How to properly care for巴西木
An introduction to the proper care and watering methods for巴西木, as well as some tips about green plants and flowers, which will be discussed by the editor next.
I. Soil
巴西木 does not have high requirements for soil. To promote better growth, it is best to use loose, humus-rich, and well-draining acidic soil.
II. Watering
During the growing period of 巴西木, it is necessary to water sufficiently to keep the soil moist. Insufficient watering will lead to poor growth, and it is important to water thoroughly. In autumn, the amount of watering should be controlled, and in winter, the watering should be reduced or stopped, as excessive watering can cause root rot.
III. Light
巴西木 is very shade-tolerant and enjoys sunlight. Insufficient sunlight can cause the leaves to turn yellow and the leaf patterns to easily fade. Ample sunlight should be provided in spring, autumn, and winter, while avoiding direct strong sunlight in summer to prevent leaf burn. When kept indoors, it should be placed in a bright and sunny location.
IV. Temperature
巴西木 requires a growth environment of 20-30℃. If the temperature is suitable, it will grow throughout the year. In winter, the temperature should be kept above 5℃ to prevent yellowish-brown spots on the leaf tips. In summer, when the temperature is high, appropriate shading should be provided, and water should be sprayed around to lower the temperature.
V. Precautions
1. 巴西木 can grow into a large plant, and when it becomes too tall, the leaves will fall off, which can seriously affect its appearance. Therefore, timely pruning is necessary to enhance its ornamental value and promote new branches.
2. It can be affected by leaf spot and stem rot diseases. When these diseases occur, wettable Benomyl or wettable Methylthiophanate should be sprayed for control.
