The soil for planting duck foot wood is required to be deep, loose and fertile. Generally, rotten leaf soil, peat soil and garden soil are used for family potting, and 1 /4 of river sand or perlite are mixed evenly. In order to ensure the fertility of the soil, a small amount of cake fertilizer can be added to the soil as the base fertilizer.
Select healthy seedlings with developed and complete roots, and plant them in a pot before germination in late autumn or spring.
Before planting, a layer of rubble shall be placed on the bottom of the container, a small amount of nutrient soil shall be added, and a small amount of soil root shall be added after the plant is put into the flowerpot to closely combine with the soil. Then water and compact the soil. After the new plants are planted, they should be placed in the half shade for a week, and then gradually transferred to the sunshine for normal management.
Duck foot wood grows well in the environment with high air humidity and sufficient soil moisture. For daily maintenance, pay attention to supplement water in time, but do not accumulate water, otherwise it will cause a lot of leaves. Pay attention to water control under low temperature in winter.
If the duck foot wood is maintained in a plastic flowerpot, it should be drained in time. When watering, it should be watered in time without drying out, and the soil should be kept moist at any time. When the weather is dry, spray around the plants. Avoid rainy season in rainy season.
Duck feet like a half shade environment. It's better to keep them in a place full of bright scattered light, so it's better to put a basin at home. As long as the light at home is bright, you can enjoy it for a long time. In winter, you can move to the south window, and in spring and autumn, you can move the flowerpot to the outdoor for a period of time with good ventilation, but you should pay attention to the proper shade, so as to avoid the sun exposure leading to the yellow leaves.
Duck foot wood is not resistant to cold. In winter, the room temperature should be kept above 10 ℃. If the room temperature is lower than 8 ℃ for a long time, the leaves will gradually wither and yellow. If it is lower than 0 ℃, the leaves will fall off. Therefore, the temperature in the room should be well controlled in the most difficult winter.
The duck foot wood needs to be changed once a year in spring. If the plastic basin is used, the soil should be slightly loose.
The growth of duck foot is fast, and it is easy to sprout long branches. It needs to be reshaped and pruned frequently to keep the plant shape neat and beautiful. Duck foot wood, which has been preserved for many years, has perennial old branches, and its plant shape is too large. It can be re cut in combination with basin change every year when new buds germinate, and the branches, leaves and old roots can be cut.
If the duck foot wood is obtained by cutting, do not rush to change the basin for forming first, and then change the basin after the growth is obvious. Generally, 2-3 grandmothers change pots, and then change pots once a year.
Create a comfortable maintenance environment. Ensure proper temperature, drought and flood, timely watering, timely spraying water to the leaves in summer, and ensure sufficient lighting time.
