Cultivation methods and precautions of small-leaf banyan

The small-leaf banyan tree is particularly easy to grow. It can adapt to an environment with sufficient fertilizer and water, is drought-resistant and water-resistant, and can grow in cracks in rocks. If well maintained, its ornamental value is relatively high.

How to grow small-leaf banyan tree

1. Soil

When cultivating small-leaf banyan trees, you should choose humus soil with good drainage and air permeability. You can also choose soil that is half garden soil and half humus, and mix them according to the proportion, which can also make the small-leaf banyan tree grow better.

2. Temperature

The small-leaf banyan tree is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment. If the ambient temperature is below 0 degrees, the plant will be frostbitten, which will cause the banyan tree to grow poorly. When the weather is cold, move the banyan tree to a warm indoor place for maintenance and control the ambient temperature between 15 degrees and 25 degrees.

3. Lighting

The small-leaf banyan tree likes the sun but is not resistant to the sun. When growing the small-leaf banyan tree, if the light is too strong, the plant will be sunburned, causing the leaves of the banyan tree to turn yellow and dry. It is necessary to provide shade for the small-leaf banyan tree.

Precautions for maintenance of small-leaf banyan tree

When caring for small-leaf banyan trees, pay attention to proper pruning, and choose to do it during the dormant period of the plant. The sap flows faster during the growth period, and more white liquid will flow out after pruning, which is not conducive to the growth of straight plants. In addition, banyan trees maintained indoors should often open windows for ventilation to prevent yellowing of leaves in an overly hot environment.
