Cultivation methods and precautions of Bauhinia

Cultivation method of Bauhinia

illumination

Bauhinia likes light by nature, so in addition to avoiding exposure to the scorching sun in summer, sufficient light must be ensured in other seasons. It should be grown in a place where it can absorb scattered light to ensure the normal growth of Bauhinia.

soil

Bauhinia is not very demanding on soil, but grows best in fertile, well-drained soil.

Watering

Bauhinia likes a humid environment, but cannot tolerate flooding.

Water should be applied immediately after planting, again on the third day, and again after the sixth day. After three times, water should be applied according to weather conditions. It is best to keep the soil moist, but waterlogging should be avoided.

Fertilization

Bauhinia likes fertilizer. When there is sufficient fertilizer, it grows vigorously, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and many colorful flowers. When there is a lack of fertilizer, the branches and leaves will be sparse, and the flowers will be few and pale in color.

Therefore, before cultivating Bauhinia, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied. It is best to use leaf mold, manure or dried chicken manure.

Things to note when growing Bauhinia

Water more in summer

The temperature is too high in summer and water evaporates too quickly, so it is necessary to replenish water for the Bauhinia in time. You can spray the leaves or the surrounding environment with water frequently to maintain the air humidity.

Prevent water accumulation

Bauhinia prefers a humid environment, but cannot grow in a waterlogged state, so it is necessary to drain the water in time after the rain to avoid excessive waterlogging that will cause root rot and affect the normal growth of Bauhinia.

Timely pruning

Bauhinia should be pruned frequently from the seedling stage to help form a good plant shape.

After transplanting, the seedlings can be pruned to encourage more branches, expand the nutritional area, accumulate nutrients, and develop the root system.

Pinch off the top during the growing season, remove the multiple suckers in time after planting, and strengthen the renewal of flowering branches.
