Cultivation methods and precautions of Pistacia chinensis

Habits and characteristics

First of all, this plant has a relatively high demand for light. Secondly, it likes a warm environment and is afraid of severe cold. It has good adaptability, can adapt to drought to some extent, and is not very demanding on soil. Its roots can penetrate very deep into the soil and its root system is very developed.

Specific methods

Light: Plants cannot grow healthily without sunlight, so let them see the sun as much as possible.

Fertilization: We need to adjust this factor according to different periods. When the plant is still a seedling, we mainly apply fertilizers containing N and P elements. If it is in the rapid growth period, then you have to take all kinds of elements into consideration, not just a single element. When it comes to the hardening period, the treatment is different again. Mainly apply fertilizer containing K element, and do not apply N fertilizer anymore. In late August, it is no longer advisable to apply fertilizer.

Weeding: Generally speaking, we should loosen the soil and weed the plants in time after the rain. This is of great significance for their rapid growth.

Soil: Although this plant has no special requirements for soil, good soil quality still plays a very important role in its healthy growth. We usually choose to plant it in places that are rich in nutrients and have good drainage, such as limestone mountains.

Pest and disease control: The main diseases are anthracnose, and there are many insect pests. If the plants unfortunately encounter these disasters, they should be sprayed with pesticides in time for prevention and control.

Precautions

When we apply fertilizer, we must also pay attention to the concentration, which depends on the size of the plant. Young plants should use thinner fertilizers, and the concentration can be appropriately increased for grown plants.
