Golden marble watering

Normally, the soil in the pot of the golden marble should be kept moist. The frequency of watering should be increased in summer. You can spray water to increase the humidity of the surrounding air. The moisture should be strictly controlled during the flower bud differentiation period. Dryness should be the main focus, and watering should be done when the soil in the pot is dry.

Golden marble fertilization

In spring, nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer for golden ball, which promotes the growth of branches and prepares for the cultivation of new fruiting branches. Fertilize fully during the growth period and apply more phosphorus fertilizer. In the later stage of plant growth, mainly potassium fertilizer is applied, such as wood ash. It is usually combined with repotting and the addition of cake fertilizer and other fertilizers.
