A, soil
Mallow on the soil quality requirements are relatively high, it is best to use a breathable, nutritious and acidic soil. Available nutrient soil or leafy soil, but also mixed with sand to increase permeability, as well as some basic fertilizer and so on.
Temperature
Mallow likes temperature, so it is best to raise between eighteen and twenty-five degrees. It has some cold hardiness, but not particularly good. Winter needs to be kept at about three to five degrees, not lower, otherwise it is easy to suffer frost damage.
Three, light
The plant likes light, and it needs to be provided with good light during the growth period in order to meet its growth requirements. But the summer need to be appropriate shade, will be too strong light shade out, winter should also be placed in the light of the bright place, such as the window and other places.
Four, watering
It is not too much water demand, water will lead to its root rot, keep the soil is not too dry on the line. Usually watering follow the principle of "rather dry than wet", the amount of watering in winter can not be too much.
Fifth, fertilization
It is also more demand for fertilizer, in the growth period need to use compound fertilizer, to provide sufficient nutrients. To the flowering period also need to use fertilizer, the type is mainly phosphorus fertilizer.
Six, notes
Mallow's growth is more vigorous, if not pruned for a long time its branches will grow very messy, affecting light penetration. Be careful, need regular pruning, will be too dense branches cut off part of the sick as well as dry branches also cut off in time.
