Fig habit
The scientific name of banyan is actually banyan, which is native to tropical Africa. When it comes to plants in tropical areas, everyone should feel something. Generally like warmth, lights and light. Therefore, Ficus microcarpa is well cultivated in warm areas in the south, especially in coastal areas of Taiwan Province Province, Hainan and Fujian, where the winter temperature is higher than 5 degrees. Raising banyan trees is basically no problem. You can plant as many as you want. It is good to have heating in places below 0 degrees in winter. Potted plants can be kept indoors, and it is difficult to raise them in areas without heating. As long as it's cold, the leaves will fall out and you can only worry. The leaves of banyan trees are warm and moist, which need to be watered and sprayed in time, especially in the heating room in winter. If there is no water, the leaves will fall off, but if too much water is poured, the roots will rot. We should grasp the degree according to our own situation. So you may think it's not specific. Learn from the maintenance experience of a flower friend "Wqsby" and see how she raised a 0.4m banyan tree to more than 2m in less than a year ~
In this way, the banyan tree grew to 2 meters high at 1.
1, apply fertilizer once every half month.
. Some flower friends reported that the banyan trees raised at home did not grow new leaves, probably because the fertility did not keep up. Wqsby said that her family's flowers here show that phosphorus 2 is generally used as phosphate fertilizer to promote flowers before use. In fact, it also has potassium, which can promote the growth of leaves and branches. Banyan is a foliage plant, and spraying phosphorus is also effective. Huayou Wasby insists on spraying phosphorus 2 once a week all the year round because her home is warm and ventilated all the year round. In winter, if there are many rainy days and the ventilation is not good, it is recommended to fertilize once every half month, stop in winter and rainy days, and continue the operation if there is heating in winter.
2. Lighting equipment
Qin can't be exposed to the sun, just put it in a place where the sunlight is scattered indoors. In this place of Huayou Wasby's home, you can only get 1-2 hours of sunshine every morning, and the leaves are oily and green, and grow very fast. Although banyan is a tropical plant, it doesn't need strong light. On the contrary, if exposed to the sun for too long, the leaves will turn yellow. Wqsby moved this banyan tree outside to bask in the sun before, which was obviously more "awkward".
Step 3: Fall leaves
The leaves of banyan trees are very big and hard in a healthy state. If you touch them, the reasons may be: lack of water; Too much water; It's already cold. Without water, leaves will dry and turn yellow, while with too much water, leaves will become soft and rotten. If the temperature drops, look at the weather forecast. According to the above three situations, judge the specific reasons for the leaves of banyan trees to fall off, and water them as soon as they are dry; If there is too much water, move it to the windowsill and balcony to strengthen evaporation. If it is serious, change it. When the temperature drops, move to a warm place to avoid cold wind blowing.
4. The leaves are spotted.
The leaves of banyan trees are very big and it is easy to grow spots. There are many reasons, such as bacterial infection, sunburn, getting caught in the rain or being eaten by insects after spraying water. The biggest possibility is bacterial infection. Pay attention to strengthen ventilation. You can wipe the leaves with carbendazim solution and disinfect them to prevent further infection. If you get sunburned, you can only protect yourself from the sun. If there are bugs to catch, spray them and wipe them with medical alcohol.
5. What should I do if I grow too tall?
Just like the banyan tree in the flower friend Wqsby's house. It grows to the height of the roof at a glance, and it can't squat in the house, so it can only be cut short. Pruning banyan trees depends on personal preference. Keep a separate main pole and leave more branches and leaves on it, which will make the home more tidy.
6. Reproduction
Banyan trees can be cut, and hydroponics is the most convenient way. Some flower lovers can also insert leaves into water to take root, but it grows slowly.
After hydroponics takes root, how can it be changed into soil culture? There is a simple way to add a little sand to the water every day. When the sand submerges the roots, the water is slowly absorbed, which can almost adapt to the sand environment and then transplanted into the soil after half a month.
7. Winter
Qin is afraid of cold, so keep warm in winter and don't blow cold wind, or the leaves will fall off soon. If it's below 8 degrees, you have to move indoors. There is no heating in winter, so put it on Nanyang terrace and window sill to keep warm in the sun. Ultraviolet rays are weak in winter, so it is not easy to get sunburned. As for the banyan tree in the greenhouse, we should pay attention to moisturizing, because it evaporates quickly and needs to be watered in time. If you are not free, put a pot of water next to the flowerpot to improve the air humidity. It's safer to stay away from radiators.
