With the increasing number of people who enjoy gardening, a problem has been discovered: everyone has different preferences for plants. For example, many gardening enthusiasts neither like flowering plants nor foliage plants, but prefer woody plants. The Brazilian wood recommended by us today is very suitable for gardening enthusiasts who enjoy woody plants.
The plant of Brazilian wood looks like a lush little tree, which is very pleasant to have at home. However, it still requires some skills to care for it. Today, let's talk about the maintenance techniques of Brazilian wood and teach you how to keep the leaves of your Brazilian wood lush and green!
I. Soil
No matter what plant we are caring for, the most important thing is to choose soil that is suitable for its growth. The requirements of Brazilian wood for soil are not high. However, if we want it to grow better, we should choose a loose, breathable, rich in humus, and well-drained acidic soil, which is the most suitable soil for Brazilian wood.
In addition, many gardening enthusiasts often neglect to repot Brazilian wood because the plant is relatively large. Over time, the soil for growing Brazilian wood will lack nutrients and become compacted, which can easily lead to yellowing and drying of the leaves. Therefore, gardening enthusiasts should repot Brazilian wood every 2-3 years and never be lazy!

II. Watering
The most important aspect of caring for Brazilian wood is to water it properly. Do not neglect watering just because it is a woody plant. In fact, Brazilian wood requires a lot of water and the soil and environment must be kept moist. Lack of water can easily cause drying and yellowing of the leaves, even affecting the plant's normal growth. However, during the winter when the temperature is low, the amount of watering should be reduced to avoid root rot due to excessive watering.
The editor also wants to teach everyone a small method for watering Brazilian wood, which is the immersion pot method. Place the potted plant directly in a water basin and put it in a well-ventilated environment after the plant has absorbed enough water. Alternatively, gardening enthusiasts can also grow Brazilian wood directly in water, which is not only simple to operate but also very clean and aesthetically pleasing.
III. Temperature
Another important aspect of caring for Brazilian wood is the suitable growing temperature. Brazilian wood prefers a warm environment, so it generally needs to be in a temperature range of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius to grow better. As long as the temperature is suitable, it can grow normally throughout the year. However, gardening enthusiasts must note that Brazilian wood is not very cold-resistant and the temperature should be kept above 5 degrees Celsius in winter, otherwise the leaves are very prone to spots.
