Brasil Philodendron Care in Detail

Brasil Philodendron Watering

In the process of planting flowers and plants, we must master the correct Brasil Philodendron watering method, because different plants need different water, and Brasil Philodendron plants need different water in each growth cycle. This is very important when planting Brasil Philodendron. Of course, the temperature is different in different seasons, and the humidity will be different. For example, when the temperature is relatively high in summer, the water will decrease quickly. At this time, it is necessary to water more heart leaf rattan, otherwise it will be short of water. In winter, the temperature is relatively low and the water evaporation is very slow, so the watering process should be appropriately reduced. However, no matter what season, do not choose noon for the watering period, so as to avoid damage to Brasil Philodendron and death.
During the planting of Brasil Philodendron, most people always think that watering at noon should not cause damage to the plants. In fact, this view is very wrong, because when the temperature is too high at noon, some pores of Brasil Philodendron plants are completely open, and if water is given at this time, The stomata on the surface of Brasil Philodendron plant will be damaged to some extent, and of course, the growth of leaf parts will be limited. Therefore, some plants will die if you give them water at noon. This must be noted in the process of planting Brasil Philodendron.

Brasil Philodendron Soil

Brasil Philodendron soil requires that the soil is loose and not easy to harden. It can be mixed with rotten leaf soil and vegetable garden soil, or sandy loam.

Brasil Philodendron Light

Brasil Philodendron doesn't have strict requirements for light. We usually keep it for four to six hours a day! Brasil Philodendron can be exposed outside for a long time. Sunlight is conducive to the growth of Brasil Philodendron. We need to pay attention in winter. Brasil Philodendron is likely to be frostbitten by the cold air at night, so we need to keep it warm in winter, and the sun in summer should not be too strong. When the sun is too strong, we need to shade it slightly, otherwise it is easy to damage Brasil Philodendron blades!

Brasil Philodendron Temperature

Each plant Brasil Philodendron needs different temperatures during its growth, which has a certain relationship with the different growth needs of plants. Some plants are more suitable to grow in cold areas, because Brasil Philodendron has strong cold resistance. At the same time, the growth of plants also needs low temperature control to grow better. However, when planting heart leaf rattan, the temperature must not be too low. This plant itself likes those warm and humid environments. The temperature most suitable for Brasil Philodendron's growth is usually between 6 and 14 degrees. Therefore, only the temperature suitable for Brasil Philodendron's growth can make it grow better and its branches and leaves more lush.
However, the temperature will vary in different seasons, and the temperature in summer is relatively high. Although Brasil Philodendron likes to grow in places with high temperature, it will also be damaged if the temperature is too high, so we should control the temperature in time in summer. Especially in summer, do not direct the strong light on the branches and leaves of heart leaf vine, which will damage the leaves of Brasil Philodendron. However, in winter, in order to make it carry out photosynthesis well, we can put it in a place with sufficient sunshine for it to enjoy, but we must pay attention to the low temperature in winter. We must pay attention to some thermal insulation measures to avoid frostbite and death of Brasil Philodendron.

Brasil Philodendron Humidity

The humidity requirements of Brasil Philodendron's growth vary with the seasons. In winter, we can appropriately add less water. However, in summer, due to the hot sun, the water evaporation rate is faster than we think, so we can properly pour more water, but we should try to avoid watering it at noon. At noon, the weather is hot, The stomata of the plant are open. At this time, watering will damage the stomata of Brasil Philodendron and restrict the growth of Brasil Philodendron.

Brasil Philodendron Fertilizer

When planting Brasil Philodendron, we need to use slightly acidic soil with good drainage and apply some organic base fertilizer in the soil, so as to provide sufficient nutrition for its later growth and development. When Brasil Philodendron grows vigorously, usually from May to September, we must pay attention to topdressing Brasil Philodendron, but we don't need too much. Generally, we need to apply fertilizer once or twice a month. We can choose some water-soluble fertilizer. Otherwise, Brasil Philodendron's petiole will grow too long and soft, There is no standing effect, so it doesn't look good. Generally, we need to apply liquid fertilizer to Brasil Philodendron once every half a month. Just spray the liquid fertilizer on its leaves, which can make its leaves more dark green for a long time, make the overall shape particularly beautiful and greatly enhance its ornamental. At the end of autumn and winter, Brasil Philodendron will grow very slowly or even stop growing. At this time, fertilization is not allowed, otherwise it will break its dormancy and affect its growth when the temperature rises.

Brasil Philodendron Pruning

When Brasil Philodendron grows for a long time, we need to properly conduct Brasil Philodendron pruning. We need to cut off the long branches and leaves with clean scissors. When pruning, don't be reluctant to cut, but also prune too seriously. It's almost more beautiful than before. Its growth recovery ability is relatively good. Generally, it will not hinder its growth. Pick the heart in spring so that it can branch and grow better.
Brasil Philodendron needs to be pruned according to the plant shape in the process of maintenance. Usually, due to improper maintenance methods, dry, yellow or poor growth branches and leaves will appear on the plant. Such branches and leaves should be cut off in time, otherwise it will affect its normal growth and consume water in the soil. In addition, if there are branches and leaves damaged by diseases and insect pests on the plant, they should be trimmed off and burned together.
After Brasil Philodendron pruning, pay attention to ventilation and open more windows when raising indoors. At the same time, pay attention to water control, and do not pour water on the pruning incision, so as to avoid the muggy and humid environment, which will affect the plant recovery.

In warm seasons, less damage can be caused during root shaving. Brasil Philodendron repotting also needs appropriate pruning to ensure the normal growth of plants.
