According to the culture method of Meimei iron, it is suitable to apply thin fertilizer in semi-dry and semi-wet.

Soil: it is necessary to choose sandy soil with good drainage. Temperature: the most suitable growth temperature is about 10-33 ℃, and the overwintering temperature should be higher than 5 ℃. Humidity: ambient humidity is controlled at 60%, 70%. Moisture: half-dry and half-wet is suitable. Lighting: suitable for indoor with plenty of light, but not resistant to strong light. Fertility: it is appropriate to apply thin fertilizer, avoid thick fertilizer.

The beautiful iron plant is an indoor foliage plant, which is suitable for display in the living room and study. At present, it is widely propagated in the north and south of China, especially in Guangdong, Fujian and other places in South China. The culture methods of Meimei are as follows:

1. Soil

Planting beauty iron is suitable for sandy soil with strong drainage and rich humus. Sandy soil has good drainage and is beneficial to plant root respiration. Pot culture can use vegetable garden soil, rotten leaf soil, peat soil, river sand according to the ratio of 4 to 2, or find pond sediment to dry and mash it, and mix it with coarse river sand at 2:1 to form culture soil. Beautiful iron with thick roots can be mixed with coconut bran, peat soil or vegetable garden soil and river sand to make culture soil.

2. Temperature

Meitai is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient light, dry and ventilated, and likes high temperature but not direct sunlight. It has strong adaptability to light, can be continuously decorated for more than a month in dark rooms, and can be decorated for a long time in brightly lit rooms. The suitable temperature for growth is 10-33 ℃, the temperature during dormancy is about 13 ℃, and the overwintering temperature must be higher than 5 ℃.

3. Humidity

Pay attention to ventilating the beauty iron and keep the ambient humidity between 60% and 70%. If the humidity is too high, it is easy to develop leaf spot.

4. Moisture

Beauty iron has a low demand for water, and it is generally suitable for semi-dry and semi-wet. During the growing period, it can be watered once a day except in winter, the water consumption is less, and too much watering will lead to root rot and scorched leaves. Appropriate reduction of watering can not only improve its cold resistance, but also enhance soil permeability. The high temperature in summer can spray water to the leaves for 1-2 times, and the amount of water can be controlled in autumn and winter to keep the basin soil moist.

5. Lighting

Beauty iron is adaptable to light, but not resistant to strong light, so it should be placed in a room with sufficient light or built a sunshade. The light should not be too strong and too dark, the strong light will lead to the yellowing and scorching of the leaves, and the shade will reduce the ornamental value of the leaves. The healthy beauty iron can be decorated continuously for about a month in the dark room, and the brightly lit interior can be decorated for a long time.

6. Fatness

In the early stage of planting, the root growth is not stable enough, and the growth period is controlled to apply liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer once or twice in half a month to ensure the luxuriant growth of branches and leaves. It is appropriate to apply thin fertilizer, avoid thick fertilizer, too much fertilizer and water, the new leaves will shrink and not open. The old plant for many years every 7 days, stopped fertilizing after September, stopped fertilizing in winter, and moved indoors for the winter.
