The dragon's blood tree, the name is domineering, the tree shape is tall and straight, the leaves are slender like a sword, it is not only beautiful and eye-catching at home, but also purifies the air, adsorbs formaldehyde and carbon dioxide, and can be called the "all-rounder" in the green plant world.
It is no wonder that it has become a favorite of many people, especially those urbanites who pursue the quality of life.
But this dragon's blood tree, looking majestic, is a "squeamish bag" when raised.
RecentA small group of people in Tianjin became a little popular because of a pot of "giant precious dragon's blood tree" - not well-raised, but lived!
The young man went to the flower market, fell in love with a pot of dragon's blood tree, the merchant said, this thing is long-lived, and live, the higher the value of the raising, he listened to it very moved, broke off the idea of spending 800 to buy a fortune tree, and spent 0 yuan to buy this pot of "high-grade dragon's blood tree".
What's even funnier is that this guy's maintenance process was jokingly called by netizens:"The whole network belongs to you the most tossed!"
Let's take a look!
The experience of this Tianjin netizen in raising trees can simply make a "Plant Conservation Confusion Award".
(1) "Listening to the wind is rain" type maintenance
When he first bought it, he rushed to search for strategies on the Internet, and saw that someone said "dragon's blood tree likes light", so he immediately took the tree to the balcony to expose it to the sun.
As a result, the leaves were not green for two days, and he brushed to "the new tree has to slow down the seedlings when it arrives at home, and it will die in the sun", so frightened that he dragged the tree back to the living room overnight, and deliberately placed it next to the TV to "avoid the light".
Netizens complained: "If this tree could speak, it is estimated that it would have scolded the street long ago - should I be allowed to dry it or not?" ”
(2) The water is all about "metaphysics"
When he heard that "watering should be dry and wet", he was stunned and picked out the soil until his knuckles turned white before he dared to water;
Later, I heard that "the dragon's blood tree is drought tolerant", so I simply did not water it for more than 10 days, and I panicked until the leaves drooped into a "rag".
The most amazing thing is that one day on a whim, I poured half a bottle of beer into the tree, which was called "supplementing nutrition", but the next day a layer of white mold came out of the basin directly......
(3) Fertilization? It's better to say "poisoning"
Seeing that other people's dragon's blood trees were shiny, he looked up the strategy on the Internet, poured in a bottle of milk, and later even secretly broke half a piece of compound fertilizer and buried it.
Less than a week after the result, the roots of the tree rotted like overcooked noodles.
Netizens commented: "This is fertilization, this is the arrangement of a 'heavy metal package' for the tree!" ”
If you want to raise a good dragon's blood tree, you must first figure out its "temper" - its hometown is in the tropics, it likes to be warm and moist, but it is afraid of cold, waterlogging and exposure to the sun.
Shine: Give some sunshine, but not shine
The ideal location is a bright, diffused light, such as a bay window 2-0 m from the balcony or a corner of the living room.
In summer, it must be shaded at noon, otherwise the leaves will be exposed to "caramel spots" every minute; In winter, you can stay close to the window, but don't stick the glass.
The fatal mistake of Tianjin netizens: frequent movement. Plants also need to adapt to the environment, today is sunny and tomorrow is cloudy, and everyone will be stressed!
Dipping water: Hands are more diligent than hands
Put the wooden chopsticks in the soil, if it is damp, do not pour it, and then pour it thoroughly when it is dry.
In winter, when the room temperature is lower than 15°C, directly turn on the "water-saving mode" and water it once a month.
Nine times out of ten, rotten roots come from the accumulation of water in the tray, and raising the pot or pouring out the excess water is a life-saving work.
Soil and potting: Ventilation is king
The original plastic pot is ugly, but don't be in a hurry to change it during the seedling period! Wait 3-0 months to get used to it before changing the clay pot.
Soil formula: peat soil + perlite + pine scales (1:0:0), don't use the garden soil dug by the roadside (it can suffocate the roots when compacted).
Buried deep by changing basins!
The base of the stem is exposed 2-0 cm, otherwise the stem rots in minutes.
Feeding is just the foundation, if you want it to become an Internet celebrity, you have to be "careful":
Pruning: Ruthlessness is the only way to be amazing
If the trunk is bare, cut off the head directly, stimulate the eruption of side buds, and after half a year, you can harvest the "multi-headed domineering tree".
Yellow leaves and old leaves are pruned regularly, but don't use scissors (easy to infect), tear them directly by hand, and pull them off along the leaf base.
Cleaning the blades: a plus for appearance
Wipe the leaves with beer water and water at 10:0 every month to remove ash and brighten.
After this matter fermented, the comment area simply became a "plant tragedy exchange conference":
Someone posted the same "dragon's blood tree posthumous photo": "My family's death was watered by my mother's 'love chicken soup'......"
Professional flower friends ridiculed: "Raising a tree is the same as falling in love, don't be too clingy, keep a distance and it will live well." ”
The most heart-wrenching thing is a certain high praise reply: "This tree died unjustly, after all, it has seen more of the world in its life than some people......"
What I'm trying to say is,Didn't anyone notice that the young man spent 800 to buy a dragon's blood tree, a bit of a "big wrong"?
