How to propagate the巴西木 (Brazil bamboo) in water
For many girls, the introduction of how to propagate the巴西木 in water and the methods of water cultivation and maintenance of green plants and flowers, the following is an introduction by the editor.
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百合科 (Liliaceae) Dracaena genus. The plant has a neat and beautiful shape, with a straight stem; the leaves are wide and glossy, with several golden yellow longitudinal lines, curved into an arch shape, and the leaf edges are wavy and vibrant. Because of its unique stem and leaves, it is also a very rare ornamental stem plant. It is suitable to be placed in a bright area.
1. Water cultivation method
(1) Cut the perennial stem of the large cylindrical 巴西木 into stem segments of different lengths, or cut off the leafy branches growing on the stem as materials. The upper end of the stem segment material needs to be coated with wax.
(2) Choose a glass container with a planting cup.
(3) Cut the 巴西木, retain the top leaves, remove the lower leaves, let it dry for a few days first, then immerse 1/3 of the stem cutting in water, change the water every 3-5 days, and add a small amount of multi菌灵 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遮光 the container, 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 foliar nutrient solution, add clear water every 7-10 days, and update the nutrient solution every 25-30 days, pH 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 is highly adaptable to light, and can grow in slightly shaded or sunny conditions, but it should be exposed to more sunlight in spring, autumn, and winter, and shaded or placed in a well-ventilated indoor area in summer. 巴西木 is afraid of cold, and in winter it should be placed in a sunny area indoors, with the temperature maintained at 5-10℃.
(2) Watering In the high summer temperatures, you can use the misting method to increase the humidity of the air and spray water on the leaves to keep them moist.
(3) Pest and disease control Sometimes, hydroponic 巴西木 may have leaf edge burning or leaf tip drying, which is mostly caused by physiological diseases such as drought, low temperature, improper watering, and fertilization. The control method is to improve the cultivation management, control temperature and humidity, apply a nutrient solution appropriately, and ensure proper ventilation.
The above is an introduction to how to propagate the 巴西木 in water and the methods of water cultivation and maintenance, hoping to bring a little help to your life!
