The Cultivation Method and Precautions of Yuye Fulu Tong
As a plant with high appearance value in the tropical ornamental leaf plant world, Yuye Fulu Tong, with its feathery compound leaves and elegant branches, is becoming a new favorite in urban family greenery. However, to keep it in a lush and fresh state, mastering these key养护 details is particularly important.
Four Elements of Growth Gold
Intelligent Water Control Solution
Use the 'Fingertip Soil Exploration Method' to determine the watering time, feeling the moisture by inserting the index finger 2 centimeters into the potting soil. Keep the surface slightly moist in spring and autumn, spray the leaves with water in the morning and evening in summer, and use the immersion pot method to supply water in winter. Special reminder: new leaves becoming soft often indicate water deficiency, while old leaves turning yellow may indicate waterlogging and root rot.
Light and Shadow Balance Art
The eastern window sill is an ideal location, as morning light can promote leaf thickening. When the leaf spacing becomes longer, it indicates the need for more light. Use the 'Sheer Curtain Filtering Method' in summer, using a single-layer window screen to soften strong light. Regularly rotate the pot 180° to avoid phototropism tilt of the plant.
Nutrition Supply Rhythm
In the growing period, use the 'Sandwich Fertilizing Method': bury bone meal as a base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, sprinkle slow-release granules on the surface, and supplement with diluted leaf plant special liquid fertilizer 2000 times every half month. During the dormant period, when fertilization is stopped, banana peel boiled water can be used as a substitute for nutrient supplement.
Secret of Soil Renewal
Configure the golden matrix proportion: 4 parts of decomposed leaf soil + 3 parts of pearl rock + 2 parts of coconut bran + 1 part of charcoal dust. Keep 1/3 of the protective heart soil when repotting, and mix earthworm dung into the new soil to enhance activity. After repotting, cover with a bag to keep moist for 7 days, which can effectively shorten the adaptation period.
Key Points of Seasonal Maintenance
In the high temperature period of summer, start the 'Double Circulation System': spray the environment once in the morning and once in the evening + water the roots thoroughly once a week. During the heating period in winter, use the 'Insulating Pad Pot Method', using a wooden tray to insulate from the damage of floor heating. It is especially important to note that new plants need to go through a 15-day seedling acclimatization period before fertilizing.
Mastering these maintenance essentials, Yuye Fulu Tong can not only grow healthily but also be shaped into a unique cloud-shaped appearance through regular pruning. When you see the sunlight passing through the feathery leaves and casting mottled shadows on the ground, you will understand that all the careful care is worthwhile.
