雪(xue)蓮果(guo)懼霜、畏寒，最適宜生(sheng)(sheng)長(chang)(chang)環(huan)境溫度在18-24℃之間，海拔(ba)在1000米以上的(de)(de)高山上，而且要在晝(zhou)夜溫差大(da)，有夜潮、云霧繚(liao)繞的(de)(de)地方生(sheng)(sheng)長(chang)(chang)，霧氣對雪(xue)蓮果(guo)成(cheng)長(chang)(chang)儲(chu)存營養最為(wei)有益；水質(zhi)的(de)(de)要求(qiu)很高，最好用蓄積起(qi)來的(de)(de)泉水或山泉水，否則對雪(xue)蓮果(guo)的(de)(de)品質(zhi)不利(li)；需土質(zhi)疏松、通氣良好的(de)(de)紅(hong)砂土、紅(hong)土及砂壤土，其它(ta)土壤即使長(chang)(chang)得根莖(jing)大(da)品質(zhi)也不佳。 

雪(xue)蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)果(guo)(guo)由枝葉(xie)(xie)、種(zhong)球(qiu)、雪(xue)蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)果(guo)(guo)和(he)根系(xi)(xi)(xi)(xi)組成(cheng)(cheng)，枝桿的末端(duan)盤繞著像姜餅一(yi)樣(yang)的種(zhong)球(qiu)，種(zhong)球(qiu)下就是(shi)雪(xue)蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)果(guo)(guo)及其根系(xi)(xi)(xi)(xi)。所有(you)(you)(you)最長的根系(xi)(xi)(xi)(xi)不(bu)超過35厘米(mi)，其中1/4的根系(xi)(xi)(xi)(xi)從中上部向兩端(duan)成(cheng)(cheng)長膨大成(cheng)(cheng)雪(xue)蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)果(guo)(guo)，3/4的根系(xi)(xi)(xi)(xi)吸收養份供(gong)給葉(xie)(xie)枝成(cheng)(cheng)長，葉(xie)(xie)枝利用(yong)熱、氣、陽(yang)光(guang)(guang)(guang)、雨露、霧(wu)等(deng)外界有(you)(you)(you)益物和(he)光(guang)(guang)(guang)合作用(yong)得到(dao)養分反哺(bu)雪(xue)蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)果(guo)(guo)及種(zhong)球(qiu)而進行(xing)成(cheng)(cheng)長。這地特殊的生物因(yin)子(zi)如(ru)果(guo)(guo)受到(dao)農藥(yao)、化肥(fei)(fei)肥(fei)(fei)料(liao)及污染的水質或光(guang)(guang)(guang)合作用(yong)差，土(tu)壤水份過量過干及土(tu)質不(bu)適宜均(jun)會影(ying)響生物因(yin)子(zi)的正常活動或阻止雪(xue)蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)果(guo)(guo)有(you)(you)(you)效成(cheng)(cheng)份的形成(cheng)(cheng)，經不(bu)同(tong)的種(zhong)植(zhi)取樣(yang)檢測證實(shi)：凡(fan)采用(yong)農藥(yao)、化肥(fei)(fei)施肥(fei)(fei)、種(zhong)植(zhi)密度大光(guang)(guang)(guang)合作用(yong)差，生育期低于10個月的雪(xue)蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)果(guo)(guo)的有(you)(you)(you)效成(cheng)(cheng)份幾乎無幾。肥(fei)(fei)料(liao)必(bi)須選用(yong)完全腐熟后的家(jia)畜肥(fei)(fei)，最好是(shi)牛、馬、豬糞進行(xing)腐熟后的肥(fei)(fei)料(liao)比較溫(wen)和(he)。 

對雪(xue)蓮(lian)果的病蟲(chong)害(hai)防(fang)治，雪(xue)蓮(lian)果的天(tian)敵是白螞蟻(yi)和土蠶(can)，要在(zai)(zai)挖(wa)塘后(hou)進(jin)行，每(mei)塘用熟石灰(hui)粉或木炭灰(hui)自(zi)然環保型的燒堿拌勻在(zai)(zai)塘中殺蟲(chong)(不(bu)能(neng)拌入肥料,造成酸(suan)堿中合(he),減少肥效)。葉枝長出后(hou)常有青葉蟲(chong)傷害(hai)，必(bi)須隨時檢(jian)查人工捕(bu)捉。
