How to keep golden diamond in winter

1. Methods

1. Pot soil

Use an appliance with good ventilation for it. If it is not beautiful enough, you can cover it with other flower pots. You can use coarse sand to line the bottom of the container and add some oil residue as base fertilizer. It likes fertile, breathable, loose soil, preferably acidic. The soil in many places in the north is alkaline, so you can use fermented rice washing water to water the plant. You can also prepare the soil yourself by mixing rotten leaves, peat soil and some coarse sand. The soil has a warming effect and can help it resist the cold winter. Depending on its growth, the pot can be changed every two years or so, usually in spring.

2. Light temperature

It prefers a humid environment and is shade-tolerant, but not cold-resistant. In winter, it should be placed in a sunny area of ​​the home, such as a balcony. It needs an environment of 18 to 25 degrees. If you want it to survive the winter safely, you must create conditions for it that are no lower than 8 degrees, and the coldest cannot be lower than 5 degrees. If the temperature in your home is above 15 degrees in winter, it can even continue to grow.

3. Water and fertilizer

It needs a lot of water. You can usually use some rice water to water it, which can replenish water and supplement nutrients. It should be kept moist during its growth period. The temperature drops in winter, so you should reduce the number of watering and wait until the soil is dry before watering again. Although the house is relatively dry during the severe winter in the north, it has a strong ability to adapt, so there is no need to worry too much. Add cake fertilizer water once every month. In winter, you can temporarily stop watering or not add fertilizer.

2. Precautions

1. Do not water too often, the bottom of the pot should be easy to drain and ventilate, and the indoor lighting should not be too dim, which is not conducive to growth.

2. In winter, we need to control water and fertilizer. To prevent the leaves from growing too scattered, we can use wooden sticks to support the petioles. After the leaves have grown well in winter, we can slowly loosen them.
