Dear friends, do you also think that the green plant of the fortune tree is very tall, but it is confusing to raise it?Don't worry, today I will popularize the breeding methods and watering skills of the fortune tree, and ensure that you can easily become a green planter!
1. Pot selection and soil mixing
First of all, it is very important to choose a pot with good air permeability. It is recommended to use clay pots or clay pots to ensure that the soil moisture is moderate even if the water evaporates quickly.
In terms of soil, the Fortune Tree prefers loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Garden soil, humus soil and river sand can be mixed in a ratio of 2:2:1, and some well-rotted organic fertilizer can be added, so that the soil is both nutritious and breathable.
2. Watering skills
Fortune trees have higher water requirements, but they should not be watered too often. In general, the frequency of watering should be decided according to the season and weather conditions.
Spring and autumn are the peak growing seasons for the Fortune Tree, so it is sufficient to water it every 3-4 days. In summer, the temperature is high, and the water evaporates quickly, so you can water it once a day in the morning and once in the evening. In winter, you should reduce the frequency of watering, usually once a week.
In addition, it should be noted that each watering should be done thoroughly, not just one layer on the surface. At the same time, be careful not to let the potting soil accumulate water, so as not to cause root rot.
3. Fertilization method
Fortune trees like fertilizer, but fertilizer should be done in moderation and not over-fertilization. Generally speaking, it is enough to apply well-rotted organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer once a month. During the peak growing season, you can increase the number of fertilization, but be careful not to burn the roots at a concentration that is not too high.
4. Light and ventilation
Fortune trees prefer a sunny environment, but should also avoid direct sunlight. In spring and autumn, the fortune tree can receive full sunlight;In summer, it should be properly shaded;In winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm and put it in a well-lit place indoors.
Ventilation is also important, and keeping the air circulating is conducive to the growth of the fortune tree. So try not to put the fortune tree in a closed room.
5. Pest control
Fortune trees are susceptible to pests such as aphids and red spiders. Once signs of pests and diseases are found, measures should be taken to prevent and control them in time. Biological control or chemical agents can be used for control. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to maintaining environmental hygiene and reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases.
