First, the breeding environment

1. soil: the soil prepared by mixing peat soil and humus soil with a small amount of base fertilizer is suitable for its growth.

2, lighting: Liriodendron likes a semi-cloudy environment, and it can grow normally if it is maintained in a well-ventilated and well-lit place.

3. Watering: It likes humid environment, and its leaves will grow very thick with proper water.

4. Fertilization: The growing period is from March to September, and some compound fertilizers or nitrogen fertilizers are applied every 2 to 3 weeks.

Second, the method of reproduction.

The conventional propagation method of Liriodendron chinense includes cutting propagation:

1, soil insertion: select an annual branch with a length of about 10 cm as the cutting substrate, remove the lower leaves, keep the upper three or four leaves, cut the lower end into inclined planes, insert it into the soil, and then spray water to keep moisture.

2. Water insertion: find a container and fill it with clear water, then insert the cut branches with the length of 7 cm at the lower end of the cuttings into the water and put them in a ventilated place, waiting for them to take root and sprout.

Third, pest control.

There are mainly the hazards of leaf spot, anthracnose and red spider, which can be removed by drugs such as charcoal Fu Mei and dimethoate EC.

Fourth, matters needing attention

1. Change the basin: just change the basin once a year in spring, and the soil used should be loose, breathable and well drained. If you use plastic basin soil, pay attention to drainage.

2. Pruning: If you don't want it to grow too high, you should jack it up and pick the core, so that the lateral buds will grow out soon.
