The Golden Moon is a type of succulent plant. The plant is not very tall, and the leaves are golden yellow, which makes it look very aristocratic. It is easy to cultivate and has a very long lifespan. If properly cared for, it can easily survive for decades.

How to cultivate golden moonflower

1. Temperature

The Golden Moon originally grew in South Africa, so it likes a relatively warm environment. However, when the temperature in summer is higher than 35 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to place it in a cool and ventilated place. In winter, it is necessary to keep it indoors and the room temperature should not be lower than 3 degrees Celsius.

2. Soil

When choosing soil for the Golden Moon Flower, you must ensure that the soil has good air permeability and drainage. Therefore, you need to add some granular matter to the soil, such as sand and perlite. Just add half of the granular matter to the garden soil. Never choose soil with high viscosity, which is prone to water accumulation and root rot.

3. Lighting

If you want the leaves of the Golden Moon to have beautiful golden leaves and red edges, sufficient sunlight is very important. It must have at least four hours of sunlight a day to have beautiful colors.

4. Planting in shallow pots

When caring for the golden moonflower, do not choose a deep and large flowerpot. The size of the flowerpot should be determined according to the size of the plant. Remember to use a large pot for small flowers. When caring for the golden moonflower, you can choose a shallow pot, which has better air permeability and drainage, and is conducive to the growth of flowers.

5. Regular pruning

If you want the appearance of the Golden Moon Flower to be more beautiful and unique, you must do proper pruning. When the plant grows to about ten centimeters, you can cut off the lower leaves to enhance ventilation and light transmittance and promote growth. You should also prune the dense branches and leaves to promote the growth of side buds and enhance the ornamental value.

Golden Flower Moon Maintenance Precautions

The golden moonflower grows relatively fast, so it is recommended to plant it alone in a flowerpot when planting, and not to mix it with other succulents, otherwise it will affect the growth of other succulents. After it grows up, it can be propagated by leaf cuttings or cuttings, which is very convenient.

When caring for the Golden Moon Plant in summer, remember not to expose it to direct sunlight. If it is frequently exposed to the sun, it will easily cause the leaves to dry out and wither, and it is also easy to burn the leaves. You can place it at home in a bright and diffused light location. After autumn, expose it to the sun and it will be easier to color.
