How to care for Brazilian wood to make it bloom more
If you want Brazilian wood to bloom, you need to pay attention to the correct maintenance methods. First, plant Brazilian wood in well-drained, humus-rich, slightly acidic soil, and place it in a sunny area to receive ample sunlight. Additionally, maintain reasonable humidity during the growing season. If the branches and leaves show signs of burning, spray water around them. To ensure the Brazilian wood blooms smoothly, it also needs to be fertilized appropriately.
Brazilian wood cultivation and flowering
Brazilian wood usually blooms in January. If the growing environment is suitable, it can bloom every year. However, if the maintenance conditions are average, it can only bloom every 2-3 years. To make Brazilian wood bloom continuously, the following aspects need to be considered:
Soil: Brazilian wood grows well in well-drained, humus-rich, slightly acidic soil. Therefore, to make it bloom, peat soil, decomposed leaf soil, and pearl rock soil should be mixed in proportion for planting.
Sunlight: Brazilian wood enjoys sunlight and can be placed in a sunny area for cultivation. However, during hot summers, avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. Apart from summer, Brazilian wood should ensure ample sunlight.
Watering: Brazilian wood prefers a moist environment but is afraid of waterlogging, especially in winter when it may enter a dormant period. During this time, special attention should be paid to controlling the amount of water, keeping the soil as dry as possible. During the growing season, maintain reasonable humidity, and if the branches and leaves show signs of burning, spray water around them.
Fertilizing: It is recommended to fertilize Brazilian wood once every half month during the growing season. Stop applying nitrogen fertilizer around September and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 2-3 times a month to increase the plant's cold resistance. Note that if you want the Brazilian wood to be more ornamental, fertilize sparingly to avoid overgrowth, which is difficult to maintain.
Dealing with non-blooming Brazilian wood
Temperature: Brazilian wood prefers warmth. If the winter temperature is not suitable, it will not bloom. Usually, the indoor temperature should be kept above 10℃ in winter. Additionally, Brazilian wood enjoys a humid environment and needs to maintain the humidity of the surrounding air when new leaves appear.
Soil: Planting Brazilian wood requires suitable soil, usually well-drained, humus-rich, slightly acidic soil, and it needs to be repotted after a period to ensure sufficient nutrients for the plant's growth.
Grey Mold Disease: Grey mold disease is the most common disease in Brazilian wood and can affect blooming. When cultivating, pay attention to the growing environment, maintain soil moisture, ensure adequate light and good ventilation to effectively reduce the occurrence of this disease. If this disease is found, it can be sprayed with a special pesticide.
