Descendant balls require well-drained calcareous soil. Keep the pot soil moist without water accumulation. Do not pour water from the top of the ball when watering to avoid water accumulation in the "small pit" at the top of the ball, causing rot. .

Pure sand is easy to sterilize, but has poor water retention and must be transplanted immediately after emergence. The soil must be strictly sterilized. You can mix the soil into pots and then steam the pots together in a steamer for 1 hour.
The sowing pot should be a light purple clay pot or a glazed pot, preferably not a wooden pot. The basin and basin bottom drainage should be washed and dried before use. 2-3 days before sowing, soak the seeds in 0.3% copper sulfate solution or 1% formalin solution for 5 minutes, then take them out and soak them in clean water until the seeds swell slightly before sowing.
