How to raise Huangli in autumn

1. Lighting

It is a sun-loving plant. The sunlight is too strong in summer, and it is also its dormant period, so it needs shade. But in the fall it will wake up and need appropriate increase in light to restore its growth ability. If the light needs in autumn cannot be met, its leaves will become thin and long, affecting its appearance. There is a lot of sunlight in early autumn, so it needs to be slightly shaded. In late autumn, the sunlight is mild and the daytime is short, so you can put it in a bright place and expose it to sunlight all day.

2. Fertilization

It has just woken up from its dormant period and needs to increase nutrients so that it can grow faster. The fertilizer applied in autumn should be nitrogen-containing, which can promote root growth and is very helpful for plant growth.

3. Watering

When watering it in autumn, you still follow the principle of not watering if the soil is not dry, and watering thoroughly if the soil is dry. Generally, water it once or twice a week. When winter is approaching, you should gradually reduce watering. Its growth is slower in winter and it does not need too much water. If you water it in the same way as before, it will increase its metabolic burden and be detrimental to its growth.

4. Pruning

After autumn, it needs to be pruned to remove the dry and poorly growing leaves. This will concentrate nutrients and promote growth. Be careful when watering after pruning, and do not water on the cut to avoid infection.
