How to cultivate golden fruit

soil

Golden fruit likes loose, fertile and well-drained slightly acidic sandy soil. It can also grow in neutral or slightly alkaline soil and prefers deep soil.

Temperature and light

Golden fruit prefers a warm and sunny growing environment and is not cold-resistant. The suitable temperature for its growth is 20℃ to 30℃. It will stop growing when the temperature is below 0℃. Therefore, the golden fruit needs to be kept indoors during the winter, and the wintering temperature should be above 10℃. It can tolerate high temperatures above 35℃ in summer, but the high temperature cannot last continuously. Golden fruit is more suitable for growing under strong light. It cannot be kept in the shade for a long time. Insufficient light will cause the plant to grow too tall and the leaves to turn yellow and fall off.

Watering and fertilizing

Golden fruit has a high demand for water and fertilizer, prefers a humid environment, and avoids drought and waterlogging. Watering should be moderate. In the hot and dry summer, you can water once or twice a day. In addition, when repotting the golden fruit, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied. During the growth period, for better growth, more nitrogen fertilizer can be applied, and liquid fertilizer should be applied once every half a month. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used mainly during the flowering and fruiting periods.

Reproduction method

The reproduction of golden fruit is usually carried out by sowing and cutting propagation. Sowing is carried out in spring, and cutting propagation is mainly carried out in summer.

Golden fruit cultivation precautions

Dwarfing, fruit thinning

In order to make the golden fruit plant fully dwarfed, you can pinch the top buds during the growth period and develop side buds. After the golden fruit bears fruit, the fruit is large in quantity, so you can erect a support to support the weight and thin the fruit appropriately to make it larger.

Pest control

Golden fruit often suffers from diseases such as leaf spot, anthracnose, and viral diseases. Pests include aphids, whiteflies, and red spiders, which can be controlled by spraying pesticides.
