What if the Brazilian wood is too tall?

If your Brazilian wood is too tall, it will need to be pruned. Brazilian wood belongs to the evergreen tree of Liliaceae. The height can reach more than six meters. after potted plants, it is recommended that we should apply less fertilization. if fertilizing too much, it will probably lead to the growth of Brazilian wood too high, which is not conducive to indoor pot soil cultivation, and is not suitable for ornamental and conservation.

Cutting Propagation method of Brazilian Wood

1. Columnar cutting method

Choose the trunk with a diameter of 6 cm to 10 cm for cutting, or more than 10 cm, but to keep the trunk fresh, the color of the skin should be light yellow, and the soil should be about 30 cm deep. The substrate should be disinfected before cutting. The depth of the trunk inserted into the soil is about 10 cm to 25 cm, which can be adjusted according to the firmness of the trunk. If the height of the trunk of the cutting reaches more than 1 meter, it can be fixed with other main styles in order to make the cutting firm.

When cutting, it is necessary to maintain the moisture and elegance of the soil, and at the same time to avoid the sun before and after noon. After cutting, it should be watered in time. New buds can be seen in about a month. When the new buds grow to 5 cm to 10 cm high, they can be planted.

2. The method of twig cutting.

This method can be combined with plant pruning, and the pruned branches can be cutted. when the plant grows to a certain height, it is necessary to cut off some of the high branches for cutting.

Before cutting, the branches should be trimmed to a suitable length, and all kinds of soil container tools should also be disinfected before cutting to avoid causing branch diseases. When cutting, you can choose to cut horizontally and vertically, and new roots can grow in about a month at a temperature of 25 to 30 degrees.

How to cultivate Brazilian wood in water

Take the soil-grown Brazilian wood out of the soil, then wash the soil on the roots, and then cut off some of the miscellaneous roots. After cutting, leave the Brazilian wood in a ventilated place to dry, which helps to heal the cut.

In the drying time, you can prepare water basin Brazilian wood utensils, to choose the appropriate large and depth utensils. It is best to put some goose warm stone on the bottom, which can contribute to the development of aquatic roots. However, put the dried Brazilian wood inside and add some water at room temperature.

What if the leaves of Brazilian wood turn yellow?

1. Alkalinity of soil and water

Brazilian wood is suitable for growing in slightly acidic soil, and if the acidity and alkalinity of the soil is not suitable, the leaves are likely to turn yellow. In view of this situation, it is suggested that we should choose suitable soil when planting and alleviate it by watering some special fertilizer.

2. Overwatering

Brazilian wood has higher requirements for ambient air humidity, but it does not mean that water demand is also high. if the amount of water is not well controlled in the daily nursing process, resulting in stagnant water, it will also make the leaves of Brazilian wood yellow. In view of this situation, the best way to solve the problem is to control the amount of water and pay attention to ventilation to maintain the permeability of the soil.

3. Lack of light

Brazilian wood likes the sun, and many people put it in a bad light position in order to enjoy it indoors. in this case, it is possible in the short term, and if it takes too long, it will also cause the leaves of Brazilian wood to turn yellow. So after a period of time, put the Brazilian wood in a sunny place for maintenance, and then move back after a period of time.

4. Poor ventilation

If the leaves of Brazilian wood grow luxuriantly, coupled with the fact that they have not been trimmed for a long time, it will lead to the problem of insufficient light in the internal branches and leaves. At this time, we should trim the branches and leaves in time, fertilize them, and take careful care. It will be all right after a while.

Brazilian wood is generally propagated by cuttings, which allows it to grow quickly, and it is not easy to plant Brazilian wood well, in addition to watering and fertilizing it, giving it timely light, and preventing some of its common diseases, otherwise you can only see the withered Brazilian wood.
