The Happiness Tree, also known as pothos and evergreen, is a popular indoor foliage plant. It symbolizes auspiciousness and happiness, so it is loved by people. In order for the Tree of Happiness to thrive and bring greenery and vitality to the home, we need to understand its maintenance methods and precautions. This article will give you a detailed introduction to how to maintain the Happiness Tree and help you easily create a pleasant green space.
First, the maintenance method.
Proper light: The Tree of Happiness likes to diffuse light and avoid direct sunlight. Place it indoors in a well-lit place, such as near a window or balcony, but avoid strong midday sunlight. If it is left in a shady environment for a long time, the leaves of the Happy Tree will lose their luster, affecting the ornamental value.
Proper watering: The Happy Tree prefers a moist environment, but too much watering can easily lead to root rot. During the growing period, keep the soil moist to avoid standing water. Water thoroughly each time and wait for the soil surface to dry a little before watering the next time. In winter, water evaporation is slow, and the frequency of watering should be appropriately reduced.
Proper fertilization: Happiness trees need adequate nutrients during the growing season. Apply compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer once a month to meet its growth needs. When fertilizing, the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application" should be followed to avoid excessive concentration leading to "burning" plants.
Temperature and humidity: The suitable growth temperature for the Happy Tree is 15-25, avoid too high or too low temperature. When the room is dry, you can increase the humidity of the air by spraying or placing a basin of water to keep the leaves of the happy tree green.
2. Precautions.
Avoid pests and diseases: Regularly inspect the leaves and branches of the Happy Tree, and take timely measures to prevent and control pests and diseases once they are found. Common pests and diseases include aphids, red spiders, etc., which can be sprayed with corresponding pesticides.
Pruning & Shaping Trees: The Happy Tree grows quickly and is prone to cluttered branches. In order to maintain its aesthetically pleasing shape, regular pruning and shaping are required. When pruning, it is necessary to remove diseased branches, overly dense branches and long branches to keep the happy tree in a healthy growth state.
Repotting and turning the soil: As the Happiness Tree grows, the original pot may not be able to meet the development of its root system. Therefore, it is necessary to repot and turn the soil in a timely manner. When repotting, choose a slightly larger pot and add new soil. Soil turning is to remove the old soil on the surface and replace it with new fertile soil to promote the growth of the happy tree.
Avoid improper placement: The happy tree should not be placed in the air conditioning outlet, radiator and other positions, so as not to be affected by the alternation of cold and heat, resulting in poor growth. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid placing the tree of happiness in an overcrowded or shady corner, so as not to affect its normal growth and ornamental effect.
As long as you master the key elements such as proper light, watering, fertilization, temperature and humidity, while paying attention to pest and disease control, regular pruning and shaping, and timely repotting and soil replacement, you can make the Happy Tree thrive and bring greenery and vitality to your home.
