Ficus cultivation method

Light: the banyan tree is suitable for growing in warm, humid and sunny places, tolerant to drought and semi-shade. Watering: the banyan tree is easy to die due to lack of water, so the soil should be kept moist, the soil surface can be watered with whitening, watering should be thoroughly, and water can be sprayed around the plant in summer. Fertilization: bury about 10 grains of compound fertilizer in the soil along the edge of the flowerpot every month, and then water it immediately. Pruning: erase the misaligned buds in the first year, trim the branches when they are lignified in the second year, and bind them properly.

I. Culture methods of banyan trees

1. Lighting

The banyan tree is a kind of subtropical plant, which is suitable to grow in warm, humid, well-ventilated and sunny places. Banyan trees are drought-resistant and semi-shady, and should be maintained in a ventilated and transparent place to maintain a certain humidity, such as in a dark, unventilated environment, which can easily lead to plant yellowing, drying, causing diseases and insect pests, and even death.

2. Timely watering

Potted banyan trees do not replenish water for a long time, which can easily lead to the death of the plant due to lack of water, so according to the degree of dryness and wetness of the basin soil, replenish water in time to keep the soil moist, watering must be thoroughly watered, you can see the basin bottom oozing water, the next watering, should wait until the soil surface whitening, the surface soil dry can be watered.

In order to increase air humidity, hot weather in summer can spray water around the plant or on the leaves, which is also conducive to cooling.

3. Fertilization

The amount of fertilizer required by the banyan tree is small. Every month, more than 10 grains of compound fertilizer will be buried in the soil along the edge of the flowerpot, and then watered immediately.

4. Pruning

In order to make the banyan tree have a higher ornamental value, it should be pruned properly. In the first year, you only need to remove the buds that are out of position, and when the branches are stout and lignified in the second year, you can prune them properly and tie them properly. Generally, it is better to prune once a year, and those with exuberant growth can be trimmed twice. If it is properly pruned, about 4 years, a good bonsai will be cultivated.

Second, the leaves of banyan bonsai turn yellow

1. Water yellow: if overwatered, the young leaves of the plant will become dark yellow without luster, and the branches will also become small yellowish green. The plant should be removed from the pot and placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry and then re-installed into the basin.

2. Dry yellow: if the plant is short of water, the old leaves will naturally wither and fall off, the tips of the leaves will dry, and the new leaves will not change, so we must water them in time and water them thoroughly.

3. Burning yellow: if the banyan tree is planted in summer with strong light for a long time, it will easily lead to macula, leaf edge and leaf tip withering, so it should be properly shaded or moved to a cool place for maintenance.

4. Lack of light: if the plant is placed in a dark environment for a long time, it can not carry out photosynthesis and can not form chlorophyll, which leads to the gradual yellowing and shedding of the leaves, so it must be maintained in a place with plenty of sunshine.

5. Fat yellow: if the plant is applied too much or too much fertilizer, it is easy to cause the plant to turn yellow, so we should stop fertilization and pour a lot of water to dilute the fertilizer to reduce the fertilizer damage.

6. Lack of fertilizer: if the plant lacks nutrients, the color of the leaves becomes lighter and yellowed, and the old leaves will slowly change from green to yellow, so we must check the basin soil in time and apply thin fertilizer frequently.
