How to keep Sophora Cassioides.
Light
Pelu is native to open areas like sunlit grasslands and the boundaries of forests where there is a lot of light. It prospers in places with direct sunlight but can also withstand areas with partial sunlight, demonstrating its ability to adjust to different amounts of sunlight.
Temperature
Pelu is highly adaptable to different weather conditions, from hot summers to cold winters. Nevertheless, there is a preferred temperature range for its growth. If temperatures get too high, the plant is at risk of suffering from heat and humidity-related stress, which could lead to its death. In areas where the temperatures reach the bottom of its cold resistance range, it's critical to take insulating steps to safeguard the plant.
Fertilizer
The scheduling is vital for fertilizing pelu. Apply the fertilizer in the beginning of spring and keep doing it monthly until the start of summer. This aids in generating beautiful blossoms and offers sustenance during periods of dormancy and active growth.
