Cultivation method of Hovenia dulcis

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Hovenia dulcis has good adaptability to temperature and is also quite cold-resistant. The suitable temperature is between ten and twenty-five degrees. However, low temperatures generally do not harm it. Generally speaking, it is safer if the temperature is not lower than minus fifteen degrees. In an environment of minus thirty degrees, it might get frostbite.

2. Light: Hovenia dulcis also has high requirements for sunshine hours. When it is in the seedling stage, it is relatively afraid of strong light, so it needs to be shaded when it encounters it. After that, it will have higher requirements for sunlight and can basically provide full sunlight.

3. Watering: Hovenia dulcis requires a lot of water. Especially in spring and autumn, special attention should be paid to irrigation work. In addition, during the flowering and fruiting period, you also need to pay attention to replenishing water. Water less in winter.

4. Fertilization: More fertilizer is needed in spring and autumn. When it is in the seedling stage, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used. After that, compound fertilizer was mainly used.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be done by sowing. Generally speaking, it is better to choose seeds produced by plants that are more than 20 years old. The seeds can be collected artificially or naturally and then stored properly. They can be stored in sand with a humidity level between 40 percent and ingestion. Before sowing, remove the cuticle on the outside of the seeds. The "ridge sowing" method can be adopted. The row spacing is about fifty centimeters. After sowing, cover the soil to a depth of three to four centimeters.

2. Pruning: This work is usually done after the leaves fall. The main targets are diseased, insect-infested and dry branches. In addition, its crown can be repaired to give it a better shape and make it easier for light to pass through.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: There is "ulcer disease", the frequency of which is relatively high in late June. Class A thiophanate can be used for prevention and control, and the surrounding temperature can be adjusted in time. There is also "leaf blight", for which Bordeaux can be used.

2. Pests: The main pests are aphids, which harm tender shoots and leaves. It can be controlled by using dimethoate.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and does not emit any toxic gas.

2. Can it be raised at home? Generally not, because its height is very high, between ten and twenty-five meters, and it takes up a very large space.
