Cultivation methods and precautions of Sophora japonica

Moisture

It has a huge demand for water during its growing period, and the soil must be kept at a certain degree of moisture. If the upper layer of the soil is found to be slightly dry, water it immediately and make sure to water it sufficiently. It can be kept slightly moist at other times.

Sunlight

It likes to grow in the sun. If there is no sufficient sunlight for a long time, the leaves will shrink and the branches will become thinner.

soil

It is suitable for growing in soil with sufficient nutrients, good air permeability and water permeability, and sandy soil is best. It has well-developed roots, so it needs deeper soil to be planted.

nutrient

First, ensure that the soil for planting has sufficient nutrients, and then apply fertilizer twice a year from June to July. It is best to use fertilizer with a high nitrogen content, and try to stay away from the roots when applying fertilizer.

temperature

In the winter in the north, you need to take measures to keep warm, or plant it in a sheltered place. Try not to place it in a warm indoor environment. If you are in the south, you can place it outdoors over the winter.

prune

It can be done in summer and winter. Pruning in summer is to allow the plant to grow more side branches, making it more lush, while also inhibiting the plant from growing too high. Pruning in winter is to prune away all branches and leaves that are weak, damaged by pests and diseases, and then shape the plant. In addition, all fallen leaves must be cleaned up in winter.
