How to raise peacock wood

Raising peacock wood should pay attention to temperature, light, watering, fertilization, pruning and pest control. Among them, watering should adhere to the principle of dry and wet, while fertilization is mainly based on plain fertilizer and thin cake fertilizer, which is determined according to the growth situation. Let's take a look at the detailed introduction of malachite farming.

How to raise peacock wood?

1. Temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of malachite is 18-28 ℃, 20-28 ℃ from April to October and 13-20 ℃ from October to April of the following year. In winter, it is necessary to do a good job in preventing cold and keeping warm, ensuring that the ambient temperature is not lower than 10 degrees; in summer, shading and cooling, properly spraying water on the leaf surface and the surrounding environment, has achieved the effect of cooling and humidification.

two。 Light

Peacock wood is a light-loving plant, which generally has bright light near the window in spring and autumn, and should avoid strong light in summer. But also be careful not to leave it in the dark for a long time.

3. Watering

Sufficient water supply is required in spring and autumn, but watering should be dry and wet, and watering should be more frequent in seedling stage; in late autumn and early winter, when the temperature drops to 10-13 ℃, plants stop growing and enter dormancy, so watering should be controlled. In addition, the water temperature should be consistent with the indoor temperature or basin soil temperature.

4. Fertilizer application

In the growing season of malachite, thin cake fertilizer can be applied every 20 days, and fertilization should be suspended in midsummer when the temperature is more than 30 ℃. After topdressing 1-2 times of low concentration of available phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in autumn, fertilization should be stopped in the dormant period in winter.

5. Pruning and pest control

For the malachite plants that are too weak, re-pruning can be carried out when the new leaves germinate, leaving about 10 cm at the base, such as the dry upper branches should also be strongly cut to promote the development of branches and leaves. At the same time, attention should be paid to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests such as leaf spot, anthrax, shell insects and red spiders.

The above is the full introduction of peacock wood culture, generally pay attention to the above a few points are not afraid of its growth.
