How to make the leaves of a happy tree shine
As a popular indoor leaf-viewing plant, Happiness Tree is deeply loved for its elegant form. However, many flower friends have found that plants often have problems such as dim leaves and dry leaf tips. How to keep happy trees shiny? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis from the perspective of scientific conservation. 1. The four core elements of leaf maintenance of happy trees and precise watering skills 1. Use the "knuckle test method": insert the index finger into the pot soil 2 - 3 cm, and then water if the fingertip does not feel moist. 2. Maintain the watering cycle of 7 - 10 days in spring and autumn, shorten it to 5 - 7 days in summer, and extend it to 15 - 20 days in winter. It is recommended to use pottery pots with perlite matrix to improve drainage permeability and humidity control plan 1. Use a fine mist spray can to spray the leaves every morning and evening, and pay attention to avoid the strong noon period. 2. Humidifiers can be used in dry areas in the north to maintain air humidity of 50 - 70%. Wipe the leaves with beer diluent (water: beer = 10: 1) every month to enhance luster Light Management Strategy 1. The east-west facing balcony is the most ideal, ensuring 4 - 6 hours of scattered light a day2. In summer, you need to set up a sunshade net to filter strong light to avoid leaf burns. 3. Rotate the flowerpot 45 degrees every 15 days to ensure balanced growth of plant types. Temperature control points 1. Maintain the optimal growth temperature of 18 - 25 ℃, and no lower than 10 ℃ in winter 2. The flowerpots need to be padded high in the underground greenhouse to avoid high temperature damage to the roots. 3. Controlling the temperature difference between day and night at 5 - 8 ° C is conducive to nutrient accumulation. 2. Advanced skills for foliar water spraying on happy trees. You need to master the correct method for foliar water spraying: 1. Use purified water or tap water that has been dried for 2 days to avoid scale depositation2. Strengthen ventilation after spraying water to prevent the occurrence of leaf spot disease 3. 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be added once a month to promote stratum corneum formation. Reduce the frequency of water spraying during the new leaf period, and then maintain it regularly after the leaves are hardened. 3. Annual maintenance calendar Spring: the best period for changing pots, supplement slow-release fertilizers Summer: focus on preventing pests, increase the frequency of spraying Autumn: pruning and shaping, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote lignification Winter: control water and stop fertilizer, take good cold-proof measures Through systematic maintenance and management, combined with scientific foliar care, the happy tree can not only maintain its luster, but also effectively extend the viewing cycle. It is recommended to conduct comprehensive inspections every quarter and adjust maintenance plans in a timely manner so that green plants can truly become a vibrant ornament of the home space.
