Second, the planting skills of swallow palm

1. Upper basin

When the seedlings are installed in the basin, first put a coarse-grained matrix or ceramsite 2cm thick at the bottom of the basin as a filter layer, sprinkle a layer of fully mature organic fertilizer as base fertilizer with a thickness of about 1cm to 2cm, and then cover it with a layer of matrix, which is about 1cm thick, and then put in the plant to separate the fertilizer from the root system and avoid burning roots.

You can choose one of the following substrates for potting. Vegetable garden soil: slag = 3RU 1; or garden soil: medium coarse river sand: sawdust = 4RU 1RU 2; or one of paddy soil, pond mud, rotten leaf soil. Or peat + perlite + ceramsite = 2 + 2 + 1; vegetable garden soil + slag = 3 + 1; peat + slag + ceramsite = 2 + 2 + 1; sawdust + vermiculite + medium coarse river sand = 2 + 2 + 1. Pour water once after putting on the basin and keep it in a shady environment for a week.

two。 Humidity management

Like the drier air environment, overcast and rainy days last too long, vulnerable to bacteria infection. For fear of rain, keep the leaves dry at night. The optimum relative humidity of the air is 40-60%.

3. Temperature management

The optimum growth temperature is 15 ℃ ~ 32 ℃. It is afraid of high temperature and muggy heat, and goes into dormancy when the summer temperature is above 33 ℃. Avoid cold frost, the overwintering temperature needs to be kept above 10 ℃, and when the winter temperature drops below 7 ℃, it will also enter a dormant state. If the ambient temperature is close to 4 ℃, it will die of frostbite.

a. In the summer:

Strengthen the air convection so that the temperature in the body can be released.

Put it in the half shade, or give it 50% shade.

Spray it properly, 2 or 3 times a day.

b. In winter:

Move to a brightly lit place for maintenance

Outside, you can wrap it in film for the winter, but uncover the film every two days when the temperature is high at noon to let it breathe.

4. Light management

The leaf color will be more beautiful when you keep it in the semi-shade in summer, or give it 50% shade. In spring and autumn, because the temperature is not very high, it is necessary to give it direct sunlight to facilitate its photosynthesis to accumulate nutrients. In winter, keep it indoors where there is bright light for maintenance. Usually put in the indoor maintenance, should be placed in the southeast near the doors and windows, in order to receive light, and every month or one and a half months, to move to the outdoor maintenance for two months, otherwise the leaves will grow thin, yellow, new branches or petioles slender, elongated internodes, in a state of overgrowth.

5. Fertilizer and water management

Its drought tolerance is very strong, and it can also grow under dry environmental conditions, but this does not mean that it does not water or fertilize it; its roots are afraid of water stains, and if there is water in the flowerpot, or if it is watered and fertilized too frequently, it will easily cause rotting roots. The principle of watering it is "dry and wet, dry and thoroughly dry, not dry, water thoroughly", and avoid wetting the plant during the day when watering.

6. Overwintering management

Move the basin into the room in time. After entering winter, Yushu should be moved to an indoor thermal insulation that can maintain 7 ℃ to 10 ℃. In warmer days, Yushu can be moved to the balcony at noon to bask in the sun, and the night still moves indoors. Control the dry humidity of the basin soil. In winter, the basin soil is mainly slightly dry, and timely spray fine mist to replenish water. In general, there is no need to directly water the basin soil. Move into the greenhouse to keep warm. Conditional pots can be moved into the greenhouse, no conditions can also be used plastic film cover, but need to pay attention to the humidity in the cover, found that the water is too wet, it is necessary to remove the cover and breathe in time to prevent rotten leaves. If Yushu has suffered frost damage due to the mistake of early anti-freezing measures, do not discard the plant easily. As long as the frozen leaves and twigs are removed, the full main stem is preserved and fertilized properly in the coming spring, new branches and leaves can still germinate on the main stem. Generally, after 1 to 2 years of cultivation, it can develop into a perfect jade tree.

The above is the relevant knowledge of swallow palm, I hope I can help you.

It is easy to cause rotten roots. The principle of watering it is "dry and wet, dry and thoroughly dry, not dry, water thoroughly", and avoid wetting the plant during the day when watering.
