Golden Moon cactus cultivation method
Little knowledge about the succulent plant Golden Moon, let's take a look at the cultivation method of Golden Moon!
Golden Moon is a succulent plant from the Sedum family, which is a variegated mutation variety of the flower month. The plant has a multi-branched shrub shape with distinct, round stems, green or brownish epidermis, and small dots on the leaves. The succulent leaves are opposite, densely growing at the top of the stem or branches, ovate, slightly incurved, slightly pointed at the tip, and the leaf color ranges from yellow-green to golden yellow, with a glossy sheen. When the temperature difference is large in winter, the edges of the leaves turn red, and the center is golden yellow, which is very beautiful. Under controlled watering and strong sunlight, the entire plant presents a very beautiful yellow-red color, while the general cultivation color is yellow-green.
Golden Moon needs adequate sunlight for the leaves to be colorful and the plant to be tighter and more beautiful. Insufficient sunlight causes the leaves to turn light green, the leaf arrangement to become loose, the leaves to stretch out, and the branches to be very soft. Golden Moon is a medium to large-sized plant, and the pot can be changed every few years depending on the growth state, with the pot diameter being 1 to 2 inches larger than the plant diameter, which can promote plant growth. The medium must be completely dry before watering, and slow-release fertilizer can be applied. Propagation usually involves the cutting method. Cuttings can be made throughout the year, and after the wound is dried, the cutting is inserted into slightly moist soil to wait for root growth.
Kite is kept in a sunroom, but once the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, it is moved to bright scattered light to slowly reduce watering. During the entire summer dormancy period, there is little or no water given, and by mid-September when the temperature drops, watering is gradually resumed. Adapted to the sunroom, Golden Moon can grow normally in summer with not very obvious dormancy. However, do not overwater in summer, otherwise, the plant may die. During the growing period, the leaves can be sprayed with water. In winter, if the temperature can be maintained above 5 degrees, watering can be given, but below 5 degrees, watering should be stopped, or the plant may easily freeze.
Although it is cold in winter, it is not completely without water throughout the season. Kite will also give a little water away from the roots at appropriate times, but do not spray or give too much water, as Golden Moon is not cold-resistant and excessive water can cause rot. After the temperature rises in spring, normal watering can be gradually resumed. Golden Moon is a very easy-to-care-for variety, and except for proper shading in summer, it can be exposed to full sunlight in other seasons. The soil used by Kite is a mix of peat and granular coal slag, with large granular stones laid on the soil surface, with the soil mainly focused on breathability.
The above is the complete content of the cultivation method of Golden Moon, for your comprehensive understanding and reference!
