Yew potted plants are suitable for home cultivation. Yew is an evergreen plant. Its leaves are small and similar to needles. The plant has many branches and a full plant shape. Growing yew potted plants indoors can decorate your home environment. In addition, yew can purify the air, which is of great benefit to the environment. The yew potted plant is very beautiful and evergreen all year round. It is suitable for indoor maintenance. It likes shade and tolerates drought. When maintaining it, pay attention to watering control and avoid excessive watering. If there is stagnant water, it will be detrimental to the growth of the plant. After transplanting the yew, do not expose it to the sun immediately. Generally, seedlings within 3 years of transplanting need shade, and they can gradually receive light in the later period. Northeastern yew is relatively cold-resistant and can be planted in the north.

1. Soil

The soil for planting yew should be slightly acidic. Alkaline soil will cause it to grow poorly and produce a large number of yellow leaves. You can mix peat soil and perlite soil in equal proportions, and then add an appropriate amount of humus or organic fertilizer to improve soil fertility.

2. Flowerpots

Yew can be planted in larger flowerpots, but it also depends on the size of the seedlings and you can choose a suitable flowerpot. For modeling yew, it is recommended to use a square purple clay pot with a few holes drilled in the bottom of the pot to increase air permeability and water permeability. Repot the yew regularly and change the soil. During the period of vigorous growth, fertilize frequently, pay attention to weeding, and loosen the soil to promote root development. Long-term water shortage will cause wilting, and too much water will cause root rot. It is important to control the amount of watering.

3. Light

Yew is relatively shade-tolerant and does not like direct sunlight, which is detrimental to its growth. For domestically cultivated yew potted plants, you can place them indoors in a semi-shady place or at the corner of the balcony to keep them ventilated. Yew trees that are more than three years old will have increasingly higher requirements for light and require full light maintenance.

4. Water and fertilizer

When cultivating yew, the pot soil should be kept slightly moist, not completely dry, and not allowed to accumulate water. Usually watering will cause dryness and wetness. Fertilizer needs to be applied 3-4 times a year, mainly during the growth period of yew. The fertilizer should be cake fertilizer or farmyard manure. During the maintenance process of yew during the growth period, spray 800 to 1000 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves every three or four days, and spray three to four times continuously to help the plant grow rapidly.

5. Pruning

Potted yew plants should be pruned regularly, and the young shoots should be topping when they sprout to encourage them to sprout more side branches and make the plant fuller. During the growth period, mainly prune off leggy branches, dense branches, diseased branches, etc. Through shaping and pruning, an upright main trunk is cultivated, which promotes the germination of side branches, keeps the plant round, well-proportioned, and compact, and appropriately dwarfs the plant to make the potted landscape more valuable for viewing.
