How to raise the newly purchased Kirin Palm
Kirin Palm is favored by meaty lovers for its unique fleshy stem shape, but the maintenance of newly purchased plants is particularly critical. From environmental adaptation to daily management, this article systematically analyzes the key points of cultivating Kirin Palm to help novices easily master the survival code of this desert beauty. Management of Kirin Palm Environmental Adaptation Period Light Conversion Skills The newly acquired Kirin Palm requires 15-20 days of slow seedling stage. It is recommended to place it on the east-facing window sill to receive soft morning light, and manually rotate the potted plant 45° daily to ensure uniform light reception. Be careful to avoid direct strong light at noon, and use it with a sunshade net with a light transmittance of 60%. Temperature and humidity control maintains a constant temperature environment of 22-25℃ that is most conducive to plant adaptation, and the temperature difference between day and night is controlled within 5℃. The ceramsite paving method is used to keep the humidity of the local small environment ≤40%, which can be monitored in real time by electronic temperature and hygrometer. The scientific watering plan for the daily maintenance system of Kirin Palm is the original "three observation methods": observe the basin soil (the surface layer is 3cm dry), observe the stems and leaves (slightly shrunk), and observe the basin weight (reduced by 1/3). It takes 10-12 days to irrigate it thoroughly in spring and autumn, shortened to 7 days in summer but reduced the amount of water per time, and used the dipping basin method to supply water once a month in winter. Advanced light management During the growth period, direct light needs to be guaranteed for 4 hours per day. The "stepped enhancement method" can be used: 2 hours per day for the first week, and increased by 30 minutes per week until the standard is reached. Use a sunshade net to filter 30% of the light intensity during high temperatures in summer. The precision fertilization strategy recommends using slow-release fertilizer with N-P-K=5-10-5, and embedding 5-8 grains along the pot edge every 45 days from April to September every year. When changing pots, mix in 10% decomposed sheep manure as base fertilizer, and remember that the new roots are not allowed to come into contact with fertilizer within 3 months. The best basin changing period is 10 days after Qingming Festival, using red pottery pots (3-5cm larger than the original pots) and granular soil (red jade soil: volcanic rock: coconut bran =5:3:2). Keep 1/3 of the soil during operation, dry it for 24 hours after pruning the roots before placing it in the pot. After changing the pot, place it in a scattered light place for 2 weeks, during which watering is strictly prohibited.
Through three stages of systematic maintenance, the survival rate of Kirin Palm can reach more than 95%. Remember the "three control tips": control water to prevent rotten roots, control light to maintain shape, and control fertilizer to promote health. Regularly observe the status of the plants and adjust the maintenance plan in a timely manner. Your Kirin Palm will surely show the unique beauty of the desert.
