Cultivation methods and maintenance of old golden bullet piles

How to grow golden marbles into old ones

The growing stumps of golden ball plants are generally dug up from the wild or obtained from the farmland. If you buy them at the flower market, the price may be more expensive. If you have the growing stumps, you must bring some original soil and never bring them back with bare roots.

Generally speaking, these bonsai have been processed, so these bonsai are called raw stumps. After obtaining the raw stumps, you must bring some original soil balls. These original soil balls are very important for the later cultivation of golden marbles. When cultivating, we can directly put it in the pot. I suggest that you choose soil mixed with sandy soil and river sand for cultivation.

When caring for the fallen golden balls, it is worth noting that if they are dug in April, it will be difficult to keep them alive regardless of whether they are planted in pots or soil. Therefore, on the premise of protecting the natural ecological environment, December of the previous year to January of the next year is the best time to go up the mountain to dig the fallen golden balls and the best time to plant them in pots or in the ground.

Cultivation method of old golden marble pile

After buying the old golden bullet tree stump, it is very dirty during the journey, so it must be rinsed first to clean it, cut the cross-section of the stump, cut out a new cross-section, and then soak the stump in water diluted with potassium permanganate for 1-2 hours to remove bacteria and insects, cut off the tiny roots on the stump, and coat the cut cross-section with white glue or healing agent.

Pruning of old golden marble stump

For most southern regions, March is a more appropriate time to prune the golden ball plant, because the temperature around March is about 15 to 20 degrees. The branches of the golden ball plant at this time have not yet sprouted, and the wounds are easier to recover after pruning, avoiding many risks caused by pruning.

Golden Bullet Old Stump Sprouting

The moisture stored in the branches of the golden ball plant can induce the stump to germinate. For example, if we randomly cut a branch of a flower and leave it on the ground, as long as the temperature and humidity are suitable, it will germinate. However, such buds will not survive for long and will die because the moisture in the cut branches is limited. Once the moisture is absorbed, the branches will dry up, and the buds will naturally die.

Golden ball old pile grows aerial roots

The growth of aerial roots in old golden ball plants is caused by improper maintenance and management, and the maintenance method needs to be changed. It may be due to lack of nutrients and water, and timely watering and fertilization are needed to meet the growth needs of the plant.
