Podocarpus formosanus grows in loose, fertile and well-drained slightly acidic soils.In breeding, you can use garden soil or rotten leaf soil, add some river sand and base fertilizer, to prepare its soil.
It is a semi-heliotropic plant and grows well in semi-shade environment, but it needs appropriate light in its growing period.Therefore, after a period of indoor breeding, it can be moved out and placed in the courtyard or balcony to restore its vitality as soon as possible.
It likes warmth and has weak cold resistance.The temperature in summer, spring and autumn can be kept at 17-25 degrees Celsius.In summer, when the temperature is high, it is necessary to cool down properly so as not to cause wilting by evaporation of water.In winter, the temperature should not be lower than 10 to avoid freezing injury.
It likes a damp environment and needs regular watering during the growing period, but it can't accumulate water.If water is accumulated for a long time, it will have black roots, yellow leaves, and even a large number of leaves will fall off, and plants will die.Summer can be irrigated once a day in the morning or evening, spring and autumn can be irrigated once every 2-4 days, winter should reduce the amount of watering, change to water once every 7 days.
It likes fat, but not thick fat.Decomposed organic liquid fertilizer can be used in the growing season, topdressing once every ten days and a half months, and irrigation is needed the next day after fertilization, which is conducive to its absorption.In spring and autumn, apply thin liquid fertilizer with nitrogen fertilizer as the main fertilizer 2-3 times, so that it will grow better.
