First, how to raise the black King Kong rubber tree

1. Potted soil:

Rubber tree taboo clay, on the basin should choose loose, breathable slightly acidic humus, can be used garden soil: rotten leaf soil: River sand by 2:2:1 preparation.

2. Placement (lighting):

After a period of time, they will find that the branches of the rubber tree are very long, easy to fall, and not straight enough. This is often due to lack of light caused by overgrowth. Rubber trees like sunny environment, although it is shady, but long-term culture in the absence of direct light will cause rubber trees to grow, leaves sparse, branches become soft. Just like we who do office work for a long time, certainly not as strong as those who work outdoors, in fact, it is the same truth. Without direct sunlight and insufficient light, the branches of rubber trees will be soft, drooping and skewed if they are not lignified. The cultivation of rubber trees is best placed in the south balcony, so that there is not only oblique direct light, but also avoid the bright noon light, so that the rubber tree can grow strong, leaves dense, thick green.

3. Water and fertilizer management:

Rubber trees grow vigorously in spring, summer and autumn, and liquid fertilizer should be applied every 10-15 days in combination with watering, and pure nitrogen fertilizer and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer can be applied alternately. It can promote the growth of rubber trees and increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer after autumn to improve the resistance of plants and prepare for safe overwintering. Watering must be careful not to do as you please. During the growing period, it is better to keep the basin soil moist. If you can't grasp it, wait for the basin soil surface to dry and then water it thoroughly at once. Keep the rubber pot soil dry in winter, otherwise it is easy to freeze to death.

4. Temperature:

Rubber trees can also grow well at temperatures above 30 ℃, so you don't have to care about the temperature in spring, summer and autumn. Just don't expose yourself to the sun in summer, it's too hot, and if you love it, give it an air conditioner. The main problem is winter. Rubber trees, like other indoor foliage plants, are not resistant to cold and require more than 5 ℃ in winter. Ah,

5. Pruning:

The rubber tree is a child with poor self-control, and it is very unlikely that you leave it alone and want it to flourish. Therefore, it should be managed in the process of its growth. Topping and pruning the trunk according to the height you want to promote branching.

When the rubber tree grows to 1 meter high, it should be topped and trimmed in time, because the leaves of the rubber tree are very large, and the trunk will be under a lot of pressure in the future. Of course, if you want to make the plant a little shorter, you can also top it at the height you want.

In addition to topping and promoting branches, for molded plants, pruning should also be carried out in spring, cutting off the branches inside the crown, withered branches and weak branches, and truncating the branches that are overgrowing and popping out of the head. to maintain the plant shape.

In addition, in the whole growth process, the overdense branches should be cut off at any time, and the overgrown branches should be truncated.
