The cultivation method of Brazil wood

1. Soil

Brazilian wood does not have high requirements for soil, and if you want to make it grow better, it is best to use loose, humus-containing and well-drained acidic soil.

2. Watering

During the growth of Brazilian wood, it is necessary to fully water the soil and keep the soil moist. Insufficient watering will lead to its poor growth. Watering must be thoroughly watered. After entering the autumn, we must control the amount of watering. In winter, we must reduce the amount of water or stop watering. If the amount of water is large, it will lead to root rot.

3. Lighting

Brazilian wood is very shady, it likes the sun, if the sun is not enough, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow, leaf markings will easily disappear, spring, autumn and winter to maintain sufficient sunlight, in summer to avoid being exposed to strong light, so as not to burn the leaves. In indoor farming, put it in a bright and sunny place.

4. Temperature

Brazilian wood growth needs 20-30 ℃ growth environment, if the temperature is suitable, the temperature should be controlled above 5 ℃ in winter, the leaf tip will appear chloasma if the temperature is too low; shade it properly when the summer temperature is high, and spray water around to reduce the temperature.

Culture methods of Brazilian wood

Brazilian wood is also called Brazilian iron tree, this is a very good indoor ornamental plant, now let's learn about the cultivation methods of Brazilian wood.

The cultivation method of Brazilian wood is a kind of plant produced in tropical Africa, which is very fond of sunshine. generally, we use Brazilian wood as a foliage plant, and we can tie three plants with different heights together. Then plant it in the basin, and wait for the Brazilian wood to grow leaves.

1. Requirements for soil quality

Brazilian wood likes to grow in some well-drained loose fertile sand river soil, which makes the roots of Brazilian wood particularly well developed and is usually planted with some river sand.

two。 Maintenance of Brazilian wood pair

1) the humidity requirement of Brazilian wood is not high, it is OK to be drenched with water once every three or four days, and the moisture in the root is moist but not dripping. Apply fertilizer again every six months, and change the new plate once a year, using 1/3 of the old soil, plus 2 big 3 of the new soil.

2) prune the roots when changing the basin, and trim some branches and leaves at the same time. Brazilian wood is generally propagated in the way of technical branches, and when the cuttings have long roots and leaves, they can be transferred to the basin.

Culture methods of Brazilian wood

Brazilian wood likes to be warm and humid, which requires sufficient sunshine and should not be placed in a dark place, otherwise the leaves will have no luster and lose their ornamental value. However, Brazilian wood can not be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, 50% shading is appropriate in summer, spring and autumn can accept direct light in the morning and evening, and there is no need to shade in winter.

If the environment is too overcast, the leaf color is green, the glossiness is low, and if the light is too strong, it is easy to burn the leaves by the hot sun. In cultivation, the yellow lines of the leaves fade because the indoor light is too dark, which can be changed by proper exposure to the sun.

The soil in the flowerpot where Brazilian wood is planted should be kept moist, but it should not be flooded, or the roots will rot. Due to vigorous growth, large water consumption, easy to appear water shortage phenomenon, should pay attention to timely watering, normal weather should be fully watered once a day, space or ground sprinkler 2 to 3 times, air humidity requirements of 80%, high temperature and humidity is conducive to its rapid growth. Too much or too little watering will lead to root rot, drooping leaves and dull leaves.

The rotten root should be removed at this time. If the bottom stake is rotten, it can be sawed off, soaked in 0.2% potassium permanganate water for 10 to 30 minutes, and buried in a well-drained matrix soil. The leaf edge is scorched or dry, which is caused by air dryness, and can be improved by spraying water to the leaf surface.

The basin soil requires a certain amount of water and fertilizer, aerated and loose soil. Generally, the best mixture of coconut bran and river sand is 6 ∶ 4, or the mixture of peat soil and river sand is 1 ∶ / l. Change the basin every two years to renew the root system and enhance its vitality.

Because it is a foliage plant, the proportion of nitrogen fertilizer should be slightly heavy, and the full-effect compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be applied once a month, while potassium dihydrogen phosphate + urea 0.2% to 0.3% aqueous solution should be applied outside the root for 2 to 3 times. For the varieties with golden or silver spots, we should apply more phosphate and potassium fertilizer and less nitrogen fertilizer, too much nitrogen fertilizer will lead to excessive plant growth and leaf color turning green, and reduce the ornamental value.
