First, the method of raising iron in Yemen
1. Soil: The soil is humus soil with good drainage and good acidity.
2. Water: The demand for water in yemen iron is not great. Generally, it is advisable to water when dry and wet alternate. The interval is uncertain, but it has certain rules in a constant environment, but it needs personal experience. In addition, the water quality should be kept clean.
3. Light: I like semi-shade, and I can tolerate shade, but long-term maintenance in shade places is not conducive to plant health. It is best to put it in a bright and scattered place, avoid direct sunlight in summer, and avoid the leaves from being burned by the sun and turning yellow or white. If there is too little light, the leaves will be gray-green, and the brightness will be insufficient, and the basal leaves will turn yellow, especially for striped varieties. Under the condition of low light for a long time, the color will become lighter or disappear, thus losing its ornamental value.
4. Temperature: high temperature resistance, not cold resistance. Generally, you can shade properly in summer. The growth temperature is about 20-30 degrees Celsius, and the dormancy temperature is generally 65438 03 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius in winter, the leaves will turn yellow or wither.
5. Pruning: When the growth of yemen iron is too high and only the lower leaves are left, it can be shortened according to the viewing angle, and the cut upper branches can be cut into river sand or vermiculite for cultivation and take root to form new plants. Since there are no leaves to evaporate water, the branches below should be watered less or less, and kept in the semi-sunny or sunny place. After the leaf buds grow, nitrogen fertilizer should be combined with watering to promote the growth of leaves. The plants grown by pruning are not only beautiful in appearance, but also plump and beautiful.
6. Cleaning: It should be noted that yemen iron leaves can be cleaned once every ten days and a half months to ensure the cleanliness of yemen iron leaves and avoid some bacterial diseases.
7. Pot changing: The pot changing time in yemen iron is generally in spring. According to the plant size of yemen iron, we can choose a suitable pot to change pots. When changing pots, you can subtract the branches above, and after a while, modern branches will grow, which look very symmetrical and rich.
Second, the Yemen iron cattle feeding matters needing attention
1, 50-60% shading is better for illumination and avoids direct glare. Indoor potted yemen iron should be placed in a well-lit place. Insufficient light will make the leaves fade, and the leaves are slender and wavy.
2. Use fertile loam or humus as cultivation substrate, and the drainage is good.
3, yemen iron should pay attention to good ventilation, keep the air relative humidity above 80%.
4. Use organic fertilizer, such as decomposed peanut bran or human excrement as manure to fertilize yemen iron, and at the same time cooperate with ternary foliar fertilizer, 3-4 times a month.
5. Fertilization is mainly based on ternary compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and one element is not suitable for single application. You can also spray foliar fertilizer outside the roots, such as spraying 0. 1-0.2% urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every half month.
