Cycas mexicana is a new variety introduced from abroad in recent years, belonging to Cycas and Cycas. It is named after its country of origin, Mexico. Cycas mexicana has a stable plant type and slow growth, which is very suitable for layout in the courtyard, living room or home environment. For beginners, you may not know the specific breeding method of Cycas mexicana. The following is what I arranged.
Cultivation method of cycad mexicana
Basin soil requirements:
Rich and loose sandy loam is the best soil for potted plants. When turning the pot, use broken tiles and coarse-grained stones as the drainage layer at the bottom of the pot, apply 2 ~ 3 horseshoe pieces and cake fertilizer as the base fertilizer.
Rational fertilization:
During the vigorous growth period in summer, apply 1 ~ 2 times a month to fertilize the thin decomposed cake. If "black vitriol water" * * * ferrous sulfate * * is added to the topdressing, the leaf color will become dark green and shiny.
Temperature conditions:
Cycas mexicana likes sunshine. In spring and autumn, it is best to keep direct sunlight at seedling stage, but it is not suitable for exposure. When new leaves grow, they should be moved indoors for viewing. If it is below 0 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to move indoors for the winter.
Watering method:
During the spring and summer growth period, the basin should be kept moist, but it should not be waterlogged. When the weather is hot in midsummer, it is necessary to spray foliar water frequently to keep the leaves bright green. In winter, the basin soil should be properly dry, too wet and easy to rot.
Matters needing attention in the cultivation of Cycas mexicana
Mexican iron trunk is hard and Ye Jian, with less pests and diseases. But it is occasionally invaded by scale insects, so manual washing can be used to kill insects. Sometimes the leaves turn yellow and can be sprayed with 1% ferrous sulfate diluent. At the same time, we should pay attention to the place, ventilation, transparency, cleanliness and hygiene, which can prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases. In the Yangtze River valley, Cycas mexicana should be kept indoors in winter to prevent freezing injury.
Cycas mexicana geomantic omen
The most important position of the living room is called the financial position in Feng Shui, which is related to the prosperity, career and reputation of the family, so the layout and decoration of the financial position can not be ignored. The best position of the financial position is the diagonal position of the entrance to the living room, including the following three situations:
If the residential door opens to the left, the financial position is above the right diagonal;
If the residential door opens to the right, the financial position is above the left diagonal;
If the door of the house is opened in the middle, the financial position is above the left and right diagonal. Rich plants should be placed in the financial position, and the plants will continue to grow, so that the wealth of the family will continue to be strong and the wealth will be better. Therefore, it is most appropriate to put evergreen plants in the financial position, especially the kudzu vine, rubber tree, phellodendron amurense and Cycas brasiliensis with big leaves or thick leaves, but it should be noted that these plants should be planted with soil, not water.
