What are the cultivation methods and precautions of Mexican iron tree?

Mexican iron tree cultivation method

The Mexican cycad is an evergreen plant. There are generally three ways to propagate it, namely, seed propagation, division propagation and cutting propagation. The growth rate is relatively fast and the survival rate is relatively high. However, seed propagation requires harvesting seeds before planting.

The Mexican cycad prefers a warm and humid growing environment and requires sufficient sunlight during maintenance, which is conducive to its growth. When planting, loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic sandy loam is generally used, and a suitable temperature environment is also required.

Watering method

In spring and autumn, the soil of the Mexican cycad needs to be kept moist and water should be sprayed on the leaves. During the growing season, the amount of watering can be increased appropriately, but in winter, watering needs to be controlled.

Fertilization method

The Mexican dracaena likes fertilizer, so during the growing season, it needs to be fertilized once a month. Liquid fertilizer can be used, but be careful not to touch the roots, otherwise yellow leaves will appear.

Precautions for the cultivation of Mexican iron tree

When caring for the Mexican dracaena, you need to be careful and place it in a well-ventilated place for care, because this can reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests. When diseases and pests occur, you need to use drugs to treat it in time.
