The yew should be watered more in the growing season and less in the dormant period. it should be watered every 5-7 days in spring and autumn, 3-5 days in summer and 7-10 days in winter. At the same time, it should be determined according to the actual growth situation.

II. Points for attention

The main results are as follows: 1. Taxus should be cultivated at the end of winter and before sprouting in early spring, and large seedlings should carry soil balls. In the daily maintenance and management, we should often loosen the soil, weed, fertilize, irrigate, and spread the litter around the roots, so as to maintain the acidity of the soil.

2. When watering the potted yew, we must pay attention to the water quality. The water used in flowerpots is natural Rain Water, followed by clean and flowing river and lake water. If it is necessary to use well water, we must pay attention to the water quality, especially in the northern area, the alkali is often too heavy, which is not conducive to the growth of yew. The second is the water temperature, the water temperature of watering potted flowers should be basically close to the air temperature.

What if the yew leaves off?

1. Caused by watering. When watering, it should be judged according to the situation of the basin soil, when the surface of the basin soil becomes yellow and white and the leaves are slightly curled, don't rush to water it, just spray it with spray. If you keep it indoors, it's best to water it every 20 to 25 days, and if you keep it outdoors, it's best to water it every 15 to 20 days. In case of heavy rain, it is necessary to suspend watering and drain the stagnant water from the basin. If there are symptoms of falling leaves, then we can replace it with new flower soil without stagnant water.

2. caused by not pruning for a long time. Too many branches and leaves in the lower part can be cut off, and when trimming, it can be trimmed into a variety of shapes, such as umbrella shape, circle and so on. This pruning can greatly reduce the nutrient consumption of branches and leaves, so that the roots begin to grow normally, and the leaves will no longer fall. In addition, in order to keep the yew in perfect shape, its terminal buds and some lateral branches can be removed properly.

Third, caused by diseases and insect pests. We should use some medicine spray treatment to prevent the spread of diseases and insect pests.

How to water the yew

Spring and autumn season generally about 7 days a foot water, summer 2-3 days or so watering, in addition to watering, but also often spray the leaves, especially when the summer temperature is high.

2. Points for attention

During the dormant period in winter, watering should be based on the principle of dry rather than wet. The watering temperature should be similar to the ambient temperature and the temperature difference should not be too large. Never water too much, it will lead to rotting roots.
