The following is the pruning method of Brazilian iron tree, let's learn it first!

First, how to prune the Brazilian iron tree

As a beautiful foliage plant, Brazilian iron tree has many functions, but what people like most is its ornamental. But in the process of breeding, flower lovers often encounter some problems, such as Brazilian iron tree is too tall, Brazilian iron tree leaves are too long, and this needs timely pruning. Only by pruning branches and leaves can we control the height and beauty of the Brazilian iron tree.

II. Pruning methods of Brazilian iron trees (1) pruning tools

How to trim the Brazilian iron tree? First of all, it is natural to trim the work, scissors, knives should be sharp, alcohol is indispensable, disinfection. In addition, a marker is needed so that the ideal shape can be trimmed.

(2) how to prune the Brazilian iron tree if it is too high?

Brazilian iron tree plant type is strong, its trunk is upright growth, once the nutrients are sufficient, it can grow up to 6 meters! This height is definitely not allowed indoors, so proper pruning to control the height of the Brazilian iron tree is very important. The specific pruning methods are as follows:

However, it should be noted that less fertilizer should be applied after pruning, because too much fertilizer will make the plant grow rapidly because of sufficient nutrients, thus losing the function of truncating the Brazilian iron tree.

The culture method of Brazilian iron tree 1. Watering

We need to spray water on its leaves often, but we can't accumulate water in the basin, which will lead to rotting roots. Be careful not to water too much in winter, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow. In summer, the frequency of watering is increased to prevent drought. After the pruning work is completed, we should increase the care of Brazilian iron to prevent its infection due to our omissions.

two。 Light

Brazilian iron tree does not have much demand for light, semi-overcast or direct sunlight can survive.

3. Soil

The soil of Brazilian iron tree needs sandy soil with strong air permeability, strong drainage function and convenient dredging.

4. Temperature

The suitable temperature for Brazilian iron tree growth is 18 to 24 degrees Celsius, high from March to September, 24 to 30 degrees Celsius, and from September to March, the temperature is between 13 and 18 degrees Celsius.

How to raise the Brazilian iron tree? Culture methods and matters needing attention of Brazilian irontree

Brazilian iron tree, also known as Brazilian wood, Brazilian millennium wood, etc., belongs to the evergreen tree of Liliaceae. The plant type of Brazilian iron tree is neat and beautiful, and its leaves are verdant, so it has high ornamental value. However, in the maintenance process, if we do not pay attention to its growth habits, it is easy to raise problems. So, how to raise the Brazilian iron tree? The breeding methods and matters needing attention of Brazilian iron tree are introduced as follows.

I. the culture method of Brazilian iron tree

1. Lighting: Brazilian iron trees like warm, sunny environment, more shade-resistant, cold-resistant, but also afraid of the hot sun. Therefore, when raising Brazilian iron trees, they should be placed near the balcony where sunlight or scattered light is sufficient. The full absorption of light can make it carry out photosynthesis very well, and the full growth of plants can make the air fresh and breathing unobstructed at home.

two。 Temperature: the suitable growth temperature of Brazilian iron tree is between 20 and 30 ℃. The warm environmental temperature can make Brazilian iron tree better for photosynthesis and respiration, which is full of vitality in the home.

3. Soil: Brazilian iron tree is suitable to use sandy loam with loose, fertile and good drainage. When planting the Brazilian iron tree, this soil can ensure the drainage of the Brazilian iron tree, greatly reduce the stagnant water in the basin soil, prevent the occurrence of rotten roots, and enable it to grow healthily.

4. Watering: Brazilian iron tree likes a warm and humid climate, so the cultivation of Brazilian iron tree needs to maintain high air humidity, avoid stagnant water, which will lead to root rot. Brazilian iron trees should not be watered too much at ordinary times, and the basin soil is dry and rewatered. When it comes to winter, when the temperature drops to 13 ℃, it will enter a dormant period, when watering should be reduced appropriately to keep the basin soil moist and dry; if the basin soil is too wet for a long time, it will lead to rotting roots and death.

5. Fertilization: the evil spirit of Brazilian iron tree to fertilization is not high, the young plant is irrigated with thin liquid fertilizer every 15 days during the re-growth period, and the formed plant can be fertilized every 2 months during the growth period. Fertilization should be based on phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, but more nitrogen fertilizer can be applied.

II. Matters needing attention in Brazilian irontree culture

1. Avoid direct sunlight around noon in summer. You can see more sunshine in winter to promote its branches and leaves to be strong. If you are in excessive shade for a long time, it will lead to the yellowing and shedding of the leaves, so you should pay attention to the moderate exposure of some less strong sunlight.

two。 The pot soil for the cultivation of Brazilian iron tree was mixed with rotten leaf soil or peat soil and sand, and an appropriate amount of rotten cake fertilizer or sesame sauce residue was added. During the growth period, it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist, too much watering and poor drainage are easy to cause root rot. If the basin soil is too dry, it will not grow well.

3. The three seasons of summer, spring and autumn should often spray water to the leaves, stems and the surrounding ground to increase air humidity. When the air is too dry, the new leaves are easy to curl, and even partially dry, resulting in poor leaf extension after the sun. It should be moved to outdoor rain on rainy days, which is beneficial to growth, but attention should be paid to waterlogging prevention.

4. The Brazilian iron tree is very resistant to pruning. If the plant grows too high or the lower leaves fall off, the top trunk can be cut off, and the buds under the cut will germinate and grow new branches and leaves, making the plant moderate in height and beautiful in shape.
