Soil: It is best to use loose, humus-rich, and well-draining acidic soil for cultivating Brazilwood. Watering: During the growing period, water thoroughly to keep the soil moist. Lighting: Maintain sufficient sunlight in spring, autumn, and winter, and avoid direct sunlight in summer. Temperature: 20-30℃. Additionally, pruning should be done in a timely manner to prevent common diseases and pests.
I. Soil
Brazilwood does not have high requirements for soil. To make it grow better, it is best to use loose, humus-rich, and well-draining acidic soil.
II. Watering
During the growing period of Brazilwood, water thoroughly to keep the soil moist. Insufficient watering will lead to poor growth. Make sure to water until the soil is saturated. In autumn, control the amount of watering, and in winter, significantly reduce or stop watering, as excessive watering can cause root rot.
III. Lighting
Brazilwood is shade-tolerant and enjoys sunlight. Insufficient sunlight can cause the leaves to turn yellow and the leaf patterns to easily disappear. Maintain sufficient sunlight in spring, autumn, and winter, and avoid direct sunlight in summer to prevent leaf burn. Indoors, place it in a bright and sunny location.
IV. Temperature
Brazilwood requires a growth environment of 20-30℃. If the temperature is suitable, it will grow throughout the year. In winter, keep the temperature above 5℃, as low temperatures can cause yellow-brown spots on the leaf tips. In summer, when temperatures are high, provide appropriate shade and spray water around to lower the temperature.
V. Precautions
1. Brazilwood can grow into large plants. When it grows too tall and the leaves fall off, it will severely affect the appearance. Therefore, pruning should be done in a timely manner to enhance its ornamental value and promote new branches.
2. It can be affected by leaf spot disease and stem rot disease. After infection, spray with wettable benomyl or wettable thiophanate-methyl for control.
