Nephrolepis cordifolia planting methods: high temperature requirements need attention

Nephrolepis cordifolia has a shallow root distribution and poor absorption capacity. To plant Nephrolepis cordifolia, choose soil with good drainage and irrigation conditions, rich in humus, sufficient fertility and loose, then prepare the land and apply fertilizer. Nephrolepis cordifolia has very high temperature requirements, and a temperature controlled at around 10-32°C is most suitable for the normal growth of Nephrolepis cordifolia. Its growth temperature cannot be lower than 5°C. During the growth process, do a good job of cold protection and heat preservation in winter, and heat prevention and cooling in summer, strengthen ventilation, shorten watering frequency, and reasonable fertilization is conducive to improving its ornamental value.

1. Planting conditions

Nephrolepis cordifolia has poor nutrient absorption capacity, its roots are shallowly distributed, and it also has a certain epiphytic nature. Nephrolepis cordifolia is suitable for planting in soil with sufficient fertility, good drainage and irrigation conditions, rich in humus and loose. Then prepare the land and apply sufficient base fertilizer to improve soil quality, which is more conducive to the growth of Nephrolepis cordifolia and increases its yield.

2. Reasonable lighting

Nephrolepis cordifolia is a shade-loving plant, and a certain amount of scattered light is sufficient during growth. Excessive light and direct sunlight will affect its normal growth and reduce its ornamental value. Excessive light: causes the leaves of Nephrolepis cordifolia to turn yellow and fall off, and in severe cases it will die. Direct sunlight: causes leaf moisture loss, wilting and yellowing. In order to maintain the good ornamental quality of Nephrolepis cordifolia for a long time, we need to provide appropriate light and give it regular exposure to light.

3. Temperature

Nephrolepis cordifolia has relatively high temperature requirements, and the temperature level directly affects its normal growth. Its temperature cannot be lower than 5°C. Too high a temperature will cause Nephrolepis cordifolia to grow excessively, and will also affect the growth of underground tubers, reducing its ornamental value. A temperature controlled at around 10-32°C is most suitable for the normal growth of Nephrolepis cordifolia. In order to improve its ornamental value, in winter we should do a good job of cold protection and heat preservation, and in summer we should do a good job of heat prevention and cooling, shorten watering frequency, and strengthen ventilation.

4. Fertilization

Nephrolepis cordifolia does not need too many nutrients during growth. It is a fern without flowers or fruits. Generally, during the growth periods in spring and autumn, fertilize twice a month, mainly with nitrogen fertilizer. Note that it must not be too concentrated or excessive, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage to Nephrolepis cordifolia, weak growth, excessive growth and other undesirable phenomena. Therefore, we should fertilize reasonably to ensure the glossiness of Nephrolepis cordifolia, improve its growth ability, and thereby improve its ornamental value.
