How to care for a new Fortune Tree: Comprehensive Guide to Fortune Tree Maintenance

How to raise the newly purchased rich tree

The key to whether the newly acquired rich trees can grow healthily lies in scientific maintenance during the adaptation period. As an indoor leaf-viewing plant with auspicious meaning, the maintenance of Fugui Tree involves many skills such as environmental adaptation and water and fertilizer control. This article will systematically analyze the key points of maintenance from four core dimensions to help you create a rich tree landscape with luxuriant branches and leaves. 1. Soil management points 1.1 Selection of timing for soil replacement. Newly purchased Fugui trees need to undergo an environmental adaptation period of 15-20 days. Soil can be replaced only when the leaves stretch and no wilting. Changing pots during the fragile period of root systems can easily cause capillary roots to break and affect water absorption efficiency. 1.2 The matrix formula is optimized with a gold ratio of humus: perlite: river sand =5:3:2, which not only ensures the organic matter content, but also enhances drainage and breathability. Regular addition of pine scales can adjust the soil pH to the slightly acidic range of 6.0-6.5. 2. Water control strategies 2.1 The quantitative standard for watering follows the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet", and the surface soil of 2cm is watered thoroughly when it is dry. Make 300ml of water every 3 days in summer and extend it to 7 days in winter. Use standing water with the temperature consistent with the environment. 2.2 Humidity maintenance techniques are combined with leaf spray in the morning and evening to maintain the ambient humidity of 60%-70%. Pebbles can be placed on the tray to inject water to form a micro-climate circle through evaporation. 3. Light management plan Receive soft light for 3 hours in the morning in spring and autumn, and use gauze curtains with a shading rate of 40% to filter strong light in summer. Regularly rotate the flowerpot 180° to ensure balanced light reception in all directions and avoid off-crown growth. 4. Nutrient supply system 4.1 Fertilization is strictly prohibited 30 days before the slow seedling stage, and can only be applied after new leaves germinate. Misapplication of fertilizer will lead to excessive EC values and lead to separation of the cytoplasmic wall of root tips. 4.2 During the growth period, a slow-release fertilizer with N-P-K=10-5-5 was used, and 5-8 grains were buried along the edge of the pot every season. Combined with foliar spraying of alginins once a month to enhance the luster of leaf waxy layers.

Through scientific environmental control and precise maintenance, the survival rate of newly purchased rich trees can be increased to more than 95%. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record data such as temperature, humidity, new leaf growth speed, etc., and gradually master the personalized maintenance rhythm so that the rich tree can truly become a green asset in the home space.
