Next, the editor introduces the family pot planting method of duck foot wood.

1. Distribution of soil

The planting soil of duck foot wood requires deep, loose and fertile soil. Family potted plants are generally made of rotten leaf soil or peat soil, pastoral soil, plus 1x4 river sand or perlite. In order to ensure that the soil is fertile, a small amount of cake fertilizer can be added to the soil as base fertilizer.

2. Upper basin

Choose robust seedlings with well-developed roots and plant them in pots before germination in late autumn or spring.

3. Colonization

Put a layer of rubble on the bottom of the container before planting, add a small amount of nutritious soil, put the plant into the flowerpot and add a small amount of soil roots to closely combine with the soil. Then pour the water through and compact the soil. After the new plants are planted, they should be placed in the semi-shade for a week, and then gradually transferred to the sun for normal management.

4. Watering

If the duck foot wood is maintained in a plastic flowerpot, it should be drained in time, and the soil should be watered without waiting for dryness when watering, and keep the soil moist at any time. When the weather is dry, spray around the plant, pay attention to cover the rain during the rainy season, and avoid stagnant water in the basin. The amount of water varies according to the season, and more water is needed in summer. Water once a day to keep the basin soil moist, watering every 3-4 days in spring and autumn, such as too much water or waterlogging, it is easy to cause root rot.

5. Fertilization

Fertilization is applied once a week during the summer growth period, and compound fertilizer such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied after loosening the soil. During the period from May to September, apply 20% cake fertilizer and water twice a month. For mosaic varieties, if there is more nitrogen fertilizer and weak light, the plaques on the leaves will not be obvious.

6. Pruning

Duck foot wood grows fast, and it is easy to sprout and grow branches. An adult plant needs regular shaping and pruning to keep the plant shape neat and beautiful. The duck foot wood, which has been preserved for many years, has perennial old branches and the plant shape is too large, so it can be re-cut in combination with changing pots when the new buds germinate every year to cut off branches, leaves and old roots.

7. Change the basin

Duck foot wood needs to be changed every spring, and if you use plastic pots, you need to pay attention to the loose soil. Pot soil is prepared with peat soil, rotten leaf soil, perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer, and can also be potted with fine sandy soil. Before new buds germinate in spring every year, pots should be changed, part of the old soil should be removed, and potted with new soil. When the old perennial plants are too large in indoor cultivation, they can be pruned in combination with changing pots.
