The best time for the golden diamond to divide into plants belongs to Araceae, also known as the golden diamond vine green velvet, Camptotheca acuminata, also known as the king of evil spirits. Golden diamond is a shade plant, which was first discovered in South America and has obvious characteristics of tropical rain forest plants. Golden diamond is a popular indoor foliage plant, which has developed aerial roots and strong vitality, and also has the function of purifying air, and is suitable for homes, office buildings, hotels and other places.
Golden diamond varieties: golden leaf taro, red bud taro, heart leaf taro, arrow leaf taro, three leaf taro, golden diamond rattan green velvet and so on.
Miniature gold diamonds can also be propagated by ramets. Usually in May-July. The temperature and light at this time are conducive to the growth of gold diamonds. The necessary condition for plant division is that the mother plant has been growing for 2-3 years and a number of small plants have sprouted around it.
The method of breeding golden diamonds by dividing plants is to select healthy mother plants of 2-3 years old in May-July, cut off the surrounding small plants, then dry the wounds and plant them in pots with appropriate sizes. Plant the prepared small plants directly in the sterilized soil, compact the soil with both hands, and then water it to keep the soil moist. At this time, fertilization is not needed. Generally, fertilization needs to wait until the small plants grow new leaves.
Steps and diagrams of dividing plants of golden diamonds In the propagation method of golden diamonds, dividing plants is relatively simple. By doing maintenance and management well in advance, plants can grow healthier and survive more easily after dividing plants.
1. The necessary condition for plant division is that the mother plant has been growing for 2-3 years and several small plants have sprouted around it.
2. Take the gold diamond out of the pot and trim the messy roots. Check the growth of small plants around, and score if they grow normally.
3. Use a sharp knife to cut off the small plants growing at the base of the plants, avoid repeated operations when cutting, and reduce the wounds in one step. After cutting, put the small plants in the shade to dry 1-2 hours, and plant them after drying with injury.
4. Choose a suitable flowerpot to plant small plants, pay attention to shaping after the new leaves grow, tie the scattered leaves with a string, and then gradually loosen them after the leaves grow, so as to avoid spreading the leaves too much and occupying space.
Newly-bought Golden Diamond Branch 1 Precautions. Soil: The planting of gold diamonds does not require much soil, and sandy loam with rich humus and good drainage is better. Potted plants are generally made of peat and perlite.
2. Watering: Golden Diamond likes humid environment. The page of Golden Diamond is wide and thin, and needs a lot of water. Therefore, in the growth cycle, especially in the high temperature period in summer, it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist, but it is not advisable to water it too much. The accumulated water in the soil of the basin is likely to lead to the root rot and death of the gold diamond plants.
3. Sunlight: Golden diamond likes semi-shady environment, and the requirements for illumination are not strict, but it can't tolerate long-term shady environment, otherwise the leaves will become pale, the petiole will become longer, the leaves will droop, and the ornamental value will be reduced. Nor can it be directly irradiated by strong light, otherwise the leaves are prone to dry tips, scorched leaves, white leaves and loss of luster.
4. Fertilization: Golden diamonds need to provide sufficient fertilizer during the vigorous growth period, and it is best to give priority to nitrogen fertilizer. At the same time, be careful not to apply too much fertilizer at a time, and it is best to apply thin fertilizer often. After entering the autumn, we should pay attention to controlling the amount of fertilization in order to benefit the winter. When the temperature is below 20℃, fertilization should be stopped.
5. Pests and diseases: Common diseases of gold diamonds include leaf spot and anthracnose. Generally, carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, zineb and other wettable powders are used for control, and the effect is obvious. Pests mainly include red spiders and scale insects, which can be prevented by spraying chemicals, and at the same time, environmental management should be strengthened.
6. Pruning: Gold diamonds generally start to appear yellow, withered, burnt and other leaves after being cultivated for a period of time, which needs to be checked. If it is not caused by simple metabolism such as diseases, it is necessary to prune old leaves in time to reduce the loss of plant nutrients.
