High temperature and high pressure.
Fusion needs very high temperatures (to give nuclei enough kinetic energy to overcome their electrostatic repulsion) and high pressure or density (to make collisions frequent enough). In practice you also need sufficient confinement time — summarized by the Lawson criterion or the fusion triple product n·T·τ.
