Sow a year 1 out of 2 ~ 3 two years later, if have to a lot of spread after peeling separately in the coming year will be fewer in number into 1 1, at this time of the plant can points strains, separate a clump of a cluster of small spread, so that the nutrition is to supply, separately will slowly to normal gradually, plant summer dormancy, other season to grow. Peeling period and stone flower almost, but the peeling period is longer, peeling period more bask in, less water.
