At the same time, as a high-quality bonsai material Podocarpus also has the characteristics of lush seasons, beautiful posture, strong ornamental, etc., but its wild quantity is not much, even if the market price is often high, there are still many bonsai enthusiasts spend a lot of money to buy. Moreover, the older the Podocarpus is, the higher its price is often, and the factors that determine its price are not only the length of the age, but also the convenience of modeling. So, how does podocarpus grow?

In order to raise Podocarpus, we usually check whether the configuration of the flowerpot is scientific and whether the preparation of the soil is reasonable. General use permeability good, appropriate size, texture conducive to drainage permeable flowerpots; and pot soil to loose permeability, strong permeability of sandy loam is appropriate. Because if the soil is too poor, especially permeability is not good, once watered too much, it can not be discharged in time, and the humidity in the basin is too high, easy to cause the phenomenon of retting roots, rotten roots, which is very unfavorable for the growth of Podocarpus.

Podocarpus podocarpus, which is planted as a potted plant or made into a potted plant, is placed in a very important position. It should be placed in a place with smooth outdoor ventilation for maintenance and management. If it is placed indoors for a long time without light, it is easy to cause yellow leaves, fallen leaves and other phenomena, which may cause death in serious cases. However, in the summer high temperature and high heat environment should not be exposed, often need to be properly shaded or placed in the semi-shade maintenance.

In the growing season, due to the normal growth of Podocarpus needs to consume a lot of water, so you can give some water properly. Especially in the hot summer, when the pot soil becomes dry, water should be replenished in time, and water should be poured through; the temperature in autumn and winter is relatively low, the growth of plants is gradually slowed down, and the evaporation of water is relatively small, so it is necessary to control water in time to avoid the pot soil being too humid.

However, when the winter temperature drops to 5°C, it should be moved indoors in time or covered with plastic bags to keep warm. It is usually recommended to move it directly to indoor maintenance, and at the same time control water in time. It is advisable to keep the pot soil in a dry state, mainly to ensure that the plants can survive the winter smoothly without causing freezing damage. Because podocarpus after freezing, but also prone to poor growth phenomenon.

Although Podocarpus cold-resistant ability is relatively poor, prefer warm growth environment, but summer high temperature season in addition to the need to timely shade, but also can spray more water to cool down, but also can make the leaf color more green, ornamental is also higher. When the winter temperature is as low as 13 ° C, Podocarpus will enter a dormant state; when the summer temperature is too high, it is also easy to dormancy. Therefore, in order to keep Podocarpus alive, temperature management is very important.
