Cultivation methods and precautions of Hackberry

1. Temperature

The adaptability of the Chinese hackberry is very good, and it is also very cold-resistant. Generally, it can spend the winter outdoors in some places in the Yangtze River Basin, so its temperature requirements are generally not particularly high. As long as the temperature is not too high.

2. Lighting

Because it likes light, we usually place it in a sunny place with good ventilation. There is no need to block the sun in the summer, because if it is too cool, it will be easier for it to grow only one branch, and the branches will be thinner and the leaves will be larger, which will affect its ornamental effect. But if it is placed in the room, it is best not to leave it there for too long.

3. Watering

Because it is relatively moisture-resistant, but also has a certain degree of drought resistance. But don't water too much. Moreover, the water supply should be controlled throughout its growth period, so that its leaves can become smaller, greatly improving its ornamental value. I need to remind you that when watering it, try not to let the water spray on the leaves, otherwise the leaves will grow too fat. So when watering, just remember to alternate between dry and wet. Generally, you just need to keep the soil in the pot moist and slightly dry. In winter, it will enter a dormant state, and you should reduce the amount of water at this time.

4. Fertilization

It is very important to fertilize it in a certain amount. Not too much fertilizer, but not too little fertilizer, otherwise its leaves will turn yellow. We usually decide based on the growth of the tree in the pot and use fertilizer reasonably.

5. Proper pruning

When it sprouts, it is very strong and especially resistant to pruning. However, you should pay attention to pruning when the plant is young, so that you can promote its main trunk and make it thicker and more curved, which will help it grow more beautiful in the future.
