Why did your fir leaf banyan die?

Qin Ye Banyan is one of the most popular green plants of online celebrities around the world, named for its huge leaves shaped like a cello, coupled with its tall and upright trunk, it is photogenic and photographed for 100 points. To use the most popular words to describe it, that Qin Ye Rong is the green plant C position of everyone's pick!

But fans who have really raised Qin Ye Rong will know that Qin Ye Bong is famous for being "good-looking, but difficult to raise", which easily allows you to experience "the fun of harvesting empty pots." In fact, these are all misunderstandings. The fir is a very strong plant, and it can grow luxuriantly by the roadside in many southern cities. Then why did your fir-leaf banyan die? The main reason is that you don't know enough about it.

Now that pick has Qin Ye Rong, you have to know the habits of your idol first. Banyan is native to the relatively low tropical rain forest in Southeast Asia. It lives in 25 ℃ ~ 35 ℃, Rain Water and sunny environment all the year round, which makes it afraid of cold, dry and dark.

When we take care of Qin Ye Banyan at home, we must place it in a well-ventilated position where the sun shines for more than 4 hours every day, usually on the south-facing balcony or by the floor-to-ceiling window. Watering in time to keep the soil moist, a relatively dry area like Beijing can also put a basin of water on the edge of the basin to improve the air humidity around the banyan.

Why did your fir-leaf banyan die? The answer to this question is generally because we provide the wrong conservation environment for Qin Ye Banyan at home.

-cause of death 1: environmental mutation-

After we buy banyan leaves from the flower market or online and put them at home, the conservation environment of banyan leaves will often undergo a drastic change, such as lighting, ventilation, temperature and humidity. If the difference is too large, the banyan will appear stress response to protect itself, the most common is due to lack of light and too dry, the phenomenon of falling leaves, in this way to reduce nutrient consumption for their own life.

How to solve this problem: put the seedlings in a position where the sun shines directly for 1: 2 hours every day and the seedlings are well ventilated, and when the plants resume growth (grow new leaves), the seedlings will be successful. At this time, put the banyan leaves in a more sunny position (direct sunlight for more than 4 hours), the growth will be faster.

-cause of death 2: Yin death-

The reason why Qin leaf banyan evolved huge leaves is to get more sunshine in the competition between tropical rain forest and other plants, which is why it can give everyone a sense of prosperity.

Therefore, the fir leaf banyan is a kind of plant that likes light very much. Only with enough light can it grow healthily. On the Internet, there are a lot of materials boasting about the negative tolerance of Qin Ye Banyan. Although it helps Qin Ye Banyan to secure the green plant C position, it really doesn't know enough about Qin Ye Banyan. If you meet the florist again and tell you that Qinye Rong is very shady, please sneer and calmly turn your head and leave.

How to solve it: keep the banyan leaves in direct sunlight for more than 4 hours a day and maintain them in a well-ventilated position.

Cause of death 3: dry to death

At the beginning of the introduction of the country of origin, I told you that Qin Ye Banyan lives in Rain Water's abundant tropical rain forest. So it is actually a kind of plant that likes moist very much, the soil needs to keep moist for a long time, spring and summer are the growing season, especially need to pay attention to timely watering, grow slowly in winter, can appropriately reduce the frequency of watering and avoid rotting roots. The root system of Qin leaf banyan is relatively sensitive, and it is easy to lose leaves after a while, so it is better to be wet than dry. As long as the basin floor is well drained, there is no need to worry too much about rotting roots.

Banyan leaves also have higher requirements for air humidity than ordinary plants, preferably more than 80%. When turning on air conditioning or heating, it is best to put a basin of water next to the plant, which can effectively improve the local humidity around the plant.

Cause of death 4: cold to death

Qin Ye Banyan is native to Southeast Asia, with warm seasons, sunshine and sand, as well as Dongyin Gong and citronella grilled shrimp, a cold resort! Therefore, Qin-leaf banyan is also very afraid of the cold, it is easy to fall into dormancy when less than 15 ℃, and freeze to death below 5 ℃, which is the main reason why it can be used as a street tree in many southern cities, but rarely seen in northern cities.

Therefore, in addition to areas where winter is also very warm in Guangdong and Guangdong, Fujian and Yunnan, it is best for other partners to get Qin leaf banyan when it is relatively warm in spring and summer. after cooling in autumn and winter, pay attention to the position with heating and sunshine for maintenance (usually by the indoor floor-to-ceiling window).

-cause of death 5: death from illness-

The most common disease of banyan banyan is banyan banyan rot (popular point can also be called leaf spot). Generally, it first infects the leaves, and after the leaves are infected, there are water spots, which will gradually expand and turn brown, which will affect the growth of fallen leaves and eventually spread to the whole plant.

Banyan banyan rot is most likely to occur when it is hot and not ventilated. If you find this symptom in the fir leaf banyan at home, you must be treated with fungicides in time, otherwise it will be cold when it spreads to the whole plant. If you do not like it or it is not convenient to administer medicine, you can also use medical cotton dipped in alcohol to wipe the diseased leaves, and then wash it with clean water to avoid alcohol damage to the plant.

Of course, the best control method is to provide a sunny and well-ventilated conservation environment for Qin Ye Banyan, which is a temporary cure.
