How to cultivate dieffenbachia dieffenbachia cultivation methods and precautions

If any plant does not follow the law of plant growth, there will be only one final result, that is, previous efforts will be in vain. Evergreen is a relatively easy to raise plants, but there are still many technical means and growth laws that we need to follow in planting evergreen.

How to raise evergreen flowers and leaves

Evergreen flowers and leaves are native to South America and Brazil. Like warm, moist and semi-overcast environment. Not resistant to cold, afraid of drought, avoid strong light exposure.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of evergreen flowers and leaves

1. Change the pots of evergreen flowers and leaves

Changing the basin at the right time usually needs to be changed once in October. When changing the basin, the senescent rhizome and persistent withered leaves should be removed and planted with 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 1 part of peat and 1 part of sand. After watering thoroughly, keep it in the shade for a few days and move it into the greenhouse or indoors.

2. Watering of evergreen flowers and leaves

Scientifically watered flowers and leaves are always in a high-humidity environment, and the pot soil overwintering in winter should be dry and wet, not too dry. If the basin soil is too dry, the leaf tip will be yellow and scorched, withered, and even the whole plant will wither. The main reason is that the root system can not absorb water. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the air moist and the basin soil moist in winter. Generally, it is appropriate to water once a week, and it is necessary to wash the leaves with warm water to keep the leaves bright.

3. Temperature and light of evergreen flowers and leaves

The flowers and leaves are always hot and afraid of cold, and they will move indoors for the winter in October. The temperature should be kept at about 15 ℃. Adequate light and good ventilation are required. When the temperature is lower than 10 ℃ or too wet, the leaves often fall, or even the top of the stem fades; too weak light will cause the leaves to fade. Usually use a soft cloth to scrub the leaves to remove dust and increase ornamental.

4. Fertilization method of evergreen.

Fertilization is usually applied once a month during the growing period of evergreen leaves, especially nitrogen fertilizer, which can promote its rapid growth. Fertilizer and water are applied every two weeks from March to August, and fertilization is reduced after autumn.

5. Disease and pest control of evergreen flowers and leaves

To raise evergreen flowers and leaves in winter, we should also do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. The main diseases are leaf spot and anthracnose. In addition to paying attention to ventilation and light transmission and the basin soil should not be too wet, it can be sprayed with 0.5 to 1% Bordeaux solution or 70% topiramate 1500 times solution.

The pest is mainly brown soft scale, which can be controlled by scraping or spraying with 1000 times omethoate EC.

The method of ramet propagation of evergreen

The reproduction method of flower and leaf evergreen includes ramet propagation, using the germination and tillering at the base of the plant for ramet, which is usually in spring, combined with changing pots. When operating, remove the plant from the inside of the basin, cut off the rhizome of its stem, apply plant ash to prevent decay, put it in a cool and ventilated place, wait for the wound to dry and heal before transplanting, water thoroughly after planting, but should not water too much afterwards. The growth can be restored in about 10 days.

What if the leaves of evergreen flowers and leaves are soft?

I. drought

The first reason for the softening of this plant is drought, which is also a common problem in other plants. The most prominent feature is that the softening starts from the top, accompanied by withering and yellowing. This kind of treatment is the simplest, which is to replenish water in time and sprinkle water on leaves at the same time, which will have a better effect. However, when the temperature is too high, using too cold water can be counterproductive.

2. Dampness

Some people may say that I watered, and watered a lot, why this is still the case, in fact, the problem is very simple, is too much watering. Everything has a suitable amount, neither less nor more, because with more watering, there is not much air in the soil, and the roots of the plants will be hurt. In this case, first of all, loosen the soil and breathe, and replace part of the wet soil. After this treatment, it won't take long, and your plant will recover in about a week.

III. Infiltration

If you think it is caused by too little fertilization, you must be careful, on the contrary, you fertilize too much. Because when there is too much fertilizer in the soil, the infiltration will increase, and the plants will be short of water. First of all, you can wash the basin soil with a lot of water and discharge it in time, or remove part of the soil and add some normal soil. In order to save plants in time, we should also spray water to the leaves and replenish them with a certain amount of water in time, so as to ensure the normal growth of evergreen.

Generally speaking, we manage plants according to the right way of conservation and then closely monitor the growth of plants, and often we receive generous returns from plants. The same is true of planting evergreen. If you master the techniques and methods of planting, you can basically ensure the normal growth of evergreen.
