Ensure lighting for over 8 hours a day. Maintain the temperature between 18-25 degrees.
3. Tall varieties are sown in summer because the temperature is high, and they are more heat-tolerant. They require a lot of water, watering 1-2 times a day. Maintain lighting for over 8 hours a day, avoiding direct sunlight. Place in a shady position to grow, with a temperature of 20-25 degrees.
