How to make black pine take root quickly

Black pine quick rooting method

1. Planting season

The best time to plant black pine is in spring, especially in March and April. It is very beneficial to its survival rate and rooting and germination. It can also be planted in other seasons, but the effect is very general.

2. Planting environment

Although black pine has strong adaptability, it should be noted that black pine likes light, is drought-resistant, and has good resistance to diseases and insects, but it is not cold-resistant and is not resistant to waterlogging. Therefore, for the growth of black pine, try to choose a well-ventilated, sunny, relatively dry and temperature-constant location.

3. Cultivated soil

The soil for cultivating black pine should be taken from the mountainous and hilly areas in the natural environment as much as possible. It should be screened first to remove impurities and foreign matter, and then exposed to the sun for sterilization and disinfection. After that, fertilizers such as wood ash and coal slag should be added to increase the nutrition of the soil.

4. Watering requirements

The growth of black pine requires water, but the amount should be controlled. Water the black pine after planting, water it thoroughly, and then observe the condition of the black pine. Water it again if there are signs of drying. At the same time, if conditions permit, you can collect some rainwater for irrigation.

5. Parts to be trimmed

According to the growth of black pine, necessary pruning should be carried out to maintain the overall stable shape of the black pine, remove excess unnecessary branches and leaves, and avoid waste of nutrients.

Rooting of black pine cuttings

Early spring cuttings often have difficulty taking root due to insufficient soil temperature. Artificially raising the temperature of the rooting part at the lower end of the cuttings, while spraying water and ventilation to lower the environmental temperature of the upper buds can promote rooting.
