After buying sorrel, it should be placed in a place with good ventilation and soft light at about 20 C. for maintenance. At this time, do not rush to water, only when its soil is dry to water. Fertilization can be suspended because it temporarily does not use the nutrients in fertilizer. When it is fully adapted to the environment and begins to grow normally, it is enough to fertilize it.

1. Soil

Duckfoot wood does not have a high requirement for soil. If the soil quality is too poor when you just bought it back, you can change the soil, but try not to pat down the soil at the root and change the surrounding soil.Use soft and fertile soil to increase the permeability and drainage of the soil, if the soil quality of the self-contained soil ball is better, you can only change the pot, and it is better to add some thin fertilizer at the bottom.If the root is damaged when repotting, the soil and root should be disinfected in time to avoid infection.

2. Temperature and illumination

When you just bought it back, you should give it a comfortable environment, a well-ventilated environment with suitable temperature is more conducive to its growth.The average temperature of the environment is about 20 C, so as to avoid sunshine exposure, otherwise it may cause problems such as dry leaves.

3. Watering

It is better not to water too much when you first buy it. It is a water-loving plant, but at the beginning of adapting to the environment, its roots absorb water slowly. Too much watering will cause its roots to rot in water.After adapting to the environment, normal watering can be carried out, and watering can be carried out after the soil is dry.It can spray water properly to increase the humidity of leaves, which is conducive to the growth of plants.

4. Fertilization

Do not rush to fertilize when you first buy it, otherwise it may cause its roots to rot.After it adapts to the environment, it can regularly apply some decomposed fertilizer to promote its growth.You can also apply some liquid fertilizer appropriately, but do not apply a lot of fertilizer, so as not to cause root burning problems.

5. Trimming

Trim it in a timely manner.If the branches and leaves inside the plant are too dense, it is better to prune some branches and leaves to increase its internal ventilation and light transmission.Keep the tree in good shape by pruning off crooked branches and leaves and branches that are not growing well.
