In some spaces at home, I always think of putting a pot of green plants, decorating the home, and bringing nature indoors, which is now a more sought after practice.
Aside from flower friends who like flowers, just for the home environment to raise some flowers in the indoor some friends,
You can start with a rubber tree.
Compared with those delicate and difficult to raise flowers and green plants, the rubber tree is inconspicuous, but under closer inspection, it is definitely worth buying, it is a versatile style of green plants, can adapt to any style of home environment.
The variety is also very rich, even if the free-range rubber tree is raised indoors, with different varieties and colors, it can also add color to the home environment.
However, raising rubber trees is not without worrying about anything, on the contrary, some mistakes are made, and the rotten roots will grow weakly, and even the proud big leaves will not grow well.
Mistake 1: The planting material is not breathable
The root system of the rubber tree is well developed, although for us, it is a good thing. However, if the planting method is not correct or the planting material used is not correct, the rubber tree is likely to be unable to grow.
Its root system is developed, shallow pots are definitely not suitable for planting, choosing a deep-mouth pot is the right choice, but a deep-mouth pot means that the depth of the planting material is also very deep.
The selected planting material must ensure the characteristics of looseness and breathability, otherwise once it causes stagnant water or stuffy roots, rotten roots and yellow leaves will become the norm.
That is to say, if the planting material is not good, not only the rubber tree will not be able to grow, but even when the time comes, you can't raise a beautiful big leaf.
Mistake two: lack of direct lighting
Are rubber trees shade tolerant? Is it shade-tolerant, can it be farmed for a long time in a place with good sunlight? Yes, too. But in such an environment, it can only be said that it is to feed, and the state is not optimal.
Rubber trees are shade-tolerant, but can not be blindly cultivated in semi-shade or places such as living rooms and study that scatter light well, rubber trees need some direct light. Sufficient light can make the leaves of the rubber tree shiny and the branches firm.
This is the most magical effect of light for rubber trees.
Just like the current season, it can be placed on the south side balcony to receive sufficient direct light, help it complete sufficient photosynthesis, accumulate nutrients, prepare for wintering, and also for its own growth.
Mistake three: Never wipe the blades
The leaves are the main carrier of photosynthesis of rubber trees, and the more adequate the photosynthesis, the thicker and brighter the leaves.
But if the rubber tree at home, the leaves are never wiped, and they are covered with dust, which not only affects the photosynthesis of the leaves, but also affects the respiration of the leaves, which is not good for the growth of the entire plant.
The right thing to do is to wipe the blades frequently.
In the process of wiping the leaves, it is okay to use a damp cotton cloth or wet paper towel, and you can also drip a few drops of lemon juice on it, which can play a good role in the leaves of the rubber tree.
Lemon juice contains relatively rich vitamins and other nutrients, which are preferred by rubber trees, and the leaves can directly complete the absorption, combined with photosynthesis, and directly complete the conversion of nutrients.
Mistake four: watering does not know the control
I'm most afraid that some friends will ask, how many days does my flowers water?
Watering flowers and green plants should be considered according to the size of the plant itself, variety characteristics, as well as the breeding environment, climate, region, etc., in order to know, and the frequency and amount of watering are constantly changing.
The phrase "watering for three years" comes from this, and the watering of rubber trees is naturally affected by these factors.
Before watering the rubber tree, you must first know its habits, see whether it is a water-loving plant or a drought-tolerant plant, and then develop a suitable watering plan according to its habits and other factors.
The watering of rubber trees is also greatly related to planting material and ventilation, after each watering, if you want to quickly control excess water, you need to ventilate more, so that the planting material quickly completes the dry and wet cycle.
Do not water by feeling, or water more, it is easy to have rotten roots and leaves.
Mistake 5: Not even fertilizer at home
It's not a small partner who likes to raise flowers, a few pots of rubber trees at home, may be to decorate the home, and really will not prepare some fertilizer,
This must not be able to raise rubber trees, flowers have life, naturally to "eat", just drinking water must not be able to raise.
In fact, when buying rubber trees, you can buy a jar of fertilizer by the way, which is not very expensive.
Like Huaduoduo No. 1 is very good. The fertilization method is very simple, and the nutrient effect is very good, which is worth starting.
Remember that fertilization should use Huaduoduo No. 1, but don't use Huaduoduo No. 2, rubber trees need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced fertilizer, and Huaduoduo No. 1 is.
Written at the end:
Rubber trees, it is very simple to feed, but to raise well, these five mistakes can not be made, otherwise rotten roots and leaves, it is not good to raise.
