What if the length of the thread iron is too high? how to prune the branches and leaves?

When it comes to threaded iron, there may be many friends who don't know much about this plant. Threaded iron, also known as Liuwen Iron, Philippine Iron Tree, etc., is a particularly beautiful tropical evergreen shrub. Its leaves are flat and long like banana leaves, but smaller than banana leaves, so it is especially suitable for indoor decoration. But the thread iron of some flower friends is too high, seriously affecting the overall beauty, what should be done?

What if the length of the thread iron is too high?

Like other similar plants, such as Brazilian iron and Yemeni iron, threaded iron is very resistant to pruning. You can trim it at the right height (you decide, but preferably where the Lignification is sufficient), but prevent Rain Water from falling on the cross section before sprouting new buds and watering, otherwise it will cause rot!

How to trim branches and leaves with threaded iron

When you trim the threaded iron, you actually cut off the roots that have already been part of the branches and leaves. Before planting, the root of the threaded iron can be trimmed properly to cut off what is rotten and what is broken. Branches and leaves also need to be pruned properly, which can be cut off by 1/3 or 1/2, so that the transpiration of the plant will be reduced and it will be easier to survive.

Secondly, when trimming the threaded iron, we also need to maintain its basic tree shape, so as to facilitate future modeling, if the pruning is too strong, it may not make the plant shape beautiful.

What if the threaded iron leaves turn yellow?

1. Poor threaded iron plants lead to yellowing of leaves.

In the cultivation of threaded iron, it is very important to choose good plants. If you accidentally choose the threaded iron that is not growing well, it may cause the leaves to turn yellow. When choosing threaded iron, choose healthier growth, stronger branches, and then no damage to the leaves or yellow leaves, better.

2. The growth environment of threaded iron leads to the yellowing of leaves.

When raising threaded iron, the unsuitable growth environment is also an important reason for the yellowing of threaded iron leaves.

Threaded iron likes a high-temperature, humid and semi-overcast growth environment. When breeding, it is necessary to meet these environmental needs of threaded iron, such as too low temperature, or sun exposure, and so on. It will cause the threaded iron leaves to turn yellow and wither and the leaf tip to turn yellow.

3. Long-term stagnant water in threaded iron flowerpots leads to yellowing of leaves.

When raising threaded iron, it is necessary to maintain a moist environment, so some people can't help watering it hard, which is likely to lead to stagnant water in the threaded iron flowerpot for a long time, and the roots can not breathe, making it rotten rot. it will cause its leaves to turn yellow. Therefore, when raising threaded iron, we must reasonably water it, pay attention to drainage, and observe the growth of threaded iron at any time to avoid the phenomenon of rotten roots.

Culture method of threaded iron

First of all, we should prepare the substrate for planting threaded iron. We can use loose, drained and ventilated imported peat of Pinpoint 5-40mm specification, mix the peat with water and wait for planting in a cup. The peat consumption in each basin of the 14cm basin is about 400ml, and a packet of 300L imported peat can hold about 750cups.

Then select the professional production of high-quality seedlings, seedling height 11cm, crown width 7-8cm, no diseases and insect pests, no withered leaves, yellow leaves and so on. Generally use 14cm size basin planting when planting, first in the bottom of the cup cushion 2cm about the matrix, and then move the sieve seedlings into the cup, seedling planting should not be too deep, with flat plant base is appropriate; medium tightness, loaded to the cup 9 minutes full.

The rest is ordinary maintenance, the demand for water of threaded iron is not very great, it is generally appropriate to water dry and wet; the growth of threaded iron is slow, and the demand for fertilizer is relatively small, just 3 to 4 months before planting, because the root system is underdeveloped, usually water soluble fertilizer can be irrigated once every half a month, if the amount of fertilizer is large, it is not conducive to the growth of threaded iron.

To sum up, the leaves of threaded iron are unique and beautiful, evergreen all the seasons, and have a certain ornamental value. At the same time, they can also remove formaldehyde and purify the air, which are deeply loved and sought after by flower friends. Friends who like it can raise a pot at home as a decorative plant.
