How to breed yellow worm

soil

To plant yellow amaranth in potted plants, you need to choose suitable soil, loose, fertile sandy soil will do. You can also use a mixture of leaf mold and coarse sand to make the medium, which needs to have good drainage.

Light and temperature

Huang Weng likes a warm and sunny environment. It is cold-resistant and can also tolerate partial shade. During the growth period of the yellow gentian, sufficient light must be ensured to make the golden thorns on the ball bright and colorful. It should be noted that when there is strong sunlight in the summer, shade is needed to avoid burning the ball of the yellow thorn plant. However, the shading time should not be too long, otherwise the color of the thorns will fade. The suitable temperature for growth is maintained between 15℃ and 25℃. It can withstand temperatures below 0℃ in winter, but in order for the yellow amaranth to grow better, the wintering temperature needs to be kept at around 10℃, not lower than 5℃.

Watering and fertilizing

The yellow gentian has a high tolerance to drought and prefers a drier environment with relatively low air humidity. Watering should be moderate, generally once a week, and watering should be thorough. However, Huang Weng is afraid of water accumulation, so it is generally watered after the surface of the potting soil becomes dry. Ensure that the soil has a certain level of fertility and fertilize once a month during the growing season.
