Taxus is a very precious plant, has begun to be on the verge of extinction, it is a flower culture treasures, has a high ornamental value and environmental purification ability, in addition, its anti-cancer effect is well-known in the world, so it has high medicinal value. All these lead to its extremely high value, and many begin to plant it, so how to raise the yew, and what should we pay attention to when raising it? Let's take a look.

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.

2. Methods of reproduction

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. Taxus mairei cuttings and hardwood cuttings can be used for cutting propagation, but it is best to use the tender branches of the plant in the same year, so that the survival rate is high, and the cuttings can be soaked in naphthalene acetic acid solution for 2-3 hours, which is beneficial to rooting.

3. Watering and fertilization

Taxus is a plant that likes to be moist, but is afraid of waterlogging, so keep the soil moist at all times, especially in times of drought. However, drainage and waterlogging prevention measures should be taken when it is rainy in summer, the temperature begins to drop in autumn, it is necessary to water less, it is most appropriate to keep the soil not dry or wet, and pour frozen water 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.

4. Points for attention

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. Attention should be paid to the water quality when watering, the 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.
