The soil should be loose and fertile, suitable for all plants and flowers raised at home. If you want it to flourish, you must first adjust the soil for it. Many friends who just started planting flowers didn't pay attention to this piece at all, so they dug up some soil with no nutrients and high viscosity at random and planted plants in flowerpots. Although they won't die, they never grow well. Although the regulations on soil are not strict, duckweed can thrive in loose and fertile soil. If the soil permeability is poor and nutrients are scarce, plants will grow slowly and the branches will be weak. If there is culture soil, it can be planted directly with culture soil. If there is no culture soil, some humus soil or humus soil can be collected in the forest, dried for a few days, disinfected and dissolved, and then used to raise palms.
The water supply should be sufficient, and the duck's paw tree can resist drought. Even if the soil in the basin is completely dry, it is not too late to water it again. However, if plants want to grow vigorously and sprout new branches and leaves, it is impossible to make the basin soil too dry. Long-term water shortage not only weakens the growth of branches, but also tends to turn yellow. So in the case of palm at home, you can't let it cross too much water and keep enough water to make it grow more buds.
Fertilize regularly. Although duckweed is a green leaf plant, it also likes fertilization. In the case of sufficient fertilizer and water supply, the branches and leaves grow faster, the branches are stout, and the leaves are oily green and bright. On the other hand, these duckweed potted plants, which are usually watered without fertilization, will get worse and worse in the middle and late stages, and the nutrients in the pot soil will become less and less, and the leaves will turn black and no new buds will grow.
These palm trees, which have not flourished for a long time and can't grow new branches and leaves, should be replanted as soon as possible, the old and weak roots should be cut off, and then loose and fertile nutrient soil should be planted, and some base fertilizer should be applied in the basin, so that they can soon return to full growth. In the middle and late maintenance process, applying some compound fertilizer or fertilizer solution every month can flourish.
Duckweed, like a well-lit environment, is a very shade-tolerant green plant, which can grow in an environment without light. However, if it is short of light for a long time, the plants will flourish, the branches will grow long and thin, and the plant shape will become more and more scattered. In addition to shading it when the light is too strong in summer, it is best not to let it lack light in other seasons, and to maintain it in a sunny place, so that the branches grow thicker and the plants are more compact and tangible.
Regular pruning and plastic surgery The duckweed potted plants raised at home often grow in a mess, mostly because they have not been pruned for a long time. It grows very fast, especially under the premise of sufficient fertilizer and water, and many side branches and leaves will grow in a year. If you let it grow without pruning, it will make the plant lose its ornamental value. During the growing period, we should always prune and reshape, cut off these dead branches and weak branches, and cut off some branches and leaves that grow too high and too long, so that the plants can maintain a plump and even tree shape and be more ornamental.
