Can gold marbles be kept indoors?
Golden marble likes warm, humid and sunny environment, and has a little tolerance to semi-shade, drought and cold. Because golden marbles are dioecious plants, attention should be paid to the collocation of female and male plants when planting, so as to pollinate and bear fruit. Although male plants can't bear fruit, their roots are gorgeous, their leaves are dark green and bright, their colors are elegant and their fragrance is rich, so they are often used as bonsai. During the growing period, it should be maintained in a sunny and well-ventilated place outdoors. Insufficient light will affect the fruit setting, so water it often to keep the basin soil moist, but it is not suitable for long time to accumulate water. When the weather is hot or the air is dry, water should also be sprinkled to increase the air humidity, which is beneficial to plant growth. Apply decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer once a month, pay attention to the reasonable collocation of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the fertilizer solution, and topdressing organic liquid fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer twice a year from July to August to promote fruit expansion and bright color. Golden marbles have strong germination ability, and new branches and buds sprouted on the roots can be pulled out at any time during the growth period, so as not to affect the tree shape and consume too much nutrients. Overwintering in outdoor shelter from wind and sun in southern areas, and overwintering in cold rooms above 0℃ in northern areas, with proper watering control. At the beginning of March every year, after all the fruits are picked, the plants are pruned and reshaped, and the dead branches, disease and insect branches, twigs, over-dense branches, overlapping branches and messy branches that affect the tree shape are shortened to keep the bonsai beautiful and facilitate the germination and growth of new buds. Change the pot every 2 to 3 years, mostly in spring. When changing pots, remove the permanent soil of 1/2, cut off rotten roots and long old roots to promote the growth of new roots, and plant with new culture soil. Potted soil should be neutral or slightly acidic soil with rich humus, loose fertility and good drainage and air permeability. Put some decomposed cake fertilizer, livestock manure or broken bones at the bottom of the pot. So it is ok to put it in the house, but it should also be exposed to the sun!
