How to raise golden diamond

1. Breeding environment

(1) Temperature: It likes warmth, around 25 degrees Celsius is best. It is not cold-resistant and will freeze below five degrees. Therefore, it should not be kept indoors in winter but should be moved to a warm place such as indoors or a greenhouse.

(2) Light: It prefers a semi-shaded environment, but not too dark, otherwise its leaf color will become lighter and the leaves will droop. At the same time, too strong light and long-term lighting are also not good.

(3) Watering: The plant needs a lot of water, especially during the growth period. During this stage, the soil in the pot needs to be kept moist, especially in the hot summer, when water is essential. In addition to watering, you can also spray some water appropriately. Be careful not to allow water to accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot.

(4) Fertilization: Nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer used during the peak growth season. However, do not apply too much fertilizer at one time, and the concentration should not be too high. In general, it means "apply small amounts of fertilizer frequently." In autumn and winter, control the amount of fertilizer to help the plants survive the winter.

(5) Soil: Sandy soil that is rich in humus, well-drained and slightly acidic is the best. Specifically, it can be prepared with peat and perlite.

2. Pruning

If the plant is not pruned for a long time, its leaves will turn yellow. Therefore, old leaves and branches need to be pruned regularly. Too dense branches can also be cut off to improve the ornamental value.

3. Repotting

Because the golden diamond grows fast, it needs to be repotted regularly. Change it every three or four years, in the spring. Pay attention to controlling fertilizer and water when changing.
