How to grow banyan trees quickly

1. Appropriate amount of water

Too much or too little water will affect the growth rate of the banyan tree. It is best to touch the soil in the pot with your hand and judge whether to water it based on the feeling. The principle to be followed is "see dry and see wet". Don't water too frequently, but water thoroughly at once. It is also necessary to spray some water on the leaves frequently to increase the surrounding humidity, especially for growers in the north.

2. Suitable temperature difference

Keep the temperature just warm. Special attention should be paid to the temperature difference between morning and evening, which should not be greater than ten degrees. Otherwise, not only will the growth rate of the plant be affected, but in serious cases it will even shed its leaves.

3. Suitable soil

It is best to use loose, well-drained soil. Specifically, you can use garden soil and humus soil, mix them evenly, with each accounting for half. You also need to add some sand in it.

4. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

Using an appropriate amount of fertilizer during the growth period will help the growth rate. But don't do it too many times, otherwise it will backfire.

5. Pest and disease control

Frequent diseases and insect pests will have an adverse effect on growth, so timely prevention is necessary. If diseases such as "root rot" occur, you can spray with chlorothalonil; if pests such as "aphids" and "red spiders" occur, you need to spray with omethoate or a homemade diluted laundry detergent solution.

6. Prune at the right time

During the peak growing season, the plants need to be topped and buds removed. Large-scale pruning is required in autumn to cut off the sick and weak branches and the overgrown branches, so that the remaining strong branches will grow faster.

7. Placement

In addition, you also need to pay attention to the placement location, mainly considering the light and ventilation conditions, and put it in a place with good light and ventilation.
