1. The seeds should be shelled in time (it is best to finish shelling on the same day). When shelling, do not knock the uncracked seeds too hard, but tap them twice. if you do not crack, you should shell them after 1 or 2 days. when shelling, many people should divide the work and cooperate. Don't hit the seed shell too hard when shelling, so as not to damage the germ part of the seed. The shelled seeds should be spread out in a cool place to prevent the seeds from getting feverish and burning out the seed embryos. Seeds should be sowed as soon as they are opened, and should not be stored, otherwise the germination rate will decrease drastically, and cold air should be avoided after sowing. In order to promote seed germination, improve seed germination rate and germination potential, and avoid seed carrying bacteria and virus, seed pretreatment is needed. Soak the seeds with 50% carbendazim wettable powder 500 times solution for 1 hour, or disinfect the rich trees with 100 times formalin solution for 10 minutes.

After sowing, pour through water (pots should be permeable, not stagnant water) and place them in a semi-overcast environment, and then choose whether or not to cover the film according to the temperature. Under the condition of high temperature and high humidity, the germination rate will be higher.

Lighting: the cultivation of rich trees should be placed indoors where there is plenty of sunshine, and attention should be paid to the leaves facing the sun, which should not be shaded for a long time, otherwise the branches and leaves will be distorted.

2. Watering: the rich tree has a strong adaptability to water. The first principle of watering the rich tree is that it is better to be wet than dry, to water more in the hot summer season, to water less in winter, to water more in the prosperous period, and to water less if the plant is newly planted. Under normal circumstances, watering once every 15 to 20 days is enough.

Fertilization: rich trees have a great demand for fertilizer, and the proportion of fertilizer soil can be 1/3 when changing pots, including humus fallen leaves, mixed bones, mixed bean cake dregs and so on. During the growing period of the rich tree (that is, from May to September), mature liquid fertilizer or flower fertilizer should be applied every 15 days to make it have deep roots and luxuriant leaves.
4. Temperature: if the temperature of the rich tree is too low or the humidity is not enough, the leaves may fall, and in serious cases, the branches will be bald, and the plant may die. The temperature should be kept above 15 ℃, and the branches and leaves should be sprayed frequently to increase humidity, while in late autumn and winter, attention should be paid to cold prevention and anti-freezing work.
5. Change the basin: the newly introduced plants of the rich tree do not have to change the pot in the same year to prevent the tree from getting out of shape. the suitable season for changing the basin is spring, or you can use the semi-dormant state of the plant in July and August to change the basin. Basin soil requirements are relatively strict, should be slightly tidal, good drainage is appropriate, can use acidic sandy loam containing humus.
