When it comes to plants that gamblers like to cultivate, of course, the "Zamioculcas zamiifolia" plant with the same meaning in its name is indispensable. As a perennial herbaceous plant, on the appearance of its leaves, the shape is exactly like ancient copper coins. At the same time, the leaves feel thick and fleshy when touched, and the color is emerald green, giving people a feeling of abundant wealth. In addition, Zamioculcas zamiifolia also has the ability to purify the air. It can absorb harmful substances in the room and release fresh oxygen, which has a significant effect on improving the indoor environmental quality.
When raising Zamioculcas zamiifolia at home, it can be placed in a bright position in the family. Because it likes light, but also pay attention to the strong light at noon in summer to avoid the newly sprouted tender leaves being burned after being exposed to too strong light. In terms of watering, which is the most difficult to grasp during maintenance, Zamioculcas zamiifolia does not have a very high demand for water. It is best when the soil feels moist. In summer, when the temperature is high, spray mist to cool down and maintain humidity. In winter, avoid excessive water to cause root rot.
For the soil selection of Zamioculcas zamiifolia, it likes loose soil with good drainage. In flower shops, you can choose decomposed leaf soil, garden soil and sandy soil and mix them in a ratio of 3:6:1 to make culture soil. As for fertilization, during the growth period (from May to August), applying a thin fertilizer once a month is enough. Fertilizers can be compound fertilizers or organic fertilizers.
What precautions are there during maintenance? Generally speaking, if the leaves of Zamioculcas zamiifolia lose their green color or directly turn brown and black, it is necessary to consider placing it in a place with relatively soft light, because too strong light will cause the color of its leaves to change. Secondly, it is also necessary to pay attention to fungal infections caused by excessive watering, also known as root rot. After it occurs, the infected roots must be removed immediately and then the plant should be pruned. Otherwise, if left untreated, it will die. Finally, there is the problem of scale insect pests. They generally gather in the center of the leaves and then secrete a sticky juice, which weakens the growth power of the plant and then the leaves show signs of yellowing. At this time, the rescue method is to move the potted plant outdoors and directly use insecticides such as buprofezin to deal with it.
