How to Water the Diamond Emerald Plant

1. Watering method

It is relatively drought-resistant, so it does not need to be watered frequently during maintenance, and drier soil will not affect its growth. Be careful not to allow water to accumulate. Normally, there is no need to water as long as the soil is slightly moist. Follow the principle of preferring dryness to wetness. In addition, the time for watering is also important. It should be done in the morning or evening, and water thoroughly so that the roots and the bottom soil are moist.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: When cultivating, use loose soil containing humus and good drainage. You can mix leaf mold and garden soil with an appropriate amount of coarse sand, which can basically meet the growth needs.

2. Light: It is a very light-loving plant. During maintenance, it needs at least 6 hours of light a day. In spring and autumn, the light temperature is warm and it is the peak growth season, so it can accept full-day light time. But it needs to be shaded in summer and moved indoors in time in winter.

3. Temperature: Its growth has strict temperature requirements. It neither likes high temperatures nor can tolerate low temperatures. The most suitable temperature is between 10 and 25 degrees. Therefore, it is necessary to cool down in summer and control the temperature in winter to avoid frostbite.

4. Fertilization: Fertilize once every 20 days or so during the growth period. A diluted nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium solution can be used. Be careful not to use too much nitrogen fertilizer, as it will easily cause excessive growth.
