Botany Encyclopedia

Genus : Pachira

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This plant grows in Central and South America. It thrives in warm, humid wetlands.

🪨 Soil Mix

When planting, it's best to use well-draining soil. Generally, mix 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. However, you can adjust the ratios based on the situation and environment.

🌡️ Environment

This plant prefers temperatures between 20-25°C, with a minimum of 7°C. It thrives in 40-70% humidity, favoring warm and humid conditions but is sensitive to cold. Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold and pests.

👀 Characteristics details

This plant stores a lot of moisture in its thick stems, allowing it to thrive in dry environments. However, be careful not to overwater, as this can cause rot.

☀️ Light

This plant grows well in low light but thrives with prolonged indirect light. To make the leaves lush, it needs plenty of light. Since it grows towards the light, rotate the pot periodically to ensure it grows straight.

💧 Water

Water the plant when the surface soil is dry. However, in winter, water it when the inner soil is dry.

🌱 Propagate

Use sterilized tools to cut a branch with 2-4 nodes at an angle, dry it for 3-4 hours, then propagate in soil or water. 1. For water propagation, avoid transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, use hydroponic fertilizer. If roots are over 5-7 cm, transplant into soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant deeply in soil without fertilizer. After propagation, avoid exposing to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help the plant adapt. Maintain high humidity and a temperature of 20-25°C.

🪴 Repot

Due to its fast growth rate, it is advisable to repot in spring every 1-2 years.

💊 Fertilize

Using fertilizer once during spring and summer, while adhering to the recommended amount, can promote more vigorous growth.

🌺 Flower

In their natural habitat, they typically bloom from summer to fall, but it's difficult to see flowers indoors.
