When you first buy a banyan, you should first let it adapt to the environment. It should be placed in a warm place with ventilation and temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius. Be sure not to water and fertilize it in a hurry. Observe the soil moisture, wait until it is dry before watering, and do not water too much at a time, so as to avoid waterlogging of its roots. Wait until it has adapted to the new environment, and then water it normally. You can wipe the leaves with wet towels on time to increase the humidity of the leaves, which is more conducive to the growth of the leaves.

1. Soil

It has low requirements for soil quality. As long as it is loose sandy soil, it is OK. You can use some garden soil, river sand and rotten leaf soil to mix. Such planting soil has good air permeability and strong drainage capacity. Moreover, the soil has river sand and humus in rotten leaves, and is also very nutritious.When you buy it back, you don't need to change the soil.

2. Environment

When you just bought it back, you should give it a comfortable environment with good indoor ventilation.It can grow normally as long as there is bright light, if you want it to grow faster, you can get more sun, but you must pay attention to avoid sun exposure in summer.The only requirement for temperature is to winter at a temperature above 10 C. At other times, normal room temperature can meet its temperature requirements.

3. Watering

Do not water it thoroughly for the first time after it is placed at home. It will take some time for it to recover its growth rate. The water demand is not high. Just water it a little to keep it moist.In the growth period to increase the number of watering, in the summer can be more spray water to increase humidity, winter pay attention to less watering, to prevent water frozen root rot.

4. Fertilization

You don't need to fertilize when you first buy it.After it has fully adapted to the environment, it needs to be fertilized every two weeks during the growing period, and if it grows slowly, it can add 20% more fertilizer each time.If the fertilizer is not properly applied, the leaves will lose their bright green color and the top of the leaves will turn yellow and dry.It is better to lay a thin layer of fertilizer at the bottom as a base fertilizer when repotting properly, as a fertilizer before the growing period.
