Soil

The soil of Mexican iron tree is best to use loose and fertile sandy soil. When turning the pot, you need to use coarse-grained stones and broken tiles at the bottom of the pot as the drainage layer, and add 2 to 3 horseshoe slices and cake fertilizer as the base fertilizer

Fertilizer

In the period of vigorous growth in summer, thin rotten cake fertilizer and water can be applied, and the frequency is 1 ~ 2 times a month. Some "black alum water" can be applied during topdressing, which can make the green leaves bright and thick green

Temperature

It is recommended that the seedlings should be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time in the spring and summer in Mexico. Wait until the new leaves grow up before moving indoors for viewing. Note that if the temperature is below zero in winter, it is best to move indoors

Watering

During the growth period of plants, the soil should be kept moist, but it is best not to accumulate water. When it is hot in summer, spray water on the leaf properly to keep the leaf bright and dark green. In winter, the soil should be a little dry, otherwise it is easy to rot roots

Precautions

Mexican iron trees are generally less prone to diseases and insect pests. If there are beetles, it is best to wash and expel them manually. If the leaf surface turns yellow, it is recommended to spray with 1% ferrous sulfate diluent. In addition, the environment should be kept transparent, ventilated, clean and tidy
