Question 1: What are the feng shui effects of duck palm tree? Duck palm tree is also called duck foot tree, fortune tree and small-leaf hand tree. Because of its auspicious name, beautiful leaf shape, evergreen all year round, it is used by many people. Loved by flower lovers. The breeding method is not demanding, but some people cannot raise it well. I will share my breeding experience with you.
1. Breeding precautions: 1. Light and temperature requirements. It is easy to breed and can withstand certain high and low temperatures. It likes a semi-shady growth environment and grows best in a bright and well-ventilated room. As long as the indoor environment can ensure about 4 hours of sunlight per day, it will thrive. The suitable temperature for growth is between 15 and 25 degrees. In winter, it can grow normally if it is above 5 degrees.
For varieties with yellow and white markings, if the lighting time is short, the lighting is too weak, or nitrogen fertilizer is applied excessively, the markings will be blurred and the original characteristics will be lost, so sufficient lighting time must be ensured.
3. Watering method. The duck palm tree has a certain degree of drought tolerance and moisture tolerance, but that does not mean there are no limits. It is said that its drought tolerance and moisture tolerance are compared with some flowers. It should be kept dry and watered in time, and it should not be too waterlogged. Generally, you need to water more frequently in summer, because the climate is dry and the temperature is high in summer, which requires more water. You can water it once a day to keep the pot soil moist. In spring and autumn, water only once every 3 or 4 days.
4. Use soil and fertilize. During the active growing season, apply liquid fertilizer every 1 to 2 weeks. The pot soil is suitable to be prepared with peat soil, leaf humus soil, perlite, and a small amount of base fertilizer.
2. Reproduction methods. I have summarized two successful experiences, one is cutting and the other is direct division.
1. Cutting. Take a branch that has grown well for two years, cut it with scissors, cut it into a slope, and insert it into the prepared pot. The soil should be firmly pressed
Pour enough water, place it in a shaded place with a suitable temperature, and keep watering. Suitable, no drought
After the cuttings are made, do not touch the branches that have been cut, just drain a few leaves. It will take about a month to take root and sprout.
2. Divide the plants directly. For the more vigorously growing duckweed, you will find small roots growing on its branches near the main trunk and close to the soil in the pot, some of which even penetrate deep into the soil. Such branches can be directly divided and planted in another pot. .
Use a wallpaper knife and cut it slightly below the root. Even if it is a plant with a heel, it can be placed in another pot. It will grow faster than the cutting because its roots are already early. Once grown, the seedlings will return faster and new leaves will grow soon.
