The cultivation methods and precautions of golden diamond

Farming methods

Loosen the soil

The cultivation of golden diamonds is not very demanding on the soil. It is better to use sandy loam rich in humus and with good drainage. Potted plants are generally made of a mixture of peat and perlite.

Water in time

The golden diamond is native to the tropical rain forest and likes a humid environment. The golden diamond has large leaves and requires a lot of water, so the soil in the pot should be kept moist during the growing period, especially during the high temperature period in summer. But don't water too much, as waterlogging in the potting soil can easily cause the roots of the golden diamond plant to rot and die.

Proper shade

The golden diamond is shade-tolerant and has no strict requirements on light, but it needs to be grown in a shaded environment for a long time. Otherwise, the color of its leaves will become lighter, its petioles will become longer, and its leaves will droop, reducing its ornamental value. During maintenance, direct sunlight should also be avoided, otherwise the leaves will easily dry up at the tips, burn at the edges, turn white and lose their luster. Therefore, in order to ensure the healthy growth of the golden diamond, the potted plants should be placed in a semi-shaded or diffused light environment for maintenance.

Adequate fertilization

Diamond plant likes fertilizer, and needs to be provided with sufficient fertilizer during its vigorous growth period. Nitrogen fertilizer is better. At the same time, be careful not to apply too much fertilizer at one time. It is best to apply thin fertilizer frequently. Pay attention to the growth of the golden diamond and apply fertilizer appropriately. If the leaves turn yellow due to lack of fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer should be added in time.

After entering autumn, you should pay attention to controlling the amount of fertilizer to facilitate wintering. When the temperature is below 20℃, stop fertilizing.

Proper trimming

The leaves of the golden diamond that has been cultivated for a period of time will turn yellow and burnt. If improper maintenance or pests and diseases are not the cause, it can be determined that this is the normal metabolism of the golden diamond and the old leaves need to be pruned in time. When pruning, cut off yellow leaves, overly dense, and lean branches to reduce the loss of nutrients in the plant. When pruning, be sure to use sharp tools to reduce plant injuries.

Precautions

Temperature and humidity should be appropriate

Golden Diamond likes a warm climate, and the breeding temperature needs to be kept at around 20℃ and not lower than 10℃. It should also avoid heating, air conditioning and cold wind.

Golden Diamond is produced in tropical rainforests and has a relatively large demand for water. Generally, the air humidity is required to be maintained between 50~75%. If it is lower than 50%, the leaves will easily turn yellow and the edges will dry. The air humidity can be increased by spraying or sprinkling water.

It is best to water the Golden Diamond when the surface of the potting soil is dry. It can be kept moist during the high temperature period in summer. If the ambient temperature is below 15℃ in winter, alternating dry and wet watering is required.

Likes light but afraid of strong light

Golden Diamond likes light, but avoids strong direct sunlight. The best maintenance environment is semi-shaded or well-scattered light. It cannot be maintained in a shaded environment for a long time, otherwise the leaves will easily turn yellow. The light should not be too strong, otherwise the leaves will turn white and lose their luster.
