1. Podocarpus does not belong to a species of pine or fir family, but belongs to the genus Podocarpus of the podocarpaceae. Also known as Luohan fir tree, evergreen Luohan cedar, soil cedar, money pine, Xiandu cypress, Luohan cypress, Jiangnan cypress, is an evergreen tree, can be up to 18 meters, usually pruned to keep low, the leaves are alternate, arranged in a spiral shape, also divided into male and female, the seed is larger than the seed, the maturity is red, plus the green seed, like the bald monk wearing a red monk's robe, so the name of the podocarpus.

2. Podocarpus is suitable for sandy loam, has strong adaptability to soil, and can survive on saline-alkali soil.

3. Sandy loam refers to the percentage of mineral particles of different sizes such as sand, granules and clay particles that make up the soil, and gravel larger than 2mm is generally not considered. Although the sandy loam soil still has a considerable amount of sand, it also contains a small amount of particles and clay particles, so it has the ability to bind between soil particles. When dry, it can be a block, but it is easy to break, and when it is wet, it can feel sticky, and the clods that are held into it will not be broken by caressing it carefully.

Podocarpus with loose and breathable spikes, good drainage and fertile sandy loam is good, it is best to guess the end of the file every 2 years to replace the new soil during the breeding period, so as not to soil compaction, it is necessary to keep the soil slightly moist during the growth period, and the soil can also be mixed with an appropriate amount of base fertilizer before use, which can improve the fertility of the soil.

1. Soil requirements

Podocarpus for the soil requirements are not high, generally use loose and breathable, good drainage and fertile sandy loam soil breeding is better, we can use garden soil, coal soil and coarse sand according to the ratio of 5:2:3 mixed preparation, should not use clay heavy soil cultivation, otherwise it is not conducive to its healthy growth.

2. Dinghong Kai period to change soil

When cultivating podocarpus, it is necessary to change the soil regularly, so as to avoid the phenomenon of soil compaction, resulting in its root system can not grow and absorb nutrients, it is generally best to replace it every 2 years, pay attention to the time of changing the soil, to properly cut off some weak root stumps, and the best time to change the soil is in the spring of each year.

3. Reasonable watering

Podocarpus likes to grow in a moist soil environment, so when breeding it, it needs to be watered frequently, and it is generally best to master the principle of "dry and thorough", when the weather is dry in summer, it should be watered frequently, so as not to cause it to lack water, and it is best to keep the soil slightly dry in winter.

4. Sufficient nutrients

When cultivating podocarpus, it also needs to be given sufficient nutrients, when planting it, it is necessary to apply an appropriate amount of decomposed fertilizer in the soil as base fertilizer to improve the fertility of the soil, and when it grows, it is also necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently, so that podocarpus can grow vigorously.

When cultivating podocarpus, use fertile, loose and well-drained soil, preferably with a slightly acidic pH, in which it will grow better and grow more robustly. Note that soil that is too saline-alkaline or too poor must not be used, which will hinder growth and is prone to poor growth.

The soil can be mixed with humus, river sand and garden soil, and then mixed with an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to improve nutrients, so that the demand can be met, and Bika granular fertilizer can be selected. Or mix it with garden soil, coal soil and coarse sand. In addition, during the later management period, it is necessary to pay attention to the water quality of watering, if the alkalinity is too heavy, you can add an appropriate amount of vinegar to maintain acidity.

Second, how to plant podocarpus.

When planting podocarpus, it is necessary to prepare suitable soil according to the above method. Prune the root system before potting, and cut off some old roots and dead roots, so that you can better absorb water and nutrients in the later stage, and can also promote faster potting. After pruning and drying, it can be put into the soil.

When planting, put in the right amount of soil first, and then put in the plant so that its roots are extended. Handle the filling and compaction, and water it thoroughly once in time to let the root system and the soil be tightly combined. After planting, it is properly shaded and the temperature is controlled, and the growth can be resumed soon.
