How to Cultivate Golden Kylin Flower
Let me tell you about how to cultivate the Golden Kylin Flower and the cultivation methods and precautions related to the knowledge of flowers. Detailed introduction is provided below for you.
The Golden Kylin Flower is a succulent plant. Due to its horizontal growth, it has a unique shape, with the whole plant resembling an open fan, featuring ridged protrusions on the surface. The entire plant looks like the auspicious beast Kylin from ancient Chinese culture, and under the illumination of lights, the ridged protrusions reflect a golden shine, hence the name Golden Kylin Flower. How should one properly cultivate the succulent Golden Kylin Flower? Let's understand together from three aspects: soil selection, watering and fertilizing management, and temperature and lighting.
1. Soil Selection
The 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
The Golden Kylin Flower is drought-resistant and dislikes moisture, so watering should not be excessive. Water 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, the watering frequency should be reduced to once every 10 days. The Golden Kylin Flower does not like fertilizer and should not be fertilized excessively or too concentratedly. During its growing season (April to October), apply a dilute iron sulfate fertilizer once a month. After October, as the temperature gradually drops, fertilizing should be stopped.
3. Temperature Environment
The Golden Kylin Flower is susceptible to cold and does not tolerate frost well. The most suitable temperature is between 15-20°C. Therefore, it needs to be moved into a warm indoor area when the first cold wave arrives. If the temperature drops below 7°C in winter, it may cause the leaves to fall off in large numbers, so measures such as moving it to the side of a radiator or under an air conditioner's warm air outlet should be taken. The Golden Kylin Flower loves sunlight, and can be exposed to full sunlight in spring and autumn, with 8 hours being most suitable. During the hot summer sun, it is important to provide shade. If the sunlight is insufficient in winter, artificial lighting can be used if possible.
