Daily maintenance of Brazilian wood

1. Placement position

Brazilian wood needs bright light all the year round, with at least three hours of direct sunlight every day.

2. Fertilization

Organic fertilizer can be buried at the base or edge, and then liquid organic and inorganic mixed fertilizer (urea or potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution) can be applied half a month later. Extra-root topdressing can be carried out during the growing period, and leaves can be sprayed with 100 times diluted nutrient solution, once every half month. The amount of fertilizer applied in winter can be halved or stopped. The application of nitrogen fertilizer should not be too much, otherwise the golden markings of leaves are not obvious, which will affect the ornamental effect.

3. Watering

Brazilian wood needs less water, it is generally watered about once every 10 days, and the basin soil can be kept at semi-dry and semi-wet. You should not water too much to prevent the tree trunk from rotting. In addition, in the north, due to the dry climate, should often spray water to the leaves and the surrounding ground, improve the surrounding air humidity, in order to facilitate the growth of Brazilian wood.

4. Temperature, light

The suitable temperature for Brazilian wood growth is 20-30 ℃. Winter can pass the winter when the temperature is more than 10 ℃, the growth will stop when the temperature is too low, and chloasma will appear on the leaf tip and leaf edge. Brazilian wood prefers shade and grows well in bright scattered light. Avoid direct light in summer and keep it in a cool place.

In autumn and winter, just put it in a sunny place indoors. When the light is too little, the leaves of Brazilian wood will be grayish green and the stripes are not clear, and the basal leaves will yellowing, especially the variegated leaf species will become lighter or disappear under the condition of low light for a long time, thus losing the ornamental value.

5. Disease and pest control

There are few diseases and insect pests in Brazil, but the incidence is relatively high in recent years, which is mainly caused by moth pests from the origin hidden in the branches. Plants will be eroded by diseases and insect pests, such as loose bark, shedding leaves and so on.

Insecticides can be sprayed on plant branches and then covered with plastic paper to suffocate eggs or larvae. You can also peel off some of the bark, pick out pests, and then spray drugs to prevent spread. Tobacco extract can also be sprayed. In addition, attention should be paid to keeping the leaf surface clean and properly ventilated to improve the environment.
