How to water the unicorn palm (how often) how to fertilize the unicorn palm

As a kind of plant grown in desert area, watering is a very important problem. On the one hand, the water demand of unicorn palm with desert life experience must be small, but after the change of planting environment, unicorn palm may also have some habit changes, so this article will be an important reference for unicorn breeding.

How to water the palm of the unicorn

1. New basin

The new plants will be watered with root water once, and then the operation should be determined according to its actual situation, about every 2 to 3 days, but the amount of water should not be too large.

2. Summer and autumn

Summer and autumn are the most vigorous seasons for its growth, but it is relatively drought-resistant, so it can not be watered too much, and it can follow the principle of being dry and thoroughly watered; if you encounter overcast and rainy weather, it is necessary to delay watering. Do not keep the soil in a moist state for a long time, otherwise it is easy to cause its roots to rot, and in serious cases it will lead to the death of the whole plant. Too much watering will make the plant grow too much, which is not only bad for its appearance, but also disadvantageous to its healthy growth.

3. Winter and spring

Its ability to keep out the cold is poor, so it is generally raised indoors in winter, and the temperature should be kept above 15 degrees. If the temperature drops to 12 degrees, it will enter a dormant period. At this time, it will reduce the amount of water, or even stop watering. Keep the soil dry, and then wait until the spring temperature gradually picks up, returning to normal watering. If the temperature can be controlled between 15 and 18 degrees in winter, watering can be carried out every 10 days.

How to fertilize the palm of Kylin

In fact, the unicorn palm does not like fertilizer, so it is necessary to apply less fertilizer under any circumstances, and the concentration of fertilizer must be light.

When the winter temperature drops below 12 degrees, it is necessary to stop fertilization and return to normal fertilization only when the temperature returns to 20 degrees. At the end of autumn, the temperature is close to the winter temperature, and fertilization can be suspended at this time. When the summer temperature is higher than 30 degrees, it will enter a dormant period, and fertilization should be suspended at this time. Fertilization can be resumed when the temperature drops to 22 degrees.

Daily maintenance only needs to be fertilized once a month, fertilizer can not be too thick, it is easy to lead to root rot.

Cuttage Propagation of Kirin Palm

1. Select cuttings

In May-June, it is necessary to cut the growing and full stem segment as cuttings; after cutting it, it should be dried first, and then inserted into Su Shao after the drying wound has shrunk slightly. Do not water cuttings that have just been inserted into plain sand, because if you water them immediately after insertion, the stem will rot from the bottom up. So be sure to spray water after 2-3 days.

2. Upper basin

When going into the basin, the prepared basin soil should be mixed and used according to the vegetable garden soil, rotten stable manure soil, river sand and so on; when planting, put a layer of slag or coarse sand on the bottom of the flowerpot, so as to facilitate drainage and avoid stagnant water to rot the roots and affect the growth of the plant. Watering thoroughly after putting on the basin, remember to put it in the shade for a week, and immediately move to a place of weak light after a week, so that it can be gradually moved to a strong light, which can make the plant adapt to the changing environment and promote growth and development; the unicorn palm is more drought-resistant, so watering does not need to be watered, just water the basin soil when it is dry.

3. Growth temperature

The most suitable temperature for the growth of unicorn palm is 22-28 ℃, higher or lower than this degree, it will make the unicorn palm dormancy or affect growth, so we should pay attention to winter heat preservation measures, as long as the temperature above 7 ℃ can safely survive the winter.

The growth habit of Kylin Palm

The suitable temperature for the growth of unicorn palm is 22-28 ℃. If the temperature is above 35 ℃, it will go into dormancy and all the leaves will fall off. Should not light too overcast and exposure, like semi-overcast. More hardy,-10 ℃ environment, can maintain normal growth for half a month. It can be planted in the courtyard in warm areas and potted plants in cold areas.

Generally speaking, the unicorn palm is a kind of plant that is easy to grow. Generally speaking, after a period of planting, a certain planting tacit understanding will be formed between the person and the unicorn palm, so it will be much easier to observe and maintain the unicorn palm.
