How to cultivate Beaucarnea recurvata to grow quickly
Here are some tips on how to cultivate Beaucarnea recurvata to grow quickly, as well as information on the plant's care and precautions, for green plant enthusiasts. Please refer to the detailed introduction below.
Beaucarnea recurvata is a very popular succulent plant, belonging to the Dioscoreaceae family. It has a unique appearance, resembling a turtle shell, and is loved by many. Today, I will introduce some precautions for cultivating Beaucarnea recurvata.
1. Suitable soil
Beaucarnea recurvata has high requirements for soil, and is more suitable for sandy soil with moderate fertility and good drainage. The soil should not contain too much decomposed leaves, as this can easily cause root rot and slow growth. When planting, make sure to bury 1/3 of the plant's stem in the soil. The stem grows relatively fast and can be combined with red jade soil or vermiculite to increase soil nutrients.
2. Watering method
The watering method for Beaucarnea recurvata is simple. You can choose the immersion method or water thoroughly at once, following the "dry-wet" principle in summer. In winter, water every 4-7 days.
3. Fertilization method
Beaucarnea recurvata is more suited to light fertilization, with the frequency of use controlled and avoiding the use of too concentrated fertilizers. If it is a liquid fertilizer, it needs to be diluted in advance with water in a ratio of 1:50 or 1:75, and fertilize according to the plant's growth, generally once or twice a month.
4. Light
This plant prefers a semi-shaded environment, except for winter when the temperature is low and it needs more sunlight. In spring and autumn, Beaucarnea recurvata only needs to be placed in a place with scattered light. Its daily exposure to sunlight should not exceed 6 hours.
Beaucarnea recurvata is a plant that easily suffers from root rot. Excessive waterlogging can cause it to wither, so everyone should pay attention to the watering frequency. If the leaves turn yellow, it may be due to excessive fertilization. Reduce or stop fertilizing appropriately, and continue fertilizing only after the leaves return to a green state.
