Ginkgo tree potted planting method

To pot a ginkgo tree, you should first choose a clay pot of suitable diameter and put some mixed soil of pine needles, coal slag, perlite, and leaf mold into it. Then, during the growing period, you should repot it every two years and prune it in conjunction with the repotting to promote root growth.

How to grow a Ginkgo tree in a pot

1. Prepare seeds:

To plant a ginkgo tree in a pot, you must first select plump and large ginkgo seeds, but in fact they are hollow inside and have no kernels. They will not germinate after planting. Peel off the skin of the ginkgo fruits you have found and put them in the sun to dry for later use.

2. Start sowing:

The dried ginkgo nuts can be sown. Choose a smaller flowerpot and plant them in loose and breathable soil. When sowing ginkgo nuts, place the pointed end down and the round end up, and cover them with about 2 cm of soil.

3. Potted plant maintenance:

After planting the ginkgo nuts, you need to water them thoroughly and place them in a warm place to wait for them to germinate. If you want the ginkgo nuts to germinate faster, you can soak the seeds for about 72 hours and wait until the seeds start to germinate before planting them. In this way, the ginkgo seedlings will germinate in about 3 days.

1. Planting method:

Before planting ginkgo trees, you first need to select mature and healthy seedlings, and then prepare fertile and loose soil. After planting, place the plants in a sunny and ventilated place. Water them once every week or so to keep the soil moist, which is conducive to the later growth of the plants.

2. Sowing and planting:

Seeding is one of the methods of planting ginkgo trees. It is best to sow in spring. Before sowing, you need to collect the seeds and clean them, then sprinkle the seeds on the soil and cover them with 3-4cm thick soil. After planting, you need to water them in time to keep the soil moist.

Key points for caring for potted ginkgo trees

1. Watering:

When caring for potted ginkgo trees, keep the soil moist, not too dry, but also not waterlogged. In the summer, when the temperature is high and the light is strong, the ginkgo leaves are large and evaporate quickly, so you should water them in the morning and evening without interruption. Water less often after autumn.

2. Fertilization:

When caring for potted ginkgo trees, basal fertilizer should be applied every winter. Organic fertilizer, such as decomposed bean cake or manure, should be used. During the vigorous growth period in spring and summer, it is advisable to apply thin cake fertilizer water or decomposed human feces and urine to promote the growth of branches and leaves and maintain the fresh green leaf color.

3. Pruning:

When caring for potted ginkgo trees, they should be pruned once before budding in spring each year. The branches retained should be sparse rather than dense. For small and medium-sized bonsai, it is sufficient to retain 3-5 branches.
