soilThe best soil for Mexican cycads is loose, fertile sandy soil. When repotting, you need to use coarse-grained stones, broken tiles, etc. as a drainage layer at the bottom of the pot, and add 2 to 3 horseshoe slices and cake fertilizer as base fertilizer. fertilizerDuring the more vigorous growth period in summer, you can apply a thin layer of decomposed cake fertilizer water, with a frequency of 1 to 2 times a month. You can apply some "black alum water" when applying top dressing, which can make the green leaves shiny and green. temperatureThe Mexican cycad prefers sunlight. It is recommended to place it in a place where it can receive direct sunlight during the seedling stage and in spring and summer. Remember not to expose it to the sun for long periods of time. Wait until the new leaves grow out before moving it indoors for viewing. Note that if the temperature drops below zero in winter, it is best to move it indoors. WateringDuring the growing season of the plant, the soil should be kept moist, but it is best not to have waterlogging. When the temperature is high in summer, spray water on the leaves appropriately to keep them bright and dark green. In winter, the soil should be a little drier, otherwise root rot is likely to occur. PrecautionsMexican cycads are generally less susceptible to diseases and pests. If there is a beetle infestation, it is best to use manual scrubbing to drive away the insects. If the leaves turn yellow, it is recommended to spray them with 1% ferrous sulfate dilution. In addition, the environment must be kept well-lit, ventilated, clean and tidy. |
