Tree strangler cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Tree stranglers generally grow in rotten branches and leaves, moist moss, and cracks in tree trunks. Because of their strong growth and reproduction capabilities, they have relatively low requirements for soil.

2. Water: It has a great demand for water and likes moist places. Adequate water absorption can promote its growth faster.

3. Nutrients: There is no need to deliberately fertilize the tree strangler. Generally, it relies on absorbing nutrients from tree trunks, branches, leaves, and mosses to survive. It also stores nutrients in itself to prevent it from surviving when the nutrient supply of the plant it parasitic on is insufficient.

4. Light: It likes sufficient light, and sufficient light absorption can make its roots grow healthily.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: Dense branches will affect ventilation, and long-term exposure to an unventilated environment will cause the stems and leaves to rot. At this time, its dense branches need to be pruned off. A transparent environment is more suitable for the growth of tree stranglers.

2. Reproduction: Generally, seeds are used for reproduction. Birds eat the fruits, which are then spread to various places through bird droppings. Therefore, tree strangler can grow parasitically everywhere thanks to its strong reproductive ability.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Dead branches and fallen leaves: It is a parasitic plant. When it does not receive sufficient light, it will have dead branches and fallen leaves. Therefore, when breeding, we must ensure that it absorbs sufficient light to avoid this phenomenon.

2. Pests: Although there are often small insect attacks, there is no need to be too nervous. Because its fruit is a favorite of birds, when it is attacked by insects during its growth period, the birds will peck the insects to kill them, so there is no need for excessive treatment.

IV. Other issues

1. How to survive the winter: Tree strangler can be cultivated all year round. There is no need to worry about frostbite caused by low temperatures in winter. As long as there is sufficient water, it can grow normally.

2. Whether it can be exposed to rain: It likes to grow in a humid environment. When it rains, it is washed by rain and the air humidity increases, which is more conducive to its growth, so it can be exposed to rain.
