How to cultivate巴西木 (Brazil wood)
Here are some related contents about how to cultivate Brazil wood and the green plant aspects of its breeding and precautions, as follows:
Soil: It is best to use loose, humus-rich, and well-draining acidic soil for growing Brazil wood. Watering: Thorough watering is required during the growing period to keep the soil moist. Light: Ample sunlight should be maintained in spring, autumn, and winter, while avoiding direct strong sunlight in summer. Temperature: 20-30℃. Additionally, pruning should be done in a timely manner to prevent common diseases and pests.
I. Soil
Brazil wood does not have high demands on soil. To make it grow better, it is best to use loose, humus-rich, and well-draining acidic soil.
II. Watering
During the growth of Brazil wood, it should be watered sufficiently to keep the soil moist. Insufficient watering can lead to poor growth, and watering must be thorough. In autumn, the amount of watering should be controlled, and in winter, watering should be reduced or stopped to prevent root rot.
III. Light
Brazil wood is shade-tolerant and enjoys sunlight. Insufficient sunlight can cause the leaves to turn yellow and the patterns on the leaves to easily fade. Ample sunlight should be maintained in spring, autumn, and winter, while avoiding direct strong sunlight in summer to prevent leaf burn. When growing indoors, it should be placed in a bright and sunny location.
IV. Temperature
Brazil wood requires a growth environment of 20-30℃. With suitable temperatures, it can grow all year round. In winter, the temperature should be kept above 5℃ to prevent yellow and brown spots on the leaf tips. In summer, when the temperature is high, appropriate shading and spraying water around the plant should be done to lower the temperature.
V. Precautions
1. Brazil wood can grow into large plants, and when it grows too tall, the leaves will fall off, which can seriously affect its appearance. Therefore, timely pruning should be done to enhance its ornamental value and promote new branches.
2. It can be affected by leaf spot disease and stem rot disease. If affected, wettable benzylpenicillin or wettable thiabendazole should be sprayed for control.
