This plant is called swallow's paw. Its leaves are round and small. It is very beautiful when hanging on branches. Moreover, the leaves of swallow's palm are small but thick and shiny. What's more strange is that the color of swallow's palm leaves sometimes changes with the change of light. Such a small potted plant, whether placed at home or in the company, is a good decoration. Here, Huahua has many maintenance methods that can make swallow's palm explode. Let's have a look

1. Suitable light

Huahua just said that the leaf color of swallow's palm will change with the change of sunlight. It can be seen that swallow's palm is a light loving plant. Swallow's paw needs a lot of light, especially in the growth period. If the light is insufficient, there is likely to be root rot. However, when the sun is direct in summer, you can take a little shade. In winter, you can safely put it under the sun for maintenance

2. Proper moisture

Watering has always been a big difficulty in raising flowers. Swallow palms are watered almost every two days in spring and autumn, which can maintain sufficient water to promote plant growth. Swallow's paw, like many plants, will enter the dormancy period in hot weather in summer. At this time, remember to water it every 7 days. Because of the low temperature in winter, even watering once a half month will not cause problems

3. Moderate fertilizer

If you want the plant to grow vigorously, fertilization is inevitable. However, under normal circumstances, swallow palm does not need fertilization. Unless you feel that you can't keep up with the nutrients in the peak growth season, you can apply a little thin fertilizer and water containing phosphorus and potassium to promote the growth of the plant

4. Cutting method

Swallow palm can also be cut, and the cutting methods can be divided into soil culture and water culture. Choose a stronger branch, trim it into a small section of about 10cm, and put the trimmed branch in a cool place to stand for a day or two, so that it will be easier to survive after cutting. There is no big difference between water culture and soil culture. Two thirds of the branches are inserted into the matrix, and the scene of germination can be seen in about half a month

Although swallow's paw is a green plant, it also blooms beautifully. Small flower buds are embedded in green branches and leaves. Friends who like it can start a pot quickly. After all, there are not many plants that can look and grow like this
