1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: 20-28 ℃ is the best, which is the most suitable for the growth of Brazilian iron. Its cold resistance is not good. In winter, if it is lower than 13 ℃, its leaves will turn yellow, so try to keep it above 13 ℃ and at least not lower than 5 ℃, otherwise it may be frozen to death or frostbite

2. Light: it has strong adaptability to light. It can grow normally in semi cloudy places. However, there should not be too strong light, and the strong light should be shielded as much as possible in summer. In other seasons, it can be placed in a semi cloudy place, and in winter, it can be placed in a sunny place

3. Watering: in its growing season, generally speaking, it has to be watered every 3-5 days. However, it is necessary to control water in winter. This interval can be extended to one week or more, but it cannot be completely without water replenishment

4. Fertilization: there is little demand in this regard. Generally speaking, fertilization can be done once every 30-40 days. The best fertilizer used is quick acting fertilizer

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: cutting is often used, and it is most suitable in May and June. Select robust stem segments with a length of about 56 cm. Coarse sand or vermiculite is selected as the matrix, which can be inserted vertically or placed directly on it. After that, the temperature should be about 20 ℃. It will take about 30 to 40 days to take root

2. Pruning: during the growth period, it grows very vigorously. Its branches and leaves may grow very messy, which will affect the viewing and consume a lot of nutrients. Therefore, regular pruning is very important. In addition to these dense and messy branches and leaves, the dry and aging branches and leaves also need to be cut off in time

3、 Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: there may be "leaf blight" and other diseases endangering leaves, which occur frequently in summer. Carbendazim can be used for treatment and ventilation in time, and the density needs to be controlled

2. Insect pests: mainly "red spider", especially indoor cultured plants. They will suck the juice in the leaves and can be controlled by trichlorfon

4、 Other issues

1. Toxicity: Brazilian iron is non-toxic. Its whole plant is non-toxic. You can safely breed it

2. Whether it can be raised at home: the environment at home is more suitable for the growth of Brazilian iron. Moreover, there are many benefits of putting it at home, such as viewing, purification and so on< a>
