The volcanic ficus plant is a common indoor foliage plant that is loved by people for its unique way of growing and beautiful leaves. The maintenance of volcanic ficus plants needs to pay attention to the following points:
1.Light: Volcanic ficus plants prefer ample scattered light, but are not tolerant of direct glare. During the curing process, it should be placed in a well-lit place without direct sunlight, such as window sills, balconies, etc. If there is not enough light, the growth of the plant will be affected, and the leaves may become yellow-green or even fall off. Therefore, reasonable light is the key to ensure the healthy growth of ficus plants.
2.Moisture: Volcanic ficus plants prefer a humid environment and have high water requirements. During the curing process, keep the soil moist, but not too moist, so as not to cause root rot. Pay attention to the appropriate amount of watering to avoid stagnant water. In addition, the air humidity can be increased by spraying to keep the leaves of the plant moist.
3.Temperature: Ficus volcanic plants are adaptable and can tolerate low temperatures, but in the process of maintenance, it is necessary to try to maintain a suitable temperature. In general, a room temperature between 15-30 degrees Celsius is preferable. In winter, it is necessary to pay attention to heat preservation to avoid freezing damage to plants; In summer, it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation and cooling to avoid high temperature causing plant growth to be hindered.
4.Fertilizer: Volcanic ficus plants grow faster and have a greater demand for nutrients. During the maintenance process, fertilizer should be applied regularly to ensure the nutrients of the plants**. Generally, a well-rotted organic fertilizer or a special foliage plant fertilizer is applied every half a month. When fertilizing, it is necessary to pay attention to dilution to avoid burning the roots with too high concentration.
5.Pruning: The branches of the volcanic ficus plant grow faster and tend to grow more side branches. In order to keep the plant beautiful and healthy, regular pruning is required. When pruning, pay attention to preserving the main trunk and cut off the branches that are too dense to keep the plant ventilated and transparent. At the same time, it is also necessary to cut off the branches of pests and diseases in time to prevent the spread of pests and diseases.
6.Pest control: Volcanic ficus plants may be infested by pests and diseases during the maintenance process. The growth of plants should be checked regularly, and pests and diseases should be dealt with in time. Special pesticides can be used for spraying, but follow the instructions for use to avoid harm to the plant.
In short, the maintenance of volcanic ficus plants needs to pay attention to light, moisture, temperature, fertilizer, pruning, and pest control. Only by doing a good job in these aspects can we ensure the healthy growth of volcanic ficus plants and make them a beautiful landscape for indoor greening.
