How to Cultivate Golden Kylin Flower
The editor introduces to you how to cultivate Golden Kylin Flower and the maintenance tips for the Kylin Flower plant, covering knowledge about flowers and plants. Let's learn about it together next.
Golden Kylin Flower is a succulent plant. Due to its horizontal growth, it has a unique shape, resembling an open fan with a ridge-like protrusion on the surface. The whole plant looks like the auspicious Kylin beast from ancient Chinese culture, and under the illumination of light, the ridge-like protrusions reflect a golden shine, hence the name Golden Kylin Flower. How should one correctly cultivate the succulent Golden Kylin Flower? Below, we will understand together from three aspects: soil selection, watering and fertilizing management, and temperature and lighting.
1. Soil Selection
Golden Kylin Flower prefers loose, breathable, and well-draining neutral soil. For home cultivation, you can mix pond mud (river mud) with a small amount of coal slag in a 1:1 ratio.
2. Watering and Fertilizing Management
Golden Kylin Flower is drought-resistant and afraid of moisture, and should not be watered too much. Watering should be done only when the potting soil is completely dry and white. In spring, summer, and autumn, which are the growing seasons, water every 2-4 days. In winter, water once every 10 days. Golden Kylin Flower does not like fertilizer and should not be over-fertilized. During its growing season (April to October), fertilize with a thin amount of alum fertilizer water once a month. After October, as the temperature gradually decreases, fertilizing should be stopped.
3. Temperature Environment
Golden Kylin Flower is sensitive to cold and not cold-resistant, with the most suitable temperature being 15-20°C. Therefore, it needs to be moved to a warm place indoors when the first cold wave arrives. If the temperature drops below 7°C in winter, it may cause large areas of leaves to fall off, so measures such as moving it to the side of a radiator or under an air conditioner's warm air outlet should be taken. Golden Kylin Flower loves light and can be exposed to full sunlight in spring and autumn, with 8 hours being the most suitable. In summer, when the sun is too hot, it is important to provide shade. In winter, if there is not enough sunlight, artificial lighting can be补充ed if conditions allow.
