Basin soil selection

Potted false leaf trees, first of all, can not choose too large flowerpots. The false leaf tree is a small plant. When potting, you should choose a smaller flowerpot. Flowerpots are too big and easy to sink water and rot roots. The soil should be loose, permeable, fertile and good drainage sandy soil, slightly acidic is better.

Light and temperature

False leaf trees like sunshine, but also more shade resistant, but avoid direct exposure to strong light. Potted false leaf trees should be kept in a bright place. False leaf trees like to be warm, afraid of heat and cold. The temperature in winter should be kept at a higher level, above 5 ℃. In addition, when the summer is hot, it is necessary to shade the false leaf trees properly. In winter, it is necessary to put the false leaf trees in a sunny room for maintenance.

Watering and fertilization

Water and fertilizer management should be done well in cultivating false leaf trees. Watering should follow the principle of "no drying, no pouring, no pouring". The basin soil should not be too dry to keep wet, but it should also be noted that there should be no ponding, which will be detrimental to the growth of false leaf trees. When the air is dry, water can be sprayed to increase the humidity of the air.

Fertilization does not need to be applied frequently. It can be applied once every 15 to 20 days with thin water or compound fertilizer. In spring and autumn, liquid fertilizer can be applied to promote flowering and bearing.

Reproduction

The propagation of pseudoleafy trees can be seeded and divided, but the propagation is relatively slow and the division is relatively simple.
