For the netizens who are concerned, detailed explanation on how often to water the golden heart Yeman iron and some small experiences of green plant maintenance about the cultivation methods and precautions of the golden heart iron, the following is introduced by the editor for the netizens.
The golden edge Yeman iron, with graceful leaves, is one of the most shade-tolerant ornamental plants among indoor green plants. It is suitable for placement in hotels, hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, indoor living rooms, and offices. It is a good material for various indoor arrangements, can embellish the living room, decorate the hall, and has strong adaptability to light, which can effectively absorb formaldehyde, benzene, and other harmful gases in the room. Next, I would like to share with you the maintenance methods of the golden edge Yeman iron:
1. Light: The golden edge Yeman iron prefers semi-shade and is also shade-tolerant, but long-term shading is not conducive to the health of the Yeman iron. It is best to place it in a bright area with scattered light, and avoid direct sunlight in summer to prevent leaf sunburn and yellowing or whitening of the leaves.
2. Soil: Use well-drained, slightly acidic leaf mold soil for the golden edge Yeman iron.
3. Temperature: The golden edge Yeman iron prefers a warm, humid, and well-ventilated environment, with an optimal growth temperature of 20-30°C. In the hot summer, it needs to be properly shaded, and the room temperature in winter should not be lower than 5°C, with a dormant temperature of 13°C.

4. Watering: The golden edge Yeman iron does not require much water. Generally, it is suitable to water when the soil is dry to slightly moist. Water once a week during the growing season and maintain clean water quality. In high summer temperatures, spray water on the leaves in the morning and evening.
5. Fertilization: Fertilization of the golden edge Yeman iron is combined with watering, usually using water-soluble fertilizers or decomposed cake fertilizers. During the vigorous growth period, fertilizers can be added with each watering for supplementation; but during slow growth, fertilizers should not be added or only a small amount should be added. Fertilization should focus on NPK ternary compound fertilizers and avoid biasing towards a single element. Foliar fertilizers can also be applied externally, such as spraying 0.1-0.2% urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every half month.
6. Pest control: The common disease of the golden edge Yeman iron is anthracnose, mainly affecting the leaves. The lesions are semi-circular to irregular in shape, ranging from reddish-brown to grayish-brown with a reddish-brown to light brown pattern. They spread from the leaf tip to the base, causing partial or even complete discoloration and drying of the leaves. The disease is prone to occur in gardens with high humidity. Control methods: Appropriate application of phosphorus fertilizer, avoid excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer. Chemicals that can be used include 30% copper oxychloride suspension + 70% thiophanate-methyl or 75% carbendazim wettable powder (1:1) 1000 times solution, or 40% polysulfur suspension 600 times solution, or 70% sulfur manganese zinc wettable powder 800-1000 times solution, or 50% compound methyl thiophanate wettable powder 1000 times solution, applied once every 7-15 days, for 2-3 times or more; spray more in the early stage of the disease and adjust the dosage according to the degree of damage in the later stage, alternating applications, and ensuring thorough coverage.
