Cherry tree planting technology in Hunan

1. Soil

The cherry tree has relatively high requirements for soil. Because of its well-developed root system, it requires the soil to be fertile, loose, deep, and slightly acidic. If it is to be maintained in a potted plant, it can be prepared with garden soil and sandy soil.

2. Temperature

Cherry trees are relatively cold-resistant and need to be maintained at an ambient temperature of around 25°C during cultivation. If the winter is too cold, appropriate warming measures need to be taken and potted plants need to be moved indoors for maintenance.

3. Water and fertilizer

When growing cherry trees, pay attention to watering them frequently and do not let the soil become too dry. When fertilizing, follow the principle of "thin application and frequent fertilization." Generally, fertilizer should be applied once every half a month. In autumn, you also need to use some potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
