1. Culture methods of potted Taxus chinensis

1. Illumination: Taxus is a shady and drought-tolerant plant, which should be placed indoors, properly shaded in summer, not in the room with western sunshine, and not in the air outlet of the air conditioner or next to the heating, which will cause the water evaporation of the leaves of the yew, lead to dehydration of branches and leaves, and finally curl and dry up the leaves. The sunshine time in summer is as short as possible, while autumn and spring can be longer.

two。 Potted soil: the yew chooses a slightly larger flowerpot and punches more holes in the lower part of the pot to enhance the water permeability and air permeability of the flowerpot. The soil should be loose, rich in humus, fertile, water conservation, fertilizer conservation, breathable soil, the soil is slightly acidic, loam is the best. Clay is impermeable, sand keeps fertilizer and water retention is poor, so it is not suitable to be used. In addition, peat soil, perlite and loam can also be used to form a mixed cultivation medium.

3. Moisture: yew basin soil surface appears a little yellow and white, the leaves are slightly curled, do not need to water, just spray the page. When the soil turns white, it should be watered. Watering should be thoroughly watered at once, so that the basin soil can fully absorb enough water. Water every 15-20 days outdoors and once every 20-25 days indoors. Soil moisture content is about 40%. Pay attention to excessive watering and frequent watering will cause yew roots to rot.

4. Fertilization: each plant of yew applies 0.2 jin of organic fertilizer and 0.02 jin of compound fertilizer. It can also increase the application of farm fertilizer and cake fertilizer (such as cottonseed cake, peanut cake, hemp cake). It should be fertilized along the pot wall as far as possible, not close to the root of Taxus mairei. In general, the newly bought yew bonsai has nutritious soil, which does not need to be fertilized within 3 months, and then applied once every 2 to 3 months.

5. Change the pot: about a year after the yew pot, the seedlings gradually grow and the roots are well developed, so it is necessary to transplant and change the pot. Break the old basin without damaging the original soil ball, move it into the new basin, and water the root to ensure the close combination of the root system and the soil and ensure survival. If there are conditions, yew seedlings can be transplanted to the field, the growth rate will be faster.

6. Trimming: the lower branches of the yew bonsai grow too dense, and the dry yellow leaves will fall off. Part of the branches that are too dense can be trimmed off, and they can be shaped arbitrarily in the process of pruning, such as umbrella type, tower type, round type and so on. In order to keep the crown of Taxus mairei graceful, the terminal bud and some lateral buds can be removed moderately.

7. Diseases and insect pests: under normal circumstances, there are very few insect pests in the yew. If the yew is found to be withered or pest, it can be irrigated or sprayed with methyl topiramate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Taxus will have root rot, stem rot and rotten roots during the rainy season, especially young trees, and can be sprayed with dimethazone for maintenance. Leaf blight and bacterial blight are easy to occur in high temperature and dry season, which can be controlled by spraying Bordeaux solution.
