How do you spend the winter?

Qin leaf banyan, also known as piano leaf rubber tree, is a common foliage plant in the hall. How does Qin leaf banyan survive the winter?

1. Lighting requirements

Qin leaf banyan likes the environment with plenty of light, if the light is too weak, it is not conducive to plant growth, but it is necessary to avoid strong direct sunlight in summer, otherwise it will make the leaves lose their luster or even burn them, and the light can be increased appropriately in winter. The banyan can grow well in bright scattered light, and it is best to receive about 4 hours of light every day.

2. Temperature requirement

The most suitable temperature of Ficus chinensis is 25 ℃-35 ℃, its cold tolerance is relatively weak, and it is better to keep it above 5 ℃ in winter, so that it can survive the winter safely.

3. Soil requirements

Qin leaf banyan likes loose, permeable and well drained soil, such as peat soil, which adapts to acidic to slightly acidic soil. Pot soil is best mixed with rotten leaf soil, culture soil and coarse sand, and a small amount of mature base fertilizer can be added.

4. Watering requirements

Qin leaf banyan likes a humid environment and has a relatively high demand for water. It follows the principle of seeing dry and wet. When the basin soil is thoroughly dry, it will be watered thoroughly. There is a large water demand in spring and summer, so it is necessary to keep the soil moist, but do not pour too much water when you are in a low temperature for a long time, otherwise it will easily lead to plant death.

5. Fertilization requirements

Qinye banyan needs a lot of fertilizer, which can be seen by its hypertrophic leaves, so liquid fertilizer is applied once a week or two in the growing season to ensure its healthy growth, and fertilization is generally stopped in winter.
