Culture methods and matters needing attention of indoor potted yew

In recent years, the yew, known as the "national treasure", has appeared in the homes of many ordinary people after successful artificial cultivation. So, what are the methods of indoor potted yew culture and matters needing attention?

What is the method of indoor potted yew culture?

1. Planting conditions

Taxus is native to the Yangtze River valley and likes warm and humid environment. It is a strong negative tree species and is suitable for growing in loose, fertile soil and rich in organic matter. When many people cultivate in pots, they will allocate nutritious soil by themselves to make the plants grow in a suitable environment. The planting area requires a temperature of 20-30 degrees, and the minimum temperature in winter should not be lower than 5 degrees. It grows faster in an environment with sufficient light, but the seedlings are not tolerant to strong light. You should pay attention to these when planting.

two。 Reproduction method

Taxus has two propagation methods: sowing and cutting. the seeds should be germinated when sowing, but it is not suitable to germinate because of the poor permeability of the seed coat of the yew. After the seeds are stored in the open air and mixed with sand, they can be sown when most of them are exposed, and this process will last for more than a year. When sowing, the seeds are sterilized by chemical dressing, and then mixed evenly with wet sand at the proportion of 1:3 before sowing. Both softwood cuttings and hardwood cuttings of Taxus chinensis can be used for cutting propagation. When selecting the plant, the survival rate of branches and buds in this year will be higher; when cutting, soak in naphthalene acetic acid solvent for about 2 hours, which is conducive to better rooting.

3. Fertilizing and watering

Although it likes wetting, it is also afraid of waterlogging, so it needs to pay attention to keeping the soil moist, especially in times of drought, remember to water in time. However, drainage and waterlogging prevention measures should be taken when it is rainy in summer. when the temperature begins to drop in late autumn, the number of watering should be reduced, only a little moisture in the soil can be kept, and frozen water should be watered once before freezing in winter to make it safe to survive the winter. Fertilization should be carried out according to the growth status of the plant. generally, 100-200 jin of mature animal manure should be applied to each adult plant from September to October each year, and 1-2 jin compound fertilizer should be applied to each plant in early spring.

II. Matters needing attention in Taxus culture

After sowing or cutting to cultivate seedlings, it is best to choose to transplant before sprouting in early spring, large seedlings to transplant with soil, in addition, in daily management to often loosen the soil and weed, but also can spread litter in the root system, so as to maintain the acidity of the soil, in autumn and winter every year to do a good pruning, to maintain a good tree posture. In the autumn and winter every year to do a good pruning, maintain a good tree posture. When the branches and leaves at the bottom of the trunk are thicker, yellow leaves and withered branches and leaves will be produced due to insufficient ventilation, and the branches and buds that are too dense can also be trimmed properly.

When watering, natural Rain Water is the best, followed by clean river and lake water, and if it is well water, we should pay attention to the acidity and alkalinity. If the alkalinity is too heavy, it is disadvantageous to plant growth. In addition, we should also pay attention to the water temperature, the water temperature had better be close to the air temperature, which is beneficial to plant growth, and when using tap water, we should first store it in a container for 1-2 days before watering, so as not to cause physiological wilting and cause plant death.

On the whole, it is not difficult to cultivate yew, it does not have much requirements for the environment, pay attention to avoid direct sunlight. Hurry up to plant a yew with both ornamental value and environmental purification function.
