Do not water too much during the growth period of Jinhuangxing, keep the pot soil dry, and avoid showers when maintaining in the open air on the balcony. Fertilize once a month during the growing season and do not fertilize too thickly. In addition, common diseases should be prevented and repotted once a year in spring. The potting soil should be loose and well-drained.

Water

Jinhuangxing Do not water too much during the growth period, and keep the pot soil dry. If the pot soil is too wet, the stems and leaves will easily become leggy, and the leaves and roots will It will also start to rot and lose its ornamental value. Especially in low-temperature environments in winter, when there is too much water, the roots are prone to rot and death.

Don’t water too much when the temperature is high in midsummer, otherwise the plants will suffer from physiological water shortage, causing the leaves to wilt. Avoid showers when maintaining the balcony in the open air.

Fertilization

Every month during the growth period Apply fertilizer once to keep the leaves crisp and green. However, fertilizer should not be applied too thickly, as thick fertilizer will damage the roots and be detrimental to the growth of the plant. Fertilizing too much and too frequently will cause the internodes to elongate and affect the posture. If the branches are leggy or old, they can be cut short and then fertilized to promote rejuvenation.

For fertilization, generally choose a thin fertilizer with "low nitrogen, high phosphorus and potassium". When fertilizing, be careful not to splash the fertilizer water on the leaves to avoid forming ugly spots that are difficult to remove.

dormant period

Jin Huangxing In summer, it will enter a short dormant period, and the leaves at the base will basically slowly fall off, leaving only a few leaves at the top. At this time, the plant is in a slow growth stage. Water it once a month and do not water it thoroughly to maintain basic life. Just pay attention to shading and ventilation when the temperature is high.

Disease Control

Jinhuangxing The main diseases are leaf spot and rust. When the disease occurs, spray 2000 times of carboxin wettable powder in time; common pests include root-knot nematodes and black weevils. Use 40% omethoate EC 1000 times to kill them. However, The possibility of pest infestation in the home is still relatively small.

Cultivation precautions

Winter planting In a sunny place indoors, maintain a temperature of 6°C to 8°C and water sparingly to prevent root rot caused by low temperature and humidity. It is not advisable to water too much during high temperatures in midsummer, otherwise the leaves will wither and fall off due to root rot. Ventilation should be strengthened to prevent heavy rains.

Repot the pot once a year in spring. The pot soil must be loose and well-drained. Commonly used are 1 part each of leaf mold soil, garden soil, and coarse sand. Mix well before use, and add a small amount of bone meal as base fertilizer.

After 4 years of maintenance, Jinhuangxing plants tend to age easily. New seedlings should be cultivated to renew the old plants.
