How to cultivate yew

1. Lighting

Yew seedlings within three years prefer shade, while large seedlings after three years need to gradually see sunlight, and larger plants need to grow under full light.

2. Soil

The yew plant is not very demanding in terms of soil, as long as it is loose, fertile and slightly acidic.

3. Watering

Yew is a relatively drought-resistant plant, so do not water it too much when caring for it. It is better to keep it dry than wet, just meet its basic needs.

4. Fertilization

The yew plant is not very demanding on fertilizers; it only needs to be given a thin layer of nitrogen fertilizer every 15 to 20 days during the maintenance period.

5. Temperature

The yew tree is relatively cold-resistant and can survive the winter normally at temperatures around 0 degrees.

6. Pruning

When caring for the yew tree indoors, it is necessary to prune it, and pinch off the new buds when they sprout in spring every year. If this is not done, the branches will be relatively slender. Generally, the shape of the tree will become disordered after about two years, causing shedding inside or at the bottom, so moderate pruning is required during this growth period.
