How should ferns be maintained? How to raise ferns

Water frequently and keep in a dark place.

Ferns can grow well in some cool and moist placesIt can be used as a potted plant, or it can be raised as an epiphyte (staghorn fern) on a wooden board, or even a hanging pot, and some friends will use ferns to decorate the plant landscape. Although ferns are more shade-tolerant, they should not be kept in excessively shady places.

Precautions for fern maintenanceThe maintenance of ferns must keep the potting soil moist, the premise is to ensure that the maintenance environment is well ventilated, and the soil of the pot has good air permeability. Before watering ferns, you can touch the soil and even remove the topsoil.

When the soil is two or three centimeters below the surface, you can continue to water it thoroughly. Ferns are extremely afraid of cold, the maintenance temperature is kept above 5 degrees, basically can be kept green all year round, the temperature is below 0 degrees, there will definitely be frostbite, if the frostbitten leaves are particularly much, it may not recover.

Ferns like to grow in loose, highly fertile, humus soil, usually need to water it once a day, every 15 20 days to apply a well-rotted liquid fertilizer, usually placed in a half-shade and half-yang place to maintain, do a good job of sunscreen in summer, and control the temperature above 10 in winter.

Generally, ferns like to grow in loose, highly fertile, humus soil, usually can be cultivated ferns in humus soil, you can add some sandy soil in an appropriate amount, increase the porosity of the soil, so that the roots of ferns grow better in the soil, but also every 2 years or so to turn over the pot and change the soil.

For the question of how to raise ferns, ferns like to grow in moist and moist soil, and need to water it in time, generally you can water it once a day to keep the soil moist, and apply rotten liquid fertilizer every 15 to 20 days, when the temperature is too high or too low, do not fertilize it.

Ferns are relatively shade-tolerant, the demand for sunlight is not high, it is usually best to place it in a semi-shade and half-yang place to maintain, when the temperature is too high in summer, but also to move to a cool place, potted plants master to spray water, reduce the surrounding temperature, and provide a good growth environment for ferns.

Although ferns are more resistant to negative, it is not cold-tolerant, generally like to grow around 15 20, and it is best to control the ambient temperature above 10 in winter, which can not only help ferns survive the winter, but also make ferns grow lush in winter.

There are many types of flower pots and different styles of flower pots, and potted ferns should first choose the right flower pot. There are two principles for selecting pots, namely: to meet the requirements of the conditions for the growth and development of ferns; The shape and color of the pot should be in harmony with the plant.

As long as these two requirements can be met, pots of any nature can be used. The size of the pot depends on the size of the fern, the diameter is usually 1 3 of the height of the plant, and the fern should never be planted in a pot that is too large. Plastic pots and glazed porcelain pots have poor permeability and strong moisturizing ability, which can appropriately reduce the amount of watering.

In addition, the cultivation soil in the pot should be coarser and well-drained mixed soil as much as possible. The plastic basin is rich and brightly colored, and the portion is also lightweight, so it is not easy to break. In order to overcome the defects of poor drainage, drill more drainage holes at the bottom and around the plastic basin to make up for the above defects.

If the drainage, aeration and soil capacity are all sufficient, the shape will not have much effect on the growth of the plant.

Management: Drainage: In small or medium-sized pots, after 1 2 days of watering, remove the soil mass from the pot, if the bottom soil is amorphous mud, it means that the drainage is not good, and the new soil should be replaced.

If softened rotten roots are seen, or if a strong smell of plant decay is emitted in the soil, this is typical of poor drainage.

Divide pots: If you plant ferns in pots that are too small, the growth of the roots will be restricted. Ferns with restricted root growth should be transplanted as soon as possible, or divided.

If you want the plant to grow taller, plant it in a larger pot. If you want it to remain in its original pot, you need to divide it. Large, robust rhizomes with undamaged growth ends should be retained.

Salt scale treatment: Sometimes there will be gray-white salt scale on the pots, which not only affects the ornamentation, but also damages the growth of the plants. Vinegar is effective at dissolving salt scale, but care must be taken that only the pot should be wiped with vinegar and not touched by the plants.
