Longevity flowers can be raised in loose, breathable, well-drained fertile soil, the soil can be used 4 parts of humus, 4 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of river sand, plus a small amount of bone meal mixed preparation, conducive to root development.

The suitable temperature for the growth of longevity flowers is 20-25, and more than 32 in summer need to be ventilated and cooled, and in winter they should be moved into a warm room to keep warm and overwinter.
