巴西木, also known as Brazil Iron Tree, Brazil Thousand-year Tree, and fragrant Dragon Blood Tree, is a perennial evergreen woody plant of the Lily family, Dracaena genus. The plant has a neat and beautiful shape with a straight stem; the leaves are wide and glossy, with several golden longitudinal lines that curve into an arch shape, and the leaf edges are wavy and lush. Due to its unique stem and leaves, it is also a rare plant for stem viewing. It is suitable to be placed in a bright area.
1. Hydroponic method
(1) Cut the perennial stem of large cylindrical巴西木 into stem segments of different lengths or cut off the leafy branches growing on the stem as materials. The top of the stem segments used as materials needs to be coated with wax.
(2) Choose a glass container with a planting cup.
(3) Cut the巴西木, retain the top leaves, remove the lower leaves, let it dry for a few days first, then insert 1/3 of the stem cutting into water, change the water every 3-5 days, and add a small amount of Multiserang water solution for antiseptic and disinfection. Maintain a higher temperature, place it in a bright area with scattered light, and it is best to use a black plastic bag to遮光 the container, which can promote root growth. The image shown is a hydroponic巴西木.
(4) In the early stage of hydroponics, you can add a specified concentration of 1/2 of the foliar nutrient solution, add clean water every 7-10 days, and update the nutrient solution every 25-30 days, with a pH of 5.5-6. The initial liquid level of the nutrient solution should not be too high, just immerse the roots 1/2.
2. Maintenance Guide
(1) Light and Temperature 巴西木 prefers a high temperature and humid climate. It is highly adaptable to light, growing slightly shaded or in the sun, but it should receive more sunlight in spring, autumn, and winter, and be shaded or placed in a well-ventilated indoor area in summer.巴西木 is afraid of cold, and in winter, it should be placed in a sunny indoor area, with the temperature maintained at 5-10℃.
(2) Watering In the hot summer, you can use the spray method to increase humidity and spray water on the leaves to keep them moist.
(3) Pest and Disease Control Hydroponic巴西木 sometimes shows symptoms such as leaf edge burning and leaf tip drying, which are mostly caused by physiological diseases such as drought, low temperature, improper watering, and fertilization. The control method is to improve cultivation management, control temperature and humidity, apply nutrient solution reasonably, and ventilate appropriately.
