Cultivation environment: Golden Finger is drought-resistant, ensure sufficient sunlight, and can grow at 15-22°C; do not water shallowly when watering, water thoroughly every time, fertilize once a month during the growth period, and stop fertilizing in winter; in addition Pay attention to cultivating in a ventilated area to prevent pests and diseases. The propagation method can be propagated by division.

Light temperature requirements

Goldfinger is a plant in the cactus family. It is absolutely easy to grow. It is resistant to drought, water and humidity. It can survive tenaciously as long as it is not operated. Let’s take a look at how to maintain golden fingers?

Light and temperature requirements

Cactus plants originally grew in arid desert areas with sufficient sunlight. When moving to ordinary homes, the intensity of the sunlight must be ensured. Full sun is sufficient and no shading is required. It doesn’t matter if you get more sun on a sunny day, or if you don’t have any sunshine on a cloudy day.

The most suitable temperature for growth is 15~22℃, and the temperature in full sunlight is 20~28℃. It is basically close to the temperature of human life, and does not require cooling or supplementary lighting when placed at home. Be careful not to leave it outdoors in winter to avoid frostbite.

Water and fertilizer requirements

Goldfinger watering The water should be kept dry and watered thoroughly. The most taboo thing is to pour shallow water every now and then, especially the remaining water in the cup. Goldfinger is very resistant to drought. When the temperature is low in winter, it can survive the winter safely by keeping the pot soil slightly dry.

Goldfinger does not need much fertilizer. Fertilize once a month during the growth period. Choose decomposed cake fertilizer to dilute and soak, water the fertilizer, or choose granular fertilizer. Stop fertilizing during the dormant period in winter.

Preventing pests and diseases

Goldfinger likes Fertile, well-drained soil, so proper soil selection before planting can save a lot of unnecessary trouble. One is to reduce fertilization in the later period, and the other is to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.

Goldfinger rarely suffers from diseases and insect pests, but there are dangers such as anthracnose, leaf blight and scale insects. Prevention and control should be done to achieve early detection and early treatment. These diseases and insect pests often occur when ventilation is poor, so attention should be paid to maintaining ventilation in the breeding environment.

Repot by divisions

Gold The fingers do not grow very fast, but after a period of time many sub-balls will grow next to them, and they will soon cover the pot surface. Usually, the plant is repotted or repotted once every 1 to 2 years, and the plants can be divided during repotting.
