How to best maintain wealth trees
As a popular choice for home feng shui plants and office green plants, properly maintained Fortune Tree can maintain its shiny and straight shape. However, many people often have problems such as yellow leaves and rotten roots during the maintenance process. The fundamental reason is that the key points of maintenance are not systematically grasped. This article will analyze in detail the scientific maintenance methods of Fortune Tree through five key dimensions. Light and temperature control light-temperature balance rule As a typical tropical plant, the optimal growth temperature needs to be maintained in the range of 20-25℃. Special attention should be paid to keeping warm in winter. When the ambient temperature is lower than 10 ° C, the leaves will appear frostbite markings. At this time, they should be moved indoors immediately and the air conditioner should be turned on for heating. It is recommended to use it with sunshade nets during high temperatures in summer to avoid direct light causing scorched leaf margins. The lighting optimization plan can accept full sunshine in spring and autumn, and ensure 4-6 hours of scattered light irradiation every day. Indoor maintenance recommends turning the flowerpot 45 degrees every week to evenly receive light on all sides. When it is found that the color of new leaves becomes lighter and the spacing between leaves becomes longer, it means that there is insufficient light and light needs to be replenished in time. The scientific watering system for precise management of water and fertilizer uses the "three-finger detection method" to determine watering timing: insert the index finger, middle finger and ring finger into the pot soil to a depth of 5cm. If only the fingertips are moist, water can be watered. Water every 5-7 days in summer, and extend to 15-20 days in winter. Special attention should be paid to the difference between dryness and dryness between pottery pots and plastic pots. The former has strong air permeability and requires an increase of 10%. The nutrient supply plan applies nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers (20-20-20) twice a month during the growth period (March to October), and combines organic fertilizers once a quarter to improve the soil. It is recommended to use 800 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution for foliar fertilizer and spray it on the back of the leaves in the morning to thicken the leaves by more than 20%. Stop fertilization during winter dormancy. Pest and pest control strategies For common red spider diseases, you can spray matrine with 1000 times solution once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. (T-J) When brown spots appear in the early stage of the disease, immediately cut off the affected leaves and irrigate the roots with 600 times solution of mancozeb. Regular wiping of leaves with a damp cloth can effectively prevent the breeding of scale insects.
Through systematic management of the five dimensions of temperature, light, moisture, nutrition, and disease prevention, and regular observation of plant conditions, even newbies in maintenance can make the branches and leaves flourish. It is recommended to check the health of the root system every six months and replace the green hills with better air permeability in time to create a sustainable and good growth environment for the plants.
