3. Uniform and sparse sowing: Banyan seeds are evenly and sparsely sown on the ridge surface, and then covered with a thin layer of straw to prevent rain washing. After sowing, water is poured thoroughly. After that, keep the ridge surface dry and wet alternately, and avoid standing water to cause rotten seedlings. It can germinate about twelve days after sowing.

4. Seedling transplantation: When the banyan plant is as high as 7 cm to 8 cm, it can be transplanted. The plastic nutrition bag is selected for seedling cultivation to facilitate the growth of fine seedling roots and strong branches. When the fine seedling plant is as high as 40 cm, it can be transplanted for field cultivation.

Where does the tree grow?

Ficus is widely distributed and adaptable. It likes loose and fertile acid soil and can survive in poor sandy soil. But leaves are easy to yellow in alkaline soil.

Banyan tree is not resistant to drought, waterlogging, water in a short period of time will not rot roots. In dry environment will grow poorly, wet environment will produce a large number of aerial roots, in the outdoor large banyan ornamental value is higher.

Banyan trees like sunny, warm and humid environment, relatively few rounds of southern climate, not cold, except in southern China, other areas of conservation in the form of bonsai.

Many flower friends don't know much about the cultivation of banyan trees. Banyan trees are different from many flowers and plants. Banyan trees like warm, sunny, humid and ventilated environments, so conservation sites should meet these requirements, otherwise it is easy to cause banyan trees to die. Some flower friends put it on a sunny, but airtight balcony or indoors, causing large areas of banyan leaves to fall until it finally becomes a bare trunk.

2. The watering method of fig trees

If potted banyan trees are not watered for a long time, the plants will wither due to lack of water. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the growth of the plants in time and water them according to the soil. When watering, water is poured until water flows out of the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin. After watering once, wait for the soil surface to turn white before watering.

Usually when the humidity of the environment is low, you can put a small groove on the lower pad of the flowerpot, and properly fill a little water, which is conducive to increasing the humidity. Water should also be sprayed frequently, especially in the hot season of disaster.

3. Fertilization method of fig tree

Because the potted banyan soil is limited, the nutrients to meet the growth of banyan trees are also limited, timely supplement of nutrients to ensure that banyan trees grow vigorously. In summer and autumn season, apply decomposed fertilizer water once a month, and apply less fertilizer or no fertilizer in winter. In short, everything depends on the growth status of the plant.

4. The pruning method of banyan tree

Ficus trees are resistant to pruning and grow quickly, allowing them to be reshaped in early spring. Proper thinning of branches, enhance its ventilation and light transmission, reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests. According to their own preferences, re-modeling, enhance the ornamental.

Propagation by layering of fig trees

Ficus family culture can adopt layering or high branch layering propagation. Part of the branches will be arranged into the middle, compaction watering, generally after 30 days or so can take root. The method of high branch layering is to select 2-year-old branches, peel the smooth parts of the branches in a ring, peel the width of 1.0-1.5 cm, wrap the wound around with moist peat, moss, etc., and finally wrap it tightly with plastic film, bundle the upper and lower ends, and tie several small holes in the film for ventilation. Cut off the potted plants after they grow roots.

Banyan tree is a kind of plant growing in the south, because banyan tree is more adapted to the warm and humid climate in the south, so banyan trees seen in the south usually appear in the form of outdoor planting, while in the north, the climate is cold, you can only enjoy the grace of banyan trees in the form of potted plants indoors.
