Watering management of golden echinops

The golden barrel cactus is a drought-resistant plant, but it also needs to be watered on time and in the right amount.

First of all, in spring and summer: the period between late April and June is the time when the golden barrel cactus requires more water, so watering needs to be more frequent, every 3-4 days. Generally, watering is required in the morning and evening. It is better to water at 9-10 am or 4-5 pm. Watering can be done gently from the edge of the pot. Note that each watering must be done thoroughly.

In winter and summer, due to the cold and hot weather, the growth of the golden barrel cactus slows down and it will enter dormancy. During this period, you must pay attention to reducing the amount of watering. Basically, it is sufficient to water it once every 10 days or so. Each time you water it, you can water it semi-permeably, or even not water it at all.

Fertilization management of golden echinops

Spring is the main growing season for the golden barrel cactus. At this time, it is necessary to ensure sufficient fertilizer. You can apply thin fertilizer frequently, generally once a week. In May and June, you can apply fertilizer every 4 or 5 days, and the concentration of the fertilizer can be slightly higher.

In summer, because of the hot weather, the golden barrel cactus will enter a dormant state, so do not apply fertilizer at this time.

In autumn, the golden echinops begins to grow again and you can resume fertilizing. In September and October, you need to fertilize once a week.

As winter approaches and the temperature drops, the golden barrel cactus goes dormant again, so fertilizing should still be stopped.

Every time you fertilize the golden barrel cactus, you can use poultry, fish residues or poultry manure as fertilizer. After it is decomposed, dilute it with water and apply it directly. The time for fertilization is generally 9 am or 5 pm.

Well, the above are the water and fertilizer management tips for Golden Bark Sophora japonica. Let’s try it now!
