It likes sunny growing environment and likes sunshine, but its seedlings like shade. In winter, it needs plenty of sunshine. In summer, it should be properly shaded to avoid sunshine exposure.
It likes warm and humid climate and is not cold resistant. It grows best when the temperature is kept at 25 ℃ - 30 ℃. Indoor potted culture should be placed in the air circulation place and the room temperature should not be lower than 8 ℃.
Yew likes fertile soil.
For potting, the culture soil with loose and fertile soil, high humus content and strong drainage and air permeability is required. It is better to mix 3 loam soil, 1 rotten leaf soil, 1 coarse sand and a small amount of grass and wood ash. The depth of soil layer is controlled in that the bud point of upper rooting is just exposed on the soil surface.
It is usually necessary to keep the relative humidity in the air above 70%.
Water frequently in the growing season, about 2-3 times a week, preferably 10-15 cm deep. With the growth of Taxus chinensis, gradually reduce the number of watering, and often keep the basin soil and surrounding environment moist.
It is better to change pots once a year or every other spring for young trees of P. lanceolata, and once every two or three years for plants over five years.
Arkor is not resistant to drought, so in high temperature and drought season, spray water and spray regularly to the leaves and surrounding areas, increasing air humidity and keeping the soil moist.
Do not allow the basin soil to be too dry or too wet, which is easy to cause the sagging of the lower leaves.
Potted Taxus should be mixed with saprophytic soil, peat soil, pure river sand and a small amount of mature organic fertilizer. In order to keep the color of leaves moist, thin organic liquid fertilizer and calcium fertilizer should be applied once or twice a month for sprouting of new buds in spring.
