First, keep warm.
Gold diamonds are native to Brazil, Paraguay and other places, and prefer the climate of warm winter and cool summer, so the cold resistance is not high. If the temperature in winter is lower than 10 degrees for a long time, their growth will be hindered and become slow or even stagnant. If the temperature is lower than 5 degrees for a long time, frostbite is easy to occur; If the temperature is below 0 degrees for a long time, plants may be frostbitten or freeze to death. Therefore, in winter maintenance, we should pay attention to keep warm, move to a warm indoor maintenance in time, and try to keep the room temperature above 5~ 10 degrees.
And try to put it away from the gate, window sill and radiator to avoid cold air or warm air blowing directly on the plants, which will accelerate the loss of water in the plants, thus causing the leaves to turn yellow and burn. If it is cold at home at night, you can wrap the plants with old clothes or plastic bags to achieve the effect of heat preservation and antifreeze, and then open them when the weather is warm during the day, which is convenient for ventilation and light transmission.
Second, increase the light
Although the diamond is more resistant to shade and likes bright scattered light, if it is kept in a dark room, it is easy to cause white branches and leaves, drooping leaves and pale leaves due to insufficient light, which greatly reduces the ornamental value of plants. In addition, the sunshine in winter is soft, so there is no strong light to burn the leaves. Therefore, it can be maintained in winter, and it can be placed in a bright place indoors and let it bask in the sun as much as possible. Adequate light can not only promote photosynthesis, but also accumulate more nutrients, making leaves greener and brighter. It can also increase the temperature around the plant, thus enhancing the cold resistance of the plant and being beneficial to its safe overwintering.
Third, reduce watering appropriately.
Although gold diamonds like humidity, they are also afraid of waterlogging. Especially in the low temperature environment in winter, if watering is too much, it will not only easily cause root rot due to the over-wet soil in the basin, but also easily cause freezing damage, which is not conducive to the health and safe overwintering of plants. Therefore, to maintain at this time, it is necessary to appropriately reduce watering. Watering can follow the principle of seeing dry and seeing wet, and try to keep the soil slightly wet to avoid long-term water accumulation in the basin.
And water in winter, as far as possible in the sunny morning, the water temperature should be close to room temperature, so as to avoid excessive temperature difference and damage to the roots of plants; If the indoor air is particularly dry, you can often spray lukewarm water around leaves and plants at noon on a sunny day to increase air humidity, clean leaves and relieve dryness. When the room temperature is low at night, try to keep the leaves dry, so as not to evaporate water in time, and the low temperature and humidity will lead to leaf rot.
Fourth, no fertilization at low temperature.
After winter, due to the slow growth and metabolism of plants and the limited ability of roots to absorb fertilizer and water, fertilization is generally not recommended, especially when the room temperature is lower than 15 degrees, various forms of topdressing should be prohibited to avoid increasing the burden on roots, causing fertilizer damage and burning roots and seedlings at low temperature. In addition, diamonds like a well-ventilated growth environment, so they should be maintained in winter. When the temperature is high at noon on a sunny day, it can be properly opened for ventilation to strengthen indoor and outdoor air circulation and reduce the breeding of germs.
V. Conventional "acid"
In addition, Golden Diamond likes slightly acidic soil, and the soil quality and water quality in the north are mostly weakly alkaline. If it is kept in alkaline environment for a long time, it is prone to yellowing, wilting and poor growth, and even leads to the death of the whole plant in serious cases. Therefore, in winter maintenance, it is necessary to water the soil with some acid water regularly to balance the acidity and alkalinity of the soil, prevent the soil from hardening and improve the plant yellow leaf disease.
Keep gold diamonds at home in winter. As long as you do these things well, the greener the leaves, the more you raise, the more prosperous your home will be!
