Culture methods and matters needing attention of threaded iron (Philippine iron tree)

Threaded iron, also known as spiral iron, willow iron, rolled leaf iron and so on, is a tropical evergreen shrub, can absorb indoor formaldehyde and other harmful gases, is an ideal indoor green plant. So, what are the breeding methods and matters needing attention for threaded iron? Let's get to know it together.

I. growth habits of threaded iron

Threaded iron is cold-resistant 10 degrees, sex likes high temperature, humid, half-day shade environment, threaded iron likes high humidity and high temperature environment, suitable planting temperature is between 20 and 30 degrees, it does not require high sunshine, and it can keep green buds and tender leaves under indirect light, and the leaves are flat and long, like banana leaves, which is smaller than it, so it is especially suitable for indoor cultivation and decoration, suitable for planting in culture soil, and can also be used in sandy loam with good drainage.

Second, the culture method of threaded iron

1. First of all, we have to prepare the matrix for planting threaded iron. We can use loose, drained and ventilated imported peat of 5-40mm specification, mix the peat with water, and plant it on a cup. Generally speaking, the peat consumption in each basin of 14cm basin is about 400ml, and a packet of 300L imported peat can hold about 750cups.

2, 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, etc., on the basin generally with a caliber for 14cm specification pot planting, planting first in the cup bottom cushion 2cm around the matrix, and then move the seedlings into the cup, seedling planting should not be too deep, it is appropriate to flat plant base, medium loose and tight, loaded to the cup 9 minutes full.

3, the rest is the usual maintenance, threaded iron is easy to breed, do not need to spend too much thought, threaded iron for water demand is not very big, generally watering to see dry and wet is appropriate, threaded iron growth is slow, the demand for fertilizer is relatively small, just 3 to 4 months before planting because the root system is underdeveloped, generally water soluble fertilizer can be irrigated once half a month, if the amount of fertilizer is large, it is not conducive to the growth of threaded iron.

Matters needing attention in culturing threaded iron

The main results are as follows: 1. The demand for water of threaded iron is not very large, and it is generally suitable to be watered dry and wet, but not too frequently, especially in autumn and winter, which is easy to cause root rot and is not conducive to the growth of threaded iron.

2. The fertilizer of threaded iron can spend more than 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer. in addition, threaded iron itself grows slowly, and the demand for fertilizer is relatively small, so it is not necessary to apply fertilizer frequently, we just need to wait patiently.

3. Three months before planting, because the root system is underdeveloped and the nutrient absorption is less, generally watering the flower once half a month is 2000 times as much as 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer. If the amount of fertilizer and water is large, it is not conducive to growth, and the new leaves will wrinkle and expand.

4. 4-5 months after threaded iron planting, the plant grows larger and the root system is relatively well developed. at this time, the ability of root system to absorb nutrients is enhanced, and the amount of fertilizer can be slightly increased. Generally, watering flowers every half a month is 1000 times more than 20-20 water-soluble fertilizer. It can meet the needs of the growth of reamed iron.

The above are the breeding methods and matters needing attention of the threaded iron arranged by the editor. I hope I can help you!
