Pauline lantern is a wild peony plant, native to Malaysia, the Philippines, the Netherlands and other places, the flowering period is up to eight or nine months, the natural flowering period is between spring and summer between February and August.
Baolian lamp likes a warm and humid environment, high requirements for air humidity, sunshine resistant, avoid exposure to the sun, not hardy, not drought resistant.

1, soil: tropical plants because the native land is a rain forest, the leaves are very many, the organic matter content is high, so they generally like weak acidic humus, loose, breathable, nutrients. The same goes for Pauline lamps.
If you have a mountain near your home, you can often go to the mountain woods to dig up some saprophyll soil, pine needle soil, etc., if not, you need to buy saprophyll soil or peat soil, and add some vermiculite particles to prevent rotten roots.
2, watering: the peak season, that is, spring and summer, the potting soil should be kept in a state that is not dry and not wet, the fingers inserted into the soil, can feel the moisture, but will not be sticky and wet feeling is the best.
That in terms of watering, it is required to see dry and wet, two centimeters below the soil surface, you can water, once watered; you can not wait until it is completely dry and then watered, that is not good for the root system.
In the autumn and winter, the growth rate becomes slower, the potting soil should not be too wet, it is better to keep it dry, and the watering is smaller than the frequency of summer.

If it is raised for more than a year, The Pauline lamp can grow stably, then you can apply a thin compound fertilizer liquid in April to October, use it once every 10 days, and the fertilizer liquid is not thick.
5, pruning: their own cuttings of small seedlings, after growing a few new leaves, need to pick the top, and the grass flower hearting method is similar; late autumn and early winter is the flower bud differentiation period, this time, you need to beat off the leaf buds near the flower buds, save nutrients, so that the flower buds can fully develop.
