The culture method of threaded iron how to identify threaded iron

Threaded iron is also called willow iron because its leaves look like large willow leaves. It is very similar to Brazilian wood and Yemeni iron, and has the feeling of triplets, so if you distinguish it carefully, it is easy to be confused.

I. the difference between threaded iron and Brazilian wood and Yemeni iron

Threaded iron

The end of the threaded iron industry basically does not droop, and the blade rotates upward.

Threaded iron is also called spiral iron, curling iron, and the blade rotates upward. Spiral iron, Liliaceae, Xianglong blood tree plants. Sexual preference for high temperature, wet, half-day shade environment, especially suitable for indoor cultivation and decoration, but indoor flowering is very rare. When the spiral iron grows to 4 years, the plant is about 1 meter high, and it can blossom when the temperature, humidity and half-day light are satisfied. The flower table is 30 meters long, the Corolla spirals up, the buds are 7 to 10 layers, and the buds bloom for half a month one after another.

Yemeni iron

Yemeni iron leaves are hard, leaf tip drooping is not obvious, obliquely extended, leaves are broad strip, dark green, sessile, leaf margin microwave.

Yimen iron, Latin name Draceana arborea, for the Liliaceae, dragon blood tree plants. Yemeni iron like warm, humid, well-ventilated environment, the appropriate temperature for growth is 20-30 ℃, winter less than 10 ℃ or so there are adverse reactions; like semi-overcast is also resistant to shade, but in the long-term shade maintenance is not conducive to plant health, it is best to put in bright light with scattered light, summer to avoid direct light, so as to avoid sunburn leaves, leaf yellowing or whitening phenomenon.

Brazilian wood

Brazilian wood leaves are soft and wide, leaf tip drooping obviously, arch-shaped, branched; leaf clusters born at the top of the stem.

Brazilian wood, also known as Brazilian iron tree, Brazilian millennium wood, Phnom Penh fragrant dragon blood tree, is an evergreen tree of Liliaceae, more than 6 meters high, potted 50-150 meters high, branched; leaf clusters born at the top of the stem, 40-90 meters long, 6-10 meters wide, curved arched, bright green and shiny. The flowers are inconspicuous and fragrant, which is a famous new generation of indoor foliage plants. The plant is graceful, regular and slightly shady. Like high temperature, below 13 ℃, the plant dormancy and stop growing. Prefer loose, well-drained soil; use rotten leaf soil or peat soil basin.

Second, the culture method of threaded iron

1. Select basin: choose 14cm basin, height is 35cm, crown width is about 40 cm, listing period is 7-8 months.

two。 Matrix preparation: with loose, drained and ventilated imported peat of Pinpoint 5-40 mm specification, mix the peat with water. The standard of adding water is to add water and mix well, hold a handful of peat in hand, and the water seeps from the fingers to be planted in a cup. The amount of peat in each basin is about 400 ml.

3. Requirements for potting seedlings: select high-quality seedlings produced professionally, no diseases and insect pests, no withered leaves, no yellow leaves.

4. Upper cup: for the old basin that is re-used, it must be soaked in potassium permanganate 1000 times solution for more than half an hour, then rinse with clean water and dry for use. Generally use 14cm size pot planting, first in the bottom of the cup cushion 2cm about the matrix, and then move the sieve seedlings into the cup, seedling planting should not be too deep, it is appropriate to flat plant base, medium loose and tight matrix, fill to the cup 9 minutes full.

III. Matters needing attention in the maintenance of threaded iron

1. The demand for water is not great, so it is appropriate to water it dry and wet.

two。 Fertilizer can be used 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer, the demand is relatively small, just 3-4 months before planting because the root system is underdeveloped, generally watering flowers once half a month 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer 2000 times, if a large amount of fertilizer and water is not conducive to growth. If there is a large amount of fertilizer, the new leaves will wrinkle and expand; in the last 4-5 months, the plant growth is larger, and the root system is more developed, generally watering the flowers every half a month with 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer 1000 times.

Have you learned how to raise threaded iron? through the above introduction, have you been interested in this plant? Now the amount of threaded iron sold in the flower market is relatively high, we can choose to raise a pot at home to beautify the room and purify the air.
