The winter temperature is not lower than 5 ℃. If the temperature is below 0 ℃, the plant will be frozen and the leaves will fall, but if the stem is intact, new leaves will sprout again in the following spring. Goose palm wood likes cool and humid growth conditions and is not hardy, so it should be kept indoors in winter in the north.

Second, the culture method of goose palm wood

1. Soil selection: in many places, in addition to large-scale breeding, goose palm wood is generally only used for family ornamental breeding. Pot soil culture can choose the soil made from the mixture of rotten leaf soil and garden soil, and apply rotten cake soil as the substrate.

two。 Illumination: goose palm wood can bear shade, and it can also grow well when placed indoors or on the balcony all the year round, but pay attention to ventilation and do not expose to the sun to avoid withering and yellowing leaves.

Watering: because goose palm wood likes to be wet, it can be watered properly, and water can be sprayed to the leaves in summer high temperature season to keep the leaves clean and to achieve the purpose of cooling. In spring and autumn, goose palm wood needs relatively less water, as long as the soil is slightly wet.

4. Fertilization: the fertilization of goose palm wood should follow the principle of thin fertilizer application frequently, for different varieties of goose palm wood should vary from plant to plant, and less nitrogen fertilizer should be applied, because too much nitrogen fertilizer should be applied, the joint plant will grow, and the color of the leaves will turn green, which will affect the ornamental.

5. Pruning: goose palm wood generally does not need pruning, if the leaves fall, the lower branches are lighter, the upper branches can be cut off, so as to promote the germination of new branches. What is cut can also be re-inserted.

6. Pest control: it is mainly harmful to leaf spot and anthrax, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of acetic acid solution. Insect pests are mainly caused by shell insects, which are sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate EC. In addition, red spiders, thrips and leaf moths harm the leaves of goose palm wood, which can be sprayed with 3000 times of permethrin EC.

III. Matters needing attention in the culture of goose palm wood

1. If the leaves under the goose palm wood fall out and become bare poles, cut short from the upper half to promote the germination of new branches, the cut branches can also be cut, and after rooting, they will become new plants.

two。 If you do not want the goose paw wood to grow too high, you can wait until it is 30 centimeters long to pick out the heart, that is, wipe the head, wipe off the buds on the top, and grow lateral branches over a period of time.

3. Raise goose palm wood, pay attention to timely shade in summer, do not let the scorching sun shine directly.

4. At the beginning of November, after goose palm wood enters the room, the indoor temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃, otherwise it will cause the leaves to fall.

5. In the growing season, liquid fertilizer should be applied every 1-2 weeks. During the period from May to September, apply 20% cake fertilizer and water twice a month.

This is the end of how to raise goose palm wood and the matters needing attention in the process of breeding. When the plants grow up healthily, the leaves that look like goose palm can bring people different visual enjoyment.
