To grow and care for Radermachera sinica ‘Golden’ well, focus on steady conditions—this plant dislikes sudden changes.

Light

• Give it bright, indirect light.

Watering

• Keep the soil lightly moist, not soggy.
• Water when the top 1–3 cm of soil feels dry.
• Always use a pot with drainage holes.
• Don’t let water collect in the saucer—roots can rot easily.

Soil

  • regular potting soil + perlite + a little compost/coco peat
• Repot every 1–2 years if rootbound.

Temperature & Humidity

• Best range: 18–26°C.
• Keep above 15°C.
• Protect from cold drafts, AC blasts, and dry heat.
• Likes moderate humidity (around 50%+):
  • mist lightly sometimes,
  • use a pebble tray,
  • or keep near other plants.

Feeding

  • every 2–4 weeks in spring/summer
  • half-strength is safer
