Today, I saw a message from a flower friend who said that the leaves of their Fortune Tree turned yellow and were not green enough, and there were many small white spots on the stem. They didn't know what the problem was and what to do.
Many flower friends think that it is easy to have problems with the Fortune Tree in winter, but in fact, if you are not careful about some small details in summer, it is also very easy to cause the Fortune Tree to die. Next, I will introduce the key precautions for cultivating Fortune Tree in summer.
Fortune Tree Summer Cultivation Precautions 1. Control Lighting
The Fortune Tree likes to grow in a bright scattered light environment. If the light is too strong, the Fortune Tree is prone to yellowing of the leaves. If the sunlight is direct, it is very easy to cause sunburn on the leaves of the Fortune Tree. Especially in summer, you should avoid direct sunlight on the Fortune Tree and keep the environment bright.
If you find white chlorotic spots on the leaves of the Fortune Tree, and the placement is relatively close to the direct light position, it is likely that the light is too strong. You should move the Fortune Tree a little closer to the indoors to reduce the light intensity.
2. Provide Sufficient Fertilization and Watering
Summer is the peak growing season for the Fortune Tree. Attention should be paid to providing sufficient fertilization and watering. In spring and autumn, the potting soil of the Fortune Tree can be slightly dry, and even the water can be cut off directly in winter when the temperature is low. However, in summer, the Fortune Tree should be provided with sufficient fertilization and watering to meet its growth needs.
In the peak growing season of the Fortune Tree, you can apply a compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium once a month during watering, or you can apply foliar fertilization.
If you want the leaves of the Fortune Tree to be green, you can spray the leaves with a diluted mixture of beer and vinegar. Beer and vinegar not only contain nutrients but also contain carbon dioxide, which can promote photosynthesis. Vinegar can act as a fungicide, preventing diseases in the Fortune Tree.
When watering the Fortune Tree in summer, you can water when the top 1cm of the potting soil is dry. Since the tree grows rapidly in summer, it usually does not cause root rot.
3. Maintain Ventilation
Maintaining ventilation is very important for the Fortune Tree in summer. First, a well-ventilated environment makes it less likely to have root rot after watering the Fortune Tree. Also, maintaining good ventilation makes it less likely to have pest infestations.
In a hot and humid environment in summer, the Fortune Tree is prone to scale insects, which are small white insects that suck sap from the stems, easily causing poor growth of the Fortune Tree.
Maintaining environmental ventilation can greatly reduce the incidence of pests and also has a cooling effect.
4. Pay Attention to Cooling
The temperature in summer is very high. If the environmental temperature exceeds 35 degrees, it is not conducive to the growth of the Fortune Tree. If it reaches 40 degrees, the Fortune Tree cannot grow normally. If the ventilation is poor, the Fortune Tree is very likely to turn yellow, rot, and eventually die due to high temperature and humidity.
In summer, it is best to place the Fortune Tree in an air-conditioned room and often spray the leaves and surrounding environment with water to increase humidity.
