A little lower temperature will affect the normal growth of rambutan, the average temperature is preferably about 25 degrees, and rambutan also likes a wet environment, it will not occur wind damage, when rambutan seedlings are extremely intolerant to drought, it is necessary to increase water for them properly. Water is most needed during the fruit growth period, and the annual precipitation for planting should be at least in 1800mm.

2. Seed washing

After the variety has been selected, the seeds should be washed and soaked again in order to disinfect the seeds and scrub the sugar on the seeds in clean water. If you have pulp, you must rub it off, and make sure that there is no residual sugar and pulp on the seed, because if it is not washed clean, the fragrance will affect ants or other pests, which is easy to arouse their interest. gradually it will be attracted to nibble, which will have a greater impact on the seeds and buds.

3. Weeding

When the first seedling appears, weeding should be carried out around in time, and the soil should be loosened between each plant. However, it should be noted that when weeding, we should be careful not to be too fierce, so as to prevent the underground roots from being hurt. Water and fertilizer should be applied thinly once a month, there should be compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, not excessive, and the amount of fertilizer should be determined according to the quantity. This compound fertilizer is beneficial to the balanced absorption of nutrients of rambutan.

The pest of red hair mainly occurs in the small seedling stage of rambutan, and the poisonous moth will harm its leaves, if the number of insects is not large. It is best to use the method of manual hunting. If it has caused a disaster, it is necessary to use methamidone salt as an insecticide, this pesticide is more lethal, a spray can see the obvious effect. After spraying, due to the strong penetration ability of tocopherol salt, it can quickly cause the excitement and paralysis of pests, make the pests die quickly, and have no effect on human beings and animals.

Rambutan is also a kind of fruit that likes light very much. if you want rambutan to achieve good growth, flowering and fruit, you must have sufficient light time. Although rambutan will not cause wind damage, the strong wind will easily blow off the branches and leaves on the plant, resulting in falling leaves and branches of rambutan, resulting in adverse effects on the growth and development of rambutan. The soil is rich, the soil layer is deep and the sandy soil is often moist, which is beneficial to the growth of plants.
