During the growing period, compound or organic fertilizer can be applied every two weeks to provide it with consistent nutrients**.
IIIWatering & Drainage
The stars prefer a moist environment, but be careful not to overdo it when watering to avoid root rot. Every time you water, make sure the soil is well moistened and pay attention to whether the drainage holes are clear. In the rainy season, it is necessary to pay attention to timely drainage to prevent the plants from being soaked in water for a long time.
