A small knowledge of life, introducing how to grow巴西木 to make it root and the tips for hydroponic care of 巴西木, let's follow the editor to take a look!
巴西木, also known as巴西 iron tree,巴西 millennium wood, and fragrant dragon blood tree, is a perennial evergreen woody plant of the Lily family, Dracaena genus. The plant has a neat and beautiful shape with straight stems; the leaves are wide and glossy, with several golden longitudinal lines, curved into an arch shape, and the leaf edges are wavy and lush. Because of its unique stem and leaves, it is also a very rare plant for stem viewing. It is suitable to be placed in a bright place.
1. Hydroponic method
(1) Cut the perennial stem of large cylindrical 巴西木 into stems of different lengths or cut off the leafy branches growing on the stem as materials. The top of the stem material needs to be waxed.
(2) Choose a glass container with a planting cup.
(3) Cut off 巴西木, retain the top leaves, remove the lower leaves, let it dry for a few days first, then insert 1/3 of the stem cutting into water, change the water every 3-5 days, and add a small amount of polyoxymethylene water solution for antiseptic and disinfection, maintain a higher temperature, place it in a bright scattered light area, and it is best to use a black plastic bag to cover the container for shading, which can promote root growth. The figure shows the hydroponic 巴西木.
(4) In the early stage of hydroponics, you can add a specified concentration of 1/2 of the foliage nutrient solution, add clear water every 7-10 days, and update the nutrient solution every 25-30 days, with a pH of 5.5-6. The initial liquid level of the nutrient solution should not be too high, just immerse the roots 1/2.
2. Maintenance Guide
(1) Light and temperature 巴西木 likes a high temperature and humid climate. It has a strong adaptability to light, slightly shaded or in the sun can grow, but in spring, autumn, and winter, it should be exposed to more sunlight, and in summer, it should be shaded or placed in a well-ventilated indoor area. 巴西木 is afraid of cold, so it should be placed in a sunny indoor area in winter, and the temperature should be maintained between 5 to 10℃.
(2) Watering In the high summer temperature, you can use the spray method to increase the humidity of the air and spray water on the leaves to keep them moist.
(3) Pest and disease control Hydroponic 巴西木 sometimes has symptoms such as leaf edge burning and leaf tip drying, which are mostly caused by physiological diseases such as drought, low temperature, improper watering, and fertilizing. The control method is to improve the cultivation management, control temperature and humidity, apply nutrient solution reasonably, and ventilate appropriately.
The above is the specific introduction of how to grow 巴西木 to make it root and the tips for hydroponic care of 巴西木, I hope you will like it!
