In addition to choosing based on the plant's appearance and personal preferences, many enthusiasts also want the plants to beautify the environment, purify the air, or even bring good fortune and blessings. The Duckbill Tree introduced today can meet all these needs.
The Duckbill Tree is a common green plant in home gardening. It remains evergreen throughout the year and is excellent at purifying the air. It also has a very auspicious name, "Wealth from All Directions," which no flower enthusiast would refuse. Let's quickly take a look at the precautions for caring for Duckbill Trees!
No matter what plant we are cultivating, the first thing we need to understand is its growth habits. The environment for caring for Duckbill Trees must be warm, with temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. It should never drop below 5 degrees. It also requires plenty of scattered light and good ventilation to grow healthily.
However, many enthusiasts often encounter the problem of yellowing leaves when caring for Duckbill Trees. This is actually due to unreasonable lighting conditions. For Duckbill Trees, we only need to ensure there is enough scattered light. In autumn, winter, and spring, when the light is relatively gentle, it can also be exposed to about 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. Never place it in direct strong sunlight or a dark environment, or it will easily develop yellow or even drop leaves.
Cultivation methods and precautions for the Duckbill Tree
1. Soil environment
Choosing the right soil is very important for caring for any plant, as the soil is the environment where the roots thrive. Therefore, we must choose soil that is loose, fertile, and well-draining to avoid damage to the roots caused by soil积水. We should also strictly control the amount of watering, following the principle of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry.
Keeping the potting soil slightly moist is sufficient; never let it get too dry, or it can easily cause the leaves to dry up and fall off. Flower enthusiasts in the north should also be particularly careful, as the water in the north is more alkaline. When watering, add a vitamin C tablet to the water. Otherwise, long-term use of highly alkaline water can cause soil compaction, which is not conducive to the growth of Duckbill Trees.
2. Fertilization
Plants cannot grow without nutrients, and Duckbill Trees particularly enjoy fertilizers. Therefore, to make them grow more vigorously, nutrients must not be lacking. Generally, a balanced nutrient composite fertilizer or a fertilizer rich in nitrogen should be used, or a few slow-release fertilizer pellets can be applied around the edge of the flowerpot, which will gradually seep into the potting soil with water.
