Light adjustment, watering management, fertilization skills, pruning, environmental factors, pest control, Yushu, as one of the representatives of indoor ornamental plants, is deeply loved by most flower lovers. During the maintenance process, some flower lovers will find that the leaves of Yushu are getting bigger and bigger, which not only affects its appearance, but also may affect its growth. How to make the leaves of Yushu smaller? This article will reveal professional maintenance skills for you, so that you can easily realize your wish to make Yushu leaves smaller. Light adjustment Yushu is a light-loving plant, but too much direct sunlight will cause the leaves to become larger. During the maintenance process, the light should be adjusted appropriately and the Yushu should be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light to avoid direct sunlight for a long time, which can not only meet its growth needs, but also effectively control the leaf enlargement. Watering management Yushu is drought-tolerant, but excessive watering will cause the leaves to become larger. When watering, the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet" should be followed. After the soil surface is dry, watering should be carried out. When watering, try to water thoroughly to avoid water accumulation and maintain air circulation, which is conducive to water evaporation and prevents the leaves from becoming larger. Fertilization skills Reasonable fertilization is an important part of controlling the size of Yushu leaves. During the growing season, compound fertilizers can be applied once a month, mainly nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. When fertilizing, pay attention to controlling the amount and avoiding excessive amounts. During the fertilization process, Properly increasing the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers will help control the leaf size. Appropriate pruning shape can make the leaves of Yushu smaller. During the growing season, Yushu can be pruned appropriately to cut off long and weak branches to maintain the appearance of the tree. After pruning, plant growth regulators, such as paclobutrazol, can be sprayed to inhibit leaf growth. Environmental factors The growth environment of Yushu will also affect the size of leaves. Maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity will help control the size of leaves. In the high temperature season in summer, appropriately reduce the indoor temperature and maintain ventilation; in the low temperature season in winter, pay attention to keep warm and avoid The temperature is too low. Pest and pest control can also cause Yushu leaves to grow larger. Inspect Yushu regularly and prevent pests and diseases found in a timely manner. Biopesticides or low-toxic pesticides can be used to avoid using highly toxic pesticides to avoid causing harm to Yushu.
Through the above six maintenance skills, I believe you have mastered the method to make the leaves of Yushu smaller. During the maintenance process, you should also pay attention to observing the growth status of Yushu and adjust the maintenance measures in a timely manner. I wish you a beautiful and healthy Yushu!
