Cultivation methods of golden buds

Temperature and light

The suitable temperature for the growth of golden buds is between 15-25℃, which is safe The overwintering temperature needs to be kept above 10°C, otherwise the plants will stop growing.

Golden bud flowers like a warm, humid and well-illuminated growth environment, but you must pay attention to appropriate lighting, avoid direct sunlight in summer, and do a good job of shading. It is best to place it in a semi-shaded place for maintenance, and pay attention to ventilation. Keeping plants fully illuminated in spring, autumn and winter is conducive to healthy plant growth and reduces diseases. If the plant is placed in an environment that is too shady for a long time, it will appear leggy, the flowering period will be delayed, and the flowering will be less.

Water

During the growth period of golden buds, the soil in the pot needs to be kept moist, and the air humidity in the surrounding environment must also be maintained at a high level. However, water must not accumulate, otherwise the roots will easily rot. Generally, water once a day in spring and autumn. In summer or drought periods, you should always pay attention to increasing the air humidity around the flower pot. In summer, water 2-3 times a day, and use spray to spray water on the leaves. In winter, you need to control watering and keep the pot soil slightly moist. However, if the temperature is above 25°C during the day in winter and can be maintained at around 15°C at night, the plants can still bloom. At this time, normal water and fertilizer management is sufficient.

Soil

The cultivation soil of golden bracts requires fertile, loose, acidic soil with good drainage and air permeability, avoid heavy clay soil. For the preparation of pot soil, you can mix leaf mold soil, garden soil, river sand and decomposed organic fertilizer in a ratio of 5:3:1:1.

Fertilization

Golden bract flowers like fertilizer. Apply decomposed thin liquid fertilizer every 1 or 2 weeks during the growth period to promote vigorous growth and more flowering of the plants. During the flowering period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers must be applied twice to ensure the supply of nutrients for the pregnant buds to bloom.

Pest control

The main pests of golden bud flowers include red spider mites, aphids, scale insects, etc. The leaves must be sprayed once a month with 1000 times of Lesbon and 800 times of meth. thiophanate mixture for prevention and treatment.

Disease prevention

The latter generally uses 40% omethoate 800 times liquid or methanoate 500-800 times liquid spray.
