different varieties may have different requirements for the water level, and adjustments need to be made according to the actual situation.
Ventilation Conditions: Moderate ventilation is very important for extending the flowering period. It can prevent the growth of germs and keep the freshness of the flowers. But be careful not to place the flowers in the wind outlet to avoid premature withering of the flowers.
