Fragrant wood is a shrub or small tree of the genus Coptis chinensis in the sumac family, with gray bark, brown bark on twigs, and gray-yellow pubescent on young branches. The petioles are slightly pubescent, leathery, oblong or obovate-oblong. The flowers are small, purplish-red, sessile. The drupes are spherical and red when ripe. The seeds are ellipsoidal, soybean-like, yellowish-brown to yellowish-brown, with a few pink. The flowering period is March, and the fruit ripening period is from September to October. Because the leaves have an aromatic smell and can extract aromatic oils, fragrant wood is called "fragrant wood".
To raise fragrant wood, you need to pay attention to the following details:
1.Give plenty of light, at least 6-8 hours a day, and let the sun warm its leaves and allow them to thrive. 2.Water properly and avoid over-watering. When the soil is dry, water gently and make sure there are holes at the bottom of the pot that drain well to prevent standing water from causing root rot. 3.Reasonable fertilization, thin liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growth period, so that the fragrant wood can absorb enough nutrients and maintain a strong state. 4.Prune regularly to maintain your beautiful shape. Prune off the yellowed branches and leaves to keep the fragrant wood fresh and vibrant. 5.To prevent and control pests and diseases, once the signs of pests and diseases are found, it is necessary to take the best measures in time to protect the health of fragrant wood. 6.Replace the soil once a year to maintain soil fertility and permeability, and provide a good growth environment for fragrant wood. 7.Maintain a suitable temperature, 15-25 is best. Too cold or too hot will affect the growth of the fragrant wood, so it is important to maintain the right temperature. 8.Ferrous sulphate is regularly watered to maintain a slightly acidic soil environment. Ferrous sulphate helps to maintain soil acidity balance and promotes the growth of fragrant wood. 9.Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Therefore, make sure that there are holes at the bottom of the pot to drain well and avoid standing water. 10.Propagation by cuttings is possible. Choose healthy shoots for cuttings, so that the fragrant wood can flourish and pass on the beauty. By following these steps, the fragrant wood will thrive and reveal its unique charm.
