Duck palm wood is a common indoor ornamental plant, and its unique form and green foliage add a natural beauty to the home. In order to make the duck palm wood grow beautifully, the following points need to be paid attention to when pruning and planting:
Pruning: Remove dead leaves: As the duck palm grows, the leaves at the bottom may turn yellow. In order to maintain the beauty and health of the plant, these dead leaves need to be removed in time.
Pruning the branches: The branches of the duck palm wood will grow gradually, and in order to maintain its appearance, the branches can be pruned appropriately. When pruning, you can cut it to the ideal length, generally 20-30 cm is appropriate.
Remove weak branches: If there are too many weak branches growing on the duck palm wood, you can cut them off to make the plant healthier and more lush.
Adjust the height: If the duck paw wood grows too tall, you can cut it short to make the overall height appropriate. After pruning, the incision can be covered with soil to reduce water loss.
Planting: Light: Duck paw wood needs plenty of light, and is best placed on a balcony or indoors in a well-lit area. However, when the sun is strong in summer, you need to pay attention to shade and avoid sun exposure.
Temperature: Duck palm wood is suitable for growing in a warm environment, and the growth temperature is generally between 15-25. During the cold winter months, it needs to be moved indoors to keep it warm.
Watering: Duck paw wood needs to keep the soil moist, but it should not be overwatered. Before watering, you can touch the surface of the soil with your hands and water it if it is dry. In winter, the amount of watering needs to be reduced to avoid root damage caused by over-wetting the soil.
Fertilization: In order to make the duck palm wood grow better, it can be fertilized properly. Generally, organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer is applied once a month to provide adequate nutrition. However, care should be taken not to over-fertilize the plants so as not to cause harm to the plants.
Repotting: As the duck palm wood grows, the original pot may no longer be enough. In order to provide a better environment for the plants to grow, it is recommended to change the pots every two years. When repotting, you can choose a pot that is slightly larger than the original pot, and remove the plant from the original pot, prune the root system and replant it.
Pest control: Duck palm wood may be attacked by pests and diseases during the growth process. In order to protect the health of plants, it is necessary to pay attention to the state of plants, and if there are signs of pests and diseases, take timely measures**.
In short, in order to make the duck palm wood grow beautifully and healthily, it is necessary to prune regularly and pay attention to the light, temperature, watering, fertilization, repotting and pest control during planting. As long as you take care of it, I believe that duck palm wood will definitely add a beautiful green to your home.
