It has good nourishing and tonifying effect, can benefit heart and spleen, tonify qi and blood, and is a kind of fruit with high economic value. So what conditions do you need to grow longan? Let's take a look.

1. Temperature requirement

Longan is suitable for growing in warm climates. it can grow normally in areas where there is no frost or short-term frost in winter. Its annual average growth temperature is 21-23 degrees. In January, the temperature is 12-16 degrees. In winter, it can not be lower than 1 degree below zero. If the temperature is below 0 degrees, its seedlings will die easily. When the temperature is below-4 degrees, adult plants will also produce varying degrees of freezing damage. Therefore, in front of the dragon, the first thing to do is to test whether the local temperature meets its growth needs.

2. Soil requirements

Longan does not have strict requirements for soil, and it can grow normally in barren, dry and acidic goose soil, but if the surface is sandy loam and the bottom is clay, longan has shorter plant life, lower yield and poor economic income. Longan is suitable for planting in the soil with deep soil layer, loose soil, good drainage and good permeability. Before planting, the soil can be ploughed and organic fertilizer can be applied as base fertilizer, so longan can grow better and the yield is very high.

3. Moisture requirement

Longan likes wet and drought-tolerant fruit trees, but is afraid of waterlogging. During the whole growth period, the demand for water in each growth stage is different. During the period from autumn shoot to spring shoot, it needs less water. Only in this way can we avoid sprouting in winter and accumulate more nutrients, which is beneficial to flower bud differentiation and flowering and fruiting in the coming year. There is more demand for water from July to August in summer. If there is a shortage of water during this period, it will affect the growth of roots and shoots, thus affecting yield and quality. When the fruit is about to mature, the demand for water is also very high, long drought and sudden rain and drought will cause fruit cracking and fruit drop, so it is necessary to do a good job in the regulation and control of water.
