How to raise Dryopteris

Adiantum is Adiantum family, perennial herbs, 0.1-0.6 meters high. Because of its slender stems and color like iron wire, it is named Adiantum. Adiantum is also an indicator of calcareous soil. Due to its fear of dryness and strong light, it must be placed in a place where there is no direct sunlight.

1. How to raise iron ferns

Adiantum prefers warm, moist and semi-shady environments. The suitable temperature for growth is 21-25℃ during the day and 12-15℃ at night. In winter, the leaves can keep fresh green when the temperature is above 5℃, but the leaves will be frozen when the temperature is below 5℃. Like bright scattered light, afraid of direct sunlight. Summer can be appropriate shade, long-term direct sunlight will cause most of the leaves withered. It should be placed indoors in a bright place, even if it is placed for 1 year, it can grow normally.

Adiantum like humid environment, growth season to fully water, in addition to keeping the pot soil moist, but also pay attention to a higher air humidity, dry air to the plant around watering. Especially in summer, water should be poured 1-2 times a day. If there is water shortage, it will cause leaf atrophy. Avoid watering pot soil when dry when wet, easy to make leaves yellow. Apply thin liquid fertilizer 2-3 times a month, do not contaminate the leaves when applying fertilizer, so as not to cause rotten leaves. Due to the calcium-loving habits of Adiantum, the pot soil should be added with proper amount of lime and broken eggshells, and the effect of calcium fertilizer will be better if it is often applied. In winter, water should be reduced and fertilizer should be stopped.

Second, the breeding method of Adiantum

1. Plant division and reproduction

Adiantum fern is often carried out in spring when the pot is changed, the mother plant is taken out from the pot, the rhizome is pulled open, the aged rhizome is removed, the root system is pruned, the dead branches and broken branches are cut off, the pot can be directly potted, temporarily placed in a semi-shady place, the dry wind is avoided, the water is sprayed appropriately, the air humidity is kept high, and the new branches can be viewed after growing.

2. Spore reproduction

Disinfect peat and brick dust, mix substrate, put into pot, evenly sprinkle mature spores of Adiantum fern, germination temperature is 20-25 DEG C. It takes about 30-40 days to germinate, and 60- 70 days from sowing to true leaf growth of sporophyte.

III. Family effects of Adiantum

Adiantum can absorb about 20 micrograms of formaldehyde per hour, so some people compare Adiantum to the most effective biological "purifier", which has a strong air purification effect and plays an important role in improving the home environment. So people who deal with paint and paint all day long, or people who like to smoke around, should place a pot of ferns in the workplace. Adiantum also inhibits xylene and toluene released from computer monitors and printers.

The plants arranged in the study should be conducive to setting off a quiet and elegant atmosphere. Can choose such as plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and so on since ancient times for people to praise the famous flowers and flowers, but also can choose some refreshing elegant plants to regulate the nervous system, eliminate work and study fatigue, and with the rich book fragrance phase has a Zhang. Such as the desk dotted with a few delicate handsome Adiantum, is an ideal choice.

The humidity of toilet is big, turbid gas is heavy, and green plant can absorb moisture and turbid gas, accordingly, put appropriate plant to be helpful in toilet to go wet, drive turbid. Toilet plants can be resistant to damp, leaves soft, and hairless, thornless plants, such as Adiantum, Evergreen, Ficus, Douban green and so on.

Through the above introduction, we understand that this relatively slender plant is more suitable for the bedroom and balcony, Chinese decoration is more suitable for the cultivation of this delicate flowers and plants, and very good with other collocation. Not only fresh, but also healthy, green and environmentally friendly.
