1. Selection of land for planting

Holly is a cool and humid plant, suitable for growing in cool and humid environments. Although it can grow normally in ordinary soil, if you want to produce high yields, try to plant in plots rich in organic matter and fertile soil. Holly generally has two planting methods of sowing and cuttage. Sowing and planting grow slowly. Soaking and germination should be done well before sowing, otherwise the germination time is very slow. Therefore, except for the first planting, seeding method is not recommended for later reproduction. Cuttage planting method is simple, and the survival rate is very high, is the most commonly used planting method.

2. Water and fertilizer management

As mentioned earlier, holly is a hygrophilous plant that cannot grow in a dry environment, so we need to water it in time. After planting seedlings, it is necessary to irrigate enough root water, and regularly observe soil moisture, and water in time for drought and water shortage. When moisture content is too poor, water can be poured once a half month. Holly growth ability is very strong, so in the growth process of fertilizer is also relatively large, each topdressing can be carried out together with intertillage weeding work. Topdressing times should not be less than twice a year, nitrogen fertilizer can be used, topdressing should not be excessive, avoid holly excessive growth.

3. Shaping and pruning

Holly branches and leaves more, each year there will be more than secondary shoots sprouting, very resistant to pruning. So we need to prune holly trees regularly, once a season when they are overgrown. The most important is summer and autumn, summer is the fastest growing holly season, to be timely over-dense, too long and over-grown branches cut off. Irregular pruning will not only lead to tree chaos, affecting commodity value, but also reduce tree permeability, resulting in poor growth. Autumn can be appropriate for holly shaping, according to their own planting direction, ornamental holly can be trimmed into a spherical shape, appropriate thinning, to maintain the current state.

4. Pest control

Holly disease resistance is relatively strong, so the incidence rate is low under the premise of proper management. However, if not managed properly, some common diseases and insect pests will occur, such as leaf spot disease, aphids and so on. Diseases and insect pests are more harmful to holly, so we must strengthen management. Take preventive measures, disinfect regularly, reduce germs in the field and reduce the incidence. Do not be caught off guard after the onset, check the specific diseases and insect pests in time, and then use the corresponding prevention and control measures and drugs for treatment, and deal with them in time to minimize the losses.
