Cultivation methods and precautions of Livistona

Cultivation methods and precautions of Livistona

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It likes to grow in relatively warm places, and the most suitable maintenance temperature is 20 degrees. The wintering temperature is minus one degree below zero. In many places in the south, plants can overwinter outdoors, but not in the north. The temperature in the north is too low in winter, so it is best to spend the winter indoors.

2. Watering: Watering is an essential part of its growth. It likes to grow in an environment with relatively high humidity, so it needs more watering during the cultivation process. Especially in summer, when the temperature is relatively high, you need to water it every day. In addition to watering the roots, you also need to water its branches and leaves.

3. Fertilization: Nitrogen fertilizer is an important nutrient for its growth and accounts for a large proportion. Therefore, N fertilizer should be used as the main nutrient when fertilizing, and the frequency of fertilization should be once a month. It needs to be watered after each fertilization. One reason is to allow the fertilizer to blend with the soil to facilitate plant absorption; the other is to avoid fertilizer damage.

4. Light: It needs sunlight to grow, but cannot accept strong light. The light in spring and autumn is not very strong, so the plant can be grown outdoors to receive sunlight throughout the day. After summer, you need to shade it or move it to a semi-shaded place to avoid strong light burning the plant.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by sowing. When sowing, keep it shallow, control the depth of each hole to less than three centimeters, keep the hole distance at twenty centimeters, put four seeds in each hole, water it sufficiently, and cover it with soil.

2. Peeling the palm leaves: The time for peeling the palm leaves is generally carried out in the month of planting, because the vitality is the strongest at this time and the success rate of peeling the palm leaves is the highest. Each time you peel the palm, you must leave the leaves of the third year. If you leave too many, it will hurt the heart of the plant and the plant will easily die.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: When the plant emerges from the ground, it is necessary to prevent borers. Borers will damage the heart of the plant's leaves, and in severe cases the plant will die. You can use omethoate to kill insects. Just pour the agent on the roots of the plants in the same way as applying fertilizer.

2. Yellowing of leaf needles: The yellowing of leaf needles of the fan palm is mostly caused by insufficient watering, and the watering frequency needs to be increased.

IV. Other issues

1. Edibility: Not edible, but can be used as medicine.

2. Fertilization is suitable for indoor cultivation: its plant body is large and not suitable for indoor maintenance.
