Brazilian wood potted plants have become many homes and offices because of their unique leaf texture and vitality. The darling, how to properly maintain the Brazilian wood potted plants and make them come to life at home? The following is a detailed guide to the maintenance of Brazilian wood potted plants. Light Brazilian wood prefers semi-cloudy environments, but it also requires appropriate amount of light. When maintaining indoors, it should be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light to avoid direct sunlight. If it is in the dark for a long time, the leaves of Brazilian wood may become dull. According to Home Gardening magazine, Brazilian wood requires at least 3-4 hours of scattered light every day. Watering Brazilian wood requires high water, but too much watering can easily lead to root rot. When watering, the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet" should be followed. When the soil surface is dry, watering should be carried out again. Water must be watered thoroughly, but do not accumulate water. According to seasonal changes, the watering frequency can be appropriately increased in spring and autumn, and less watering during high temperatures in summer to avoid water evaporation too quickly. Fertilization Brazil wood grows vigorously and has a high demand for fertilizer. During the growing season (spring and autumn), compound fertilizer can be applied once a month. When fertilizing, pay attention to the fertilizer concentration to avoid excessive fertilization leading to root burning. During the winter dormant period, reduce the number of fertilization times to maintain soil fertility. The main purpose of pruning Brazilian wood is to maintain its beautiful plant shape. During the growing season, branches can be trimmed appropriately to remove withered leaves and promote the growth of new buds. Sharp scissors should be used when pruning to avoid damaging the plants. According to "Horticulture Science" magazine statistics, the pruned Brazilian wood will grow faster. Pest and insect pest control Brazil wood may encounter pest problems during its growth. Common pests and diseases include leaf spot disease, red spider, etc. The control methods are as follows: 1. Leaf spot disease: After the diseased leaves are discovered, cut off and burn them in time, and spray them with Bordeaux mixture and other fungicides for prevention and control.
2. Red spider: After discovering red spider, it can be sprayed with acaricides while maintaining indoor ventilation to reduce the reproduction of red spider. Temperature and humidity The suitable growth temperature for Brazilian wood is 20-30 ° C, and the temperature in winter should not be lower than 15 ° C. When maintaining indoor maintenance, air circulation should be maintained to avoid too high or too low temperatures. Brazilian wood likes higher humidity. Increase indoor humidity by spraying water or placing hydroponics plants.
The maintenance of brazilian wood potted plants requires attention to aspects such as light, watering, fertilization, pruning, pest control, temperature and humidity. As long as the correct maintenance methods are mastered, brazilian wood can thrive at home and add a touch of vitality to your home environment. I hope this maintenance guide will help you.
