The fruit is flat and not strong. Origin: The South-West region of South Africa was originally introduced to China in the beginning of this century. Many plants were cultivated in South China and southwest regions, and multiple rows of potted plants were planted in the Yangtze River basin and its areas to the north. Habits: Hi warm, moist and plenty of sunshine. Not cold, not overcast. The optimum temperature for growth is 20-24 degrees from April to October and 12-16 degrees from October to April. The winter temperature must not be lower than 8 degrees. Strong germination. Lax soil choice, like good sandy loam soil. Never pour water.

After mid-April of the next year, it is put in a sunny place and maintained in a sunny place. In the middle of the summer, sufficient water is poured to prevent wilting. use: Flower contains apigenin, β-sitosterol, water decoction has a contraction effect on vascular smooth muscle, anti-thrombosis, can increase the contractile activity of the uterus has been pregnant, and the antibacterial effect of rod disease and Salmonella typhi. It is a good shading material, suitable for scaffolding and flowering. Can also climb rockery, stone walls, wall hangings and dead wood. The Greenhouse Film Electric Roll-Up Unit replacing traditional manual roll-up unit to reach high speed automation in revolving & releasing films and greenhouse environment, it is the new generation of greenhouse ventilation and temperature regulation facilities. Portability, output torque, output lock, wide range and precise adjustment, waterproof, dew-proof and power-saving are the key characteristics for Electric Roll-Up Unit, which is the best choice for modern daylight greenhouse applied in different climates.
