1. Water:
Dishao Gua is mainly distributed in many provinces in northern China, where there is relatively less water. It can grow in relatively water-scarce environments, indicating that Dishao Gua has strong drought tolerance. Therefore, except for needing some water during the vigorous growth period, water does not need to be overly considered during other times.
2. Sunlight:
We all know that the northwest region of China has less rainfall, so the duration of sunlight is relatively long, which can provide sufficient sunlight for plants. Therefore, what we need to do is not to shade the plants too much and allow Dishao Gua to enjoy the sunlight better.

3. Soil:
The soil suitable for Dishao Gua is mainly sandy or gravelly soil. It mainly grows in dry valleys, sand dunes, and other places, because the soil in these places is often sandy or gravelly.
4. Temperature:
This factor mainly applies to the propagation period. Dishao Gua is generally propagated by cuttings, which have certain temperature requirements. It is best to maintain a temperature around 25°C, which is beneficial for its survival.
5. Fertilizer:
This factor also applies to the propagation period. During this time, applying some organic fertilizer appropriately can help the young plants to survive better.
