How to raise the latest yew?

Taxus mairei is an endemic tree species in China. It is recognized as a natural rare anticancer plant on the verge of extinction in the world. It has high growth conditions, slow growth and poor regeneration ability, so now there is no large-scale breeding base. Because of its precious price, it was sought after by many people and began to breed it, but I don't know how to start it. Let's learn about it.

1. Suitable soil

Taxus is a shallow root plant, the main root is not obvious, the lateral root is not developed, so the absorptive capacity is weak, which means that it has high requirements for the soil, if the soil is poor, its growth will be affected. Good soil can promote its rapid growth, it is appropriate to choose loose, fertile, humus-rich slightly acidic soil, the best pH value is between 5-6.

2. Lighting

Taxus is a light-loving plant, and it is sexually fond of an environment with sufficient light, which is disadvantageous to its growth in a dark environment, so it is recommended to cultivate it outdoors. Can also build a greenhouse, the use of facilities for lighting, which is good for its growth, because although the yew likes light, but avoid strong light exposure, exposure will make its lack of water wilt Yan, serious until the leaves wither and fall off. Therefore, when breeding, only need to provide scattered light, and the use of greenhouse and other facilities can be perfect to achieve its lighting needs.

3. Fertilizer and water management

If you want the yew to grow fast and well, fertilizer is indispensable. Fertilization is usually three months after planting, because at this time the soil fertilizer can still supply the growth needs, if fertilization at this time may cause fertilizer damage, resulting in overgrowth of the plant. It is suggested that the fertilizer should be made into solution and applied in the early stage of fertilization, which can improve the utilization rate of fertilizer, let the plant absorb quickly, and control fertility and water. In the later stage of growth, fertilizer can be applied directly, and the fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer.

4. Pest control

In breeding, they are often harmed by diseases and insect pests, which have a great impact on the growth rate of plants, and the more common is root rot. When it came on, the appearance of the plant could not be seen. In the later stage of the disease, the leaves of the plant withered and yellowed, and only when the root system was dug up would it be found that the root system had rotted away. Therefore, the prevention of diseases and insect pests is the main, every season, you can spray Bordeaux liquid, there is a good need for disease prevention, found that the harm of diseases and insect pests should also be dealt with in time, so as not to miss the best time for prevention and control.
