How to care for a巴西木 (Brazil wood) after buying it?
Today, the editor will introduce the related contents of how to care for a newly purchased巴西木 and the precautions for planting巴西木 in the pet aspect. Next, it will be a comprehensive introduction.
Many friends have watched videos of巴西木, where just pouring a little water into a plate can make it survive. However, when they try to care for it themselves, they still follow the video's operations, yet the plant dies. In fact, the video only introduces a part of the maintenance process, and some necessary details are not shown, which can lead to problems.
Before hydroponically cultivating巴西木, soak it in a fungicide solution for fifteen minutes. Hydroponically cultivated巴西木 is easily infected by germs, causing it to rot before the leaves even grow. Disinfection is necessary and also the first step in hydroponics.
The water level in the container should be about 3-5 millimeters. It cannot be watered as with富贵竹 (F ortune bamboo), adding water to almost half the bottle each time. This method of watering will cause the巴西木 to rot due to immersion in just a few days. Hydroponics already violates the growth rules, and immersion is an even more incorrect method. Water should only be added when the container becomes dry, alternating between dry and wet conditions for the巴西木 to grow normally.
Fertilize once a month by adding a small amount of liquid fertilizer to the container, then discard it after 24 hours and add new water. The substances in the fertilizer are numerous and can easily breed bacteria when exposed to the air for a long time, eventually rotting and smelling bad. Therefore, discarding it and adding new water after a period is like allowing the巴西木 to eat well, rest for a while, and then eat again. I hope this explanation makes sense.
