Breeding methods and matters needing attention of Hawaiian coconut

Hawaiian coconut is a plant growing in Mexico, Guatemala and other places. It is easy to think of sunshine, sand and delicious Hawaiian fruit, but this plant can not be eaten and is afraid of direct sunlight. Therefore, it can be planted at home as a foliage plant. The following pro-agricultural network will introduce the breeding methods and matters needing attention of this kind of plant.

I. Culture methods

1. Soil

It generally likes to grow in loose and fertile soil, so when selecting soil, it must meet this requirement. We can use some humus soil, garden soil and so on, mix them together, and then add some organic fertilizer, so that after mixing well, it can be used as a substrate for culture.

two。 Temperature

Hawaiian coconut originally lives in warm places, so it prefers to grow in warm places. Generally speaking, the most suitable temperature is 20 degrees. In winter, the temperature must be kept above 10 in order not to affect growth. Of course, it also has a little bit of cold resistance, but it can only endure 0 degrees low temperature for a short time, so if you want it to survive the winter smoothly, it is best to adjust the maintenance temperature above 10 degrees, if not, at least keep it above 5 degrees.

3. Light

As mentioned earlier, although Hawaiian coconuts grow in warmer places, the plant itself is not resistant to direct sunlight and is more suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment. It can grow in darker places indoors for one to two months, and it won't affect the plants. Therefore, in the usual lighting, it can not be directly exposed to strong light, otherwise it will affect the leaves.

4. Moisture content

Hawaiian coconut is more suitable for the humid environment, especially during its growing period, it must be given enough water to make the basin soil moist. Although it likes to be wet, it should not be too wet, or it will make its roots fester. Then in winter, watering should be controlled to keep the soil dry, but not too dry, otherwise the leaves will become dull.

5. Fertilizer application

When Hawaiian coconuts grow, you need to apply nitrogen fertilizer once a month, and then in September, you need to stop applying nitrogen fertilizer, as long as you add phosphate fertilizer once or twice to help it survive the winter. Then in the winter, we will stop applying any fertilizer.

II. Points for attention

Hawaiian coconuts are easy to be plagued by diseases and insect pests in the environment of high temperature and high humidity. the more common diseases are downy mildew and black spot, and the pests are mainly red spiders and shell insects, which can be controlled by fungicides. Carbendazim or topiramate 1000 times solution is often used.

Hawaiian coconuts need to scatter sunlight and avoid direct sunlight on their leaves, so they are more suitable for growing at home. Hawaiian coconuts can grow in a dark environment for 1 to 2 months without much impact. Hawaiian coconut has the function of absorbing formaldehyde and other harmful gases, can be placed in the decorated room, but also can adjust indoor humidity, the decorated room is more suitable.
