Light: put it in a place with sufficient sunlight or scattering, and don't be exposed to the sun. Temperature: give it a growth environment of 20-30 ℃, the temperature should not be too low. Soil: loose and fertile sandy loam with good drainage can be used. Watering: after the basin soil is completely dried, watering shall be reduced when the temperature is low. Fertilizer application: thin liquid fertilizer is applied once every 15 days in young plant period, and once every 2 months in growth period.

Illumination

Brazil iron likes warm and sunny environment, which is more resistant to shade and cold, but also afraid of the sun. Therefore, when breeding, it should be placed near the balcony where there is sufficient sunlight or scattered light. The full absorption of light can make it carry out photosynthesis well, and the full growth of plants can make the air in the home fresh and breathe freely.

temperature

The suitable growth temperature of Brazilian iron is between 20-30 ℃, and the warm environment temperature can make it better for photosynthesis and respiration, which is full of vitality in the home.

soil

Brazilian iron is suitable for sandy loam with loose, fertile soil and good drainage. When planting, it can ensure the normal drainage of Brazilian iron, greatly reduce the ponding of basin soil, prevent the occurrence of rotten roots, and also make it grow healthily.

watering

Brazilian iron enjoys a warm and humid environment, so it is necessary to keep a high air humidity for breeding Brazilian iron. Do not allow water to accumulate, which will lead to root rot. At ordinary times, the watering should not be too much, and the basin soil should be dried thoroughly before pouring.

When it comes to winter, when the temperature drops to 13 ℃, it will enter the dormancy period. At this time, watering should be reduced appropriately to keep the basin soil wet and dry; if the basin soil is too wet for a long time, it will lead to rotten roots and death of plants.

fertilization

The requirement of Brazilian iron on fertilization is not high. During the regrowth period of young plants, thin liquid fertilizer is applied once every 15 days; during the growth period of formed plants, fertilization can be applied once every 2 months. Fertilization should be based on P-K compound fertilizer, but more nitrogen can be applied.
