The most suitable temperature for pistachio growth is between 23 and 28 degrees, pistachio is very heat-resistant, even if the growth environment is bad, the temperature is as high as 43 degrees, it can maintain a good growth condition. Pistachio is also very hardy, even if the outdoor growth environment is below minus 32 degrees, it can survive the winter safely.

So pistachio pot also does not need how to take care of, its vitality is very tenacious, in winter also do not need to move back indoors to do heat preservation treatment, compared with other potted plants is very easy and labor-saving.

II. Soil conditions

Although pistachio trees do not have high requirements for soil, the most suitable for its growth is dry calcareous soil. Pistachio trees are often planted as excellent soil and water conservation trees, which can grow well even in deserts. Pistachios like dry and ventilated environment, too humid is not conducive to its growth, saline-alkali soil is also not conducive to its growth.

III. Watering and maintenance

Pistachios like dry environment, cold and drought tolerance is strong, so they do not need to be watered frequently. Pot pistachios are watered once every 5-7 days, as long as the soil is semi-wet, too wet soil can easily lead to root rot of pistachios. Even in the summer when water evaporates quickly, watering water once every 3-5 days is OK, and it can not be too dry, otherwise it will lead to no fruit of pistachios and no harvest of grains.

Fourth, lighting demand

Pistachios like light, and are not afraid of strong light, sufficient light is conducive to the growth and development of pistachios. Pistachios have a long ripening period and usually take 6 years to mature and begin to bear fruit. Sufficient light is a necessary condition for the growth, development and ripening of pistachios.

5. Fertilization and maintenance

Although pistachio has no requirements for ingredients, but fertile growth conditions are more conducive to its growth. In the growing period of pistachios, phosphate and potassium fertilizer can be applied once a month, which can accelerate its growth rate and promote the flowering and fruiting of pistachios.

Sixth, the florescence of pistachios

The flowering season of pistachios is in spring every year, and flowering pistachios can be seen in March-May. Pistachio is a deep-rooted drought-tolerant tree species, which takes more than 14 years to reach its flowering and fruiting stage. Pistachio flowers are small and gathered, mostly green, fresh fragrance, light and elegant color.

The above is a brief introduction to the planting method of pistachio. Pistachio has rich nutritional value, good economic benefits and simple maintenance, but its growth period is very long, so it should be considered clearly when planting as an economic tree species. don't plant it blindly.
