In fact, Pu Kui has many names. Some people call it sunflower tree, others call it Pu Yekui. It is a kind of arbor plant with green leaves all year round. Because of its elegant crown posture and fan-shaped blades, it is deeply loved by the public. Next, Uncle Gardener will give you an all-round introduction from the growth habits, lighting, watering, pruning, fertilization and planting precautions of Pukui.
1, growing habits
Pukui is a plant that likes humidity and warmth. If the temperature is too low, it is easy to cause harm to its life, so it is most suitable to plant it in the southern environment where the temperature is higher than-1 Celsius. Usually more light can make it grow normally.
2. Lighting equipment
Although Pu Kui likes light, she can't be exposed to the sun, especially when the light intensity is high in summer, she should be properly shaded.
water
In hot summer, people and plants have great demand for water, and so does mallow. Therefore, in hot summer, it is necessary to water more and spray water on its leaves to improve the humidity of the surrounding air and better ensure the normal growth of its leaves. If you water more in summer, should you water less in winter? Yes, it's cold in winter, so it's not easy to lose water. We should control watering.
prune
In order to better maintain the ornamental value of mallow and improve its vitality, it is necessary to prune it properly, especially when new leaves grow, the old leaves and dead leaves should be removed. Of course, if you want to get a higher ornamental effect, you can cut some old Ye Xiu stems of mallow into different shapes to get all kinds of strange shapes.
5, fertilization
How to fertilize mallow? In fact, winter, spring and autumn are all the best growing seasons of Pukui, and water and fertilizer management should be well grasped in these three periods. Generally, the demand for nitrogen fertilizer is relatively large, so it is most appropriate to apply more nitrogen fertilizer once a month.
Pukui is a good tree, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't need management, so it can be put at will. When planting, you need to plant with root soil, not with bare seedlings, otherwise it will be difficult to survive. Because Pukui is relatively large, it is best to choose some large flowerpots for planting to avoid the damage to the root system caused by the second pot change in the later period.
With the arrival of autumn, the cold winter is not far away, and the winter maintenance of Pukui also needs attention. There is no need to water cattail in winter, and the growth ability of cattail in winter is relatively low, so the demand for fertility is relatively low and fertilization is not needed.
Pukui likes warm weather, so it is not suitable for planting in the north where the winter temperature is low, but if a friend really likes it, it can be placed in an indoor environment where the winter temperature is higher than 0℃, which can better ensure that it will not be frostbitten.
