The flowering period of Brazilian wood is between June and August every year, and the inflorescence is yellow-green. Brazilian wood likes warm environment, so it needs to be given proper light every day for maintenance, which can promote the flowering of Brazilian wood; It will take 15-20 days to apply a thin layer of fertilizer, mainly decomposed organic fertilizer, supplemented by appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer, and sufficient nutrition can make Brazilian wood blossom more vigorously.
The scientific name of Brazilian wood is Dracaena, which belongs to Dracaena of Asparagaceae. The plant can grow to about 6 meters at the highest, but the height of potted wood is only 50- 100 cm, and the leaves of Brazilian wood are wide and undulating, and the leaves are evergreen all the year round, which can purify the air. Therefore, Brazilian wood is often cultured indoors.
Cultivation techniques of Brazilian wood
Be sure to sterilize and kill insects before planting. Change pots and soil once a year in spring. Put it in an environment of 18-25℃. In spring, autumn and winter, it is advisable to get more sunshine, and in summer, it is advisable to shade or put it in a well-ventilated place indoors for cultivation. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer or thin organic liquid fertilizer should be applied every half month during the growth period. Fertilizers with too high nitrogen content should not be used for variegated leaf varieties.
During cultivation, the mottled color of leaves becomes lighter. This is often caused by excessive shading of cultivation sites or excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer. Water can be fully watered in the growing season, and the pot soil will grow poorly if it is too dry, especially in the summer when it grows vigorously. The water should be clean to prevent the trunk from rotting. But it can't make the soil moisture too high for a long time. Be careful not to apply water and fertilizer to the leaves.
