Culture methods and matters needing attention of Golden Diamond

Golden diamond is also known as golden diamond vine green velvet, Camptotheca acuminata, evil king and so on. It has strong vitality and can purify the air by absorbing all kinds of poisonous gases. It is suitable for home, office, guesthouse, hotel and other places. It is decorated indoors, generous and elegant, rich in tropical rain forest atmosphere. Let's take a look at the breeding methods and matters needing attention of golden diamond.

Growth habits of Golden Diamond

Golden diamond is a plant that likes warm, moist and semi-shaded environment, and is afraid of severe cold. The overwintering temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃. Golden diamond culture should be placed in a semi-shady place to avoid direct sunlight in summer. During the growing period, you should always keep the soil moist, avoid being too dry, and keep it away from heating and air-conditioning outlets. Avoid strong light, the suitable temperature for growth is 20-30 ℃, and the growth begins at 10 ℃. The requirement of soil is not strict, it is better to grow in sandy loam rich in humus and good drainage, and potted soil is often mixed with peat and perlite to prepare nutrient soil.

The breeding method of Golden Diamond

1. Cutting: the golden diamond is suitable for cutting propagation from May to September, cut the stem with strong growth and long branches, insert it directly into the clean river sand, and then put it in the semi-shady place to maintain a high air humidity, the environmental temperature is about 25 ℃, and it can take root 20-25 days after cutting.

2. Ramet: when there is a small plant at the base of the old plant, the small plant should be carefully separated from the old plant so as not to hurt the old plant. You can also choose to remove the heart of the lateral plant, which can not only dwarf the plant, but also give birth to more lateral plants. when the new lateral plant is about 15 cm, it can be cut off with aerial roots and replanted.

Culture method of golden diamond

1. Soil: Golden diamond culture is not strict on soil, it is better to use sandy loam rich in humus and good drainage, and potted plants are generally made of peat and perlite.

2. Watering: the golden diamond likes the humid environment, and the page of the golden diamond is wide and thin, and the demand for water is relatively large, so it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist in the growth cycle, especially in the summer high temperature period, but can not water too much. The stagnant water in the basin soil is easy to cause the root system of the golden diamond plant to rot and die.

3. Sunshine: the golden diamond likes the semi-shady environment and is not strict with the light, but it cannot tolerate the long-term shaded environment, otherwise it will cause the leaf color to become lighter, the petiole longer, the leaf sagging and the ornamental quality reduced. Also can not be directed by strong light, otherwise the leaf is prone to dry leaf tip, leaf edge scorched edge, leaf color whitening and loss of luster, so it is most suitable for semi-overcast or astigmatism sufficient environment to maintain.

4. Fertilization: Golden diamond needs to provide sufficient fertilizer in the period of vigorous growth, mainly nitrogen fertilizer is better, at the same time, pay attention to do not apply too much fertilizer at one time, it is best to apply thin fertilizer frequently. After entering the autumn, we should pay attention to control the amount of fertilizer to facilitate the winter. When the temperature is below 20 ℃, we should stop applying fertilizer.

5. Diseases and insect pests: the common diseases of golden diamond are leaf spot, anthracnose and so on. Generally, wettable powder such as carbendazim, methyl thiophanate and Dysen zinc are used to control them, and the effect is obvious. In terms of insect pests, there are mainly red spiders and shell insects, which can be sprayed and controlled, and environmental management should be strengthened at the same time.

6. Pruning: the golden diamond usually begins to appear yellow, withered, scorched and other leaves after a period of cultivation, which should be checked. If it is not caused by diseases, it is only a simple metabolism, then it is necessary to prune the old leaves in time to reduce the loss of plant nutrients.

Matters needing attention of Golden Diamond

1. Golden Diamond likes a warm climate. The temperature of breeding needs to be kept at about 20 ℃, not less than 10 ℃, and to avoid heating, air conditioning and cold wind.

2. The golden diamond is produced in the tropical rain forest and has a great demand for water. generally, the air humidity is required to be kept between 50% and 75%, which is lower than 50% of the dry edge of the yellow leaves.

3. Golden diamond watering is best carried out when the surface of basin soil is dry, and can be kept moist in high temperature in summer. If the ambient temperature is lower than 15 ℃ in winter, dry and wet alternating watering is needed.

4. Golden Diamond likes light, but avoids strong direct light. It is better to maintain the environment in a semi-shade or a place with sufficient scattering, not in a shady environment for a long time, otherwise the leaves are easy to yellowing and the light is not too strong, so that the leaves will not be glossy.

5. Golden Diamond fertilization should be based on the principle of frequent application of thin fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer.
