How to maintain the potted rich trees bought in the market

The rich tree is a kind of plant native to the tropics. Because of its high ornamental value, it is generally planted as a foliage pot in China. However, as a family potted rich tree, we must master certain planting skills, otherwise the plant may have a variety of poor growth phenomenon.

If we want to make potted rich trees strong in indoor environment and have high ornamental value, it is necessary to master certain maintenance and management skills. So, how to maintain the potted rich trees bought by the market?

I. selection of soil and matching of soil

The money-making trees we buy from the flower market are usually obtained by cutting branches from wood trees. As a novice, it is not easy to raise small saplings of such a rich tree. Because such rich trees are planted in pots, their roots are usually relatively weak and underdeveloped. Therefore, the soil we plant must be prepared. In general, it is recommended that people use a mixed substrate with loose fertility, good permeability and rich organic matter to grow rich trees.

Second, lighting requirements

The rich tree itself likes full sunlight, so it is more beneficial for it to grow when it is planted in an outdoor environment with plenty of light. But as an indoor potted plant, after adapting to the relatively poor indoor light, do not suddenly provide it with direct light. Otherwise, there will be burn spots on the leaves of the plant. Therefore, as indoor pot cultivation, it is only necessary to provide sufficient scattered light.

Third, temperature control

As the rich tree is a tropical tree species, with the characteristics of heat resistance and cold tolerance, so reasonable regulation of temperature is very important. If the temperature in the plant growth environment is lower than 5 °C, the rich tree will show poor growth. Especially during the growing period, be sure to keep the temperature above 10 °C.

IV. Watering management

For the rich tree, the demand for water is not very large, and it is not water-tolerant. Therefore, usually watering must be appropriate, not excessive, otherwise the plant is easy to rot roots. Under normal circumstances, it is more appropriate to keep the basin soil slightly dry.

V. Disease and pest control

The rich tree is a very elegant foliage plant, but we must do a good job in the prevention of diseases and insect pests during maintenance. One of the main symptoms of the disease is root rot, when the disease occurs, the base of the trunk of the plant will blacken and soften, mainly caused by the root. If the disease is not serious, it can be controlled by applying fungicides. However, if the disease is serious, it is necessary to remove the basin and cut off the rotten roots in time, and re-plant it with new soil in the new basin after sterilization.

The second of the main symptoms of the rich tree is leaf spot, the treatment method is to cut off the diseased leaves, and then spray carbendazim or methyl thiophanate solution to sterilize and disinfect the whole plant, which can kill or inhibit the spread of the pathogen.

In fact, among the many flowers and plants, the rich tree is also a relatively easy to raise plants, and the maintenance method is also relatively simple. However, when the potted plants are kept indoors for a long time, the plant will breed aphids, scabies and other insect pests because of various factors such as temperature, humidity and ventilation. Once the rich tree is found to be infected with these pests, brush it off with tools such as a toothbrush and wash it clean.
