How to grow golden echinops

Adequate lighting

Adequate light is the biggest help in growing healthy and beautiful golden barrel cactus. When there is plenty of sunlight, the golden barrel cactus will grow more vigorously and have brighter colors. Basically, the structure of the entire sphere of the golden barrel cactus will produce different effects because the surface and the top of the sphere are affected by different degrees of light, making the photosynthetic effects of different parts of the golden barrel cactus different.

However, the influence of light is not always positive. Sometimes, under the influence of strong light, the lower half of the sphere of the golden barrel cactus may have gone dormant, but the top of the plant is still growing. At this time, the growth of the plant will become deformed and grow into a gourd shape, reducing its ornamental value.

Cover with plastic film

If you want to make the ball of the golden barrel cactus more beautiful, you need to take some measures in the summer to prevent it from growing into a gourd.

When the temperature is high in summer, you can cover the top growth section with a round plastic film. This film can inhibit the growth of the top of the golden barrel cactus, change its top growth environment, and make the top hairs brighter and denser.

In addition, this method can also balance the humidity of the growth of the golden barrel cactus, making the sphere round.

Taking other measures

Another method is to frequently rotate the flowerpot of the golden barrel cactus so that the entire golden barrel cactus can be evenly exposed to sunlight while growing, which can prevent it from growing crooked.

During the growth period, it is necessary to maintain sufficient water and apply fertilizer regularly so that the golden barrel cactus will have sufficient nutrients and grow healthily and beautifully.
