What are the cultivation methods and precautions of the thousand-year-old wood

Introduction of Millennium Wood

The thousand-year-old wood generally refers to the red-edged dragon blood tree, which is a plant of the Agavaceae family and the genus Dracaena. The plant is 3-10 meters tall, with a gray-brown stem and clustered leaves with green in the middle. The racemes grow at the top of the stem or branches. Common methods of reproduction are cuttings and layering.

Method of cultivating millennium wood

The genus Aristolochia prefers a hot, humid and sunny environment. It is not cold-resistant. The suitable growth temperature is between 20-30 degrees. The temperature in winter should not be lower than 5 degrees. It is suitable for planting in loose, fertile and well-drained soil.

Watering method

The summer is hot and dry, so the elm tree has a greater demand for water and needs to be replenished in time. If the air humidity is too dry, the leaf edges will dry up. In winter, it requires very little water, so the potting soil should be relatively dry.

Fertilization method

The elm is a plant that likes fertilizer and needs to be fertilized frequently. Liquid fertilizer for foliage plants should be applied once a month. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently and the concentration of the fertilizer should not be too high, otherwise fertilizer damage will occur.

Pruning methods

During the growth period of the thousand-year-old wood, old, sick and dead branches should be pruned in time, and the withered and yellowed leaves should be cut off, retaining new and strong branches and normal leaves. They can also be pruned according to its overall shape to enhance its ornamental value.

Precautions for the cultivation of millennium wood

The elm tree prefers a semi-shaded environment and cannot tolerate strong sunlight exposure. If it is placed in complete darkness, the leaves will easily turn yellow and soften. The elm tree is also a very cold-intolerant plant. If the temperature in winter is below minus 10℃, it will easily die. The most suitable temperature for growth is 20-25℃, and it must not be below 4℃.

When planting the elm tree, the soil in the pot must be kept sufficiently moist during its growth period. If there is a lack of water, the leaves will become withered and yellow. However, if there is too much water and water accumulates, it will also cause the branches and leaves to fall off or the leaf tips to turn yellow.
