Soil: Sandy loam and forest soil with sufficient bean fertility and good permeability, avoid stagnant water, resistant to drought.

4. Points for attention

① moisture: summer can not lack of water, basin soil to keep moist, and often spray moisturizing. Watering every ten days in winter, be careful not to spray water on the stem bark.

② sunshine: like light, resistant to strong sun, but also resistant to semi-shade, but long-term shade stems grow slender.

③ fertilizer: add mature organic fertilizer to the nutritious soil before pot planting, fertilize once a month during the growing season, and do not apply fertilizer when dormant in winter and summer.

④ temperature: like warm, big temperature difference between day and night climate conditions, can not bear the cold.

Golden button grafting method

Grafting, mostly in May-June, can use upright column cactus such as pear fruit cactus, big flower snake whip column as rootstock. Take 10 cm of the abnormal stem at the top of the gold button as the scion and heal about 50 days after grafting.

Through grafting, it can grow into a good overhanging plant shape. Butt joint and miter joint can be used. The most suitable grafting time is from May to September. The method is as follows: select the branch of the leaf cactus that is not completely Lignified, cut it from the branch 2Mel 3cm, and cut it into a cone of about 1cm, and insert a young, green golden button at the tip of the rootstock without binding.

After the golden button grafting, pay attention to shading and control watering, the humidity is not easy to be too large, otherwise it will cause grafting failure. After more than ten days, the scion remained fresh green and survived. After removing the binding material and then entering the normal management, the grafted plants grew stronger and faster than the cutting plants, and could breed 5 lateral branches or even more.

Common pests of Golden Button and their Control methods

1. Red spider

Red spiders are one of the most common plant pests, and red spiders reproduce quickly and can reproduce about 10 generations a year. The red spider is very small. It uses piercing mouthparts to insert the mesophyll and stem bark of the plant, sucking the sap of the plant, causing the plant to turn yellow and even wither.

Prevention and control method: it can be sprayed with 1500 times of omethoate EC.

2. White spider

White spiders were originally not pests found in our country, but imported. Generally imported products have strong drug resistance, so the prevention and control of white spiders is more difficult. However, if it is difficult, we must guard against it, otherwise, a basin of beautiful gold buttons will be destroyed!

Prevention and control method: spray with 2000 times solution of 5% parabalin suspension.

3. Whitefly

The performance of insect pests: the adult nymphs sucked the sap of leaves, fruits and twigs, and the damaged leaves appeared green, yellow and white spots, which expanded into pieces with the aggravation of the damage, and then the whole leaves were pale and early falling; the flavor quality of the damaged fruits decreased, and the young fruits often fell off. Excreting honeydew can cause coal fouling disease.

Early pest control methods: when whitefly occurs sporadically, the medicine begins to spray 1500 times of 20% paraben wettable powder or 1000 times of 25% mites EC, 3000-4000 times of 2.5% Uranus EC, 2000-3000 times of 2.5% fenvalerate EC, 2000 times of 20% fenvalerate EC and 1500 times of imidacloprid wettable powder every 10 days. 2-3 times continuously.

The suitable temperature for gold button growth is 20: 25. C, can withstand 4c | C low temperature. The habit is strong, there is no special requirement for the soil, and the common flower soil grows well. Golden button in the summer growth period, need sufficient water, and spray more water, to maintain a high air humidity. Fertilize once a month. The overwintering temperature should be more than 10 ℃.

Appropriate shade is needed when outdoor cultivation in the middle of summer. If you move indoors in winter, you need plenty of sunshine and less watering. The golden button stem is slender, creeping and multi-branched. When potted, it is necessary to set up a support or hang hanging pot cultivation. The whole plant must be pruned to maintain a graceful state. In the growing period, in addition to fully watering, but also often spray water to increase air humidity. In summer, we should pay attention to the ventilation of the cultivation site, and it is best to put the plant outside the semi-shade.
