Cultivation methods and precautions of Australian fir

Australian fir is evergreen, antique, and has a high ornamental value. It can also purify indoor air. It is the most popular green ornamental plant to grow at home. However, many flower lovers don’t know much about Australian fir and don’t know how to grow it. Today, the editor will talk about this issue and tell you what to pay attention to when growing Australian fir.

1. Culture soil

When cultivating Australian cedar, you must prepare suitable culture soil. It likes slightly acidic sandy soil with good drainage and high corrosive content. When cultivating it at home, you can choose to mix original soil with compound leaf soil and peat soil to make culture soil for cultivating Australian cedar.

2. Proper watering

Many people who grow Australian fir, hearing that it is a water-loving plant, want to water it every day. This is wrong. Although it likes water, it should be watered in moderation. The number of watering times varies in different seasons. In spring and autumn, it can be watered every three days. After entering winter, it can be watered once a week. However, in the hot weather in summer, it should be watered every two days, and its leaves should be sprayed with water every day.

3. Moderate light

The Australian fir is evergreen all year round. Many people think it is a shade-loving plant and will place it indoors for a long time, but this is not conducive to the growth of the Australian fir, because the Australian fir also likes sunlight. It can be placed in an environment with sufficient scattered light. If it is placed in a place where there is no sunlight for a long time, the color of its leaves will fade. In severe cases, the leaves will turn yellow, reducing its ornamental value.

4. Temperature and fertilizer

Australian fir is an ornamental plant with particularly strong adaptability. When it is cultivated, it can grow healthily as long as the indoor temperature does not exceed 32 degrees. However, it has a relatively large demand for fertilizer during the growth period and should be fertilized every two weeks. The fertilizer should be a compound fertilizer with high nitrogen and potassium content. If there is insufficient fertilizer, it will grow slowly and its leaves will turn yellow.
