How to grow Qibao tree

The maintenance environment of Qibao Tree Brocade

The growth of Qibaoshujin requires light to complete photosynthesis, but it should not be placed directly under strong light. It grows best under scattered light conditions. That is, the plants need to be grown in a warm and well-lit place, but avoid direct sunlight.

Temperature Problems of Qibao Tree Brocade

The seven-treasure tree likes a cool and dry climate, but the temperature must not be lower than eight degrees, otherwise it will easily freeze to death. When the temperature is above 30 degrees in the summer, the plants will enter a semi-dormant state, stop growing, and even lose their leaves (but the leaves will grow again when the weather gets colder in autumn). Therefore, when the plant enters a dormant state in the summer, it is necessary to control the plant's water intake or stop watering completely until the temperature drops, otherwise the roots will be soaked in water and rot and die.

The growth period of Qibaoshujin

Spring and autumn are the best growing seasons for Qibao Tree Brocade. The temperature is relatively cool at this time and the plant grows fastest. Attention should be paid to fertilization to ensure nutrition. It is best to choose nitrogen fertilizer, preferably twice a month.

Propagation of Qibao Tree

There are many ways to propagate the Qibao Tree, including cuttings, division, and sowing.

Cuttings of Qibao Tree Brocade

Cuttings are suitable for summer. Cut the fleshy stem segments from mature and healthy mother plants, treat the wounds, place them in a clean place to dry slightly, and then insert them into the soil. During this period, the soil in the pot needs to be kept dry and slightly moist. The cuttings will take root about a week after cuttings.
