What kind of soil is podocarpus suitable for?

The soil for cultivating podocarpus is generally sandy loam. Such soil can make the roots of podocarpus more stable and less prone to skew. It can also grow normally in other soils, and podocarpus has a strong adaptability to soil.

It is best to raise podocarpus loose and fertile, so that the podocarpus can grow and survive better. Generally, you can put some base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. The soil needs to be loosened regularly.

Because the soil will be compacted, it is not conducive to the absorption of water and nutrients by podocarpus. Generally, it is better for us to choose to loosen the soil once a month.

The requirement of podocarpus on soil is that it needs to have a certain amount of water permeability and nutrients, so that the roots of podocarpus can grow strongly. Generally, the soil used for planting podocarpus can be sandy soil, humus or other well-drained soil, and if there are none, you can also directly use ordinary vegetable garden soil to plant podocarpus. In addition, before podocarpus is potted, some compound fertilizer needs to be applied to the bottom of the pot, which can provide some nutrient needs for podocarpus.

Podocarpus is a kind of green plant that does not have high requirements for potting soil, even if it is planted with pure garden soil, it can grow very well, but pure garden soil is easy to compact, and a little attention will affect the growth of plants, so we can prepare some transparent substrate by ourselves, and use humus, peat soil, and perlite to prepare and plant according to the ratio of 2:1:1, and when planting, the root soil can be removed by one-third, and the root system will be exposed, so as to better contact with the new soil.

Podocarpus is shade-tolerant, prefers warm and humid climates, and has poor cold tolerance. Prefers fertile, loose, well-drained, slightly acidic sandy soils. I don't pay much attention to the use of soil:

Half sand and half soil plus honeycomb coal can be. The key point is that the bottom must be cushioned with sand to prevent water accumulation, so as to promote the root to breathe without accumulation. Before potting, broken roots, rotten roots, and wounds must be pruned evenly, and if necessary, cut off some damaged leaves to reduce nutrient consumption and improve survival rate.

1. You can only use nutrient soil, add some river sand, cinder, and ordinary garden soil.

2. It can also be mixed with humus, peat, and perlite in a ratio of 2:1:1.

Such soil is rich in humus, loose and breathable, well drained, very conducive to the growth of the root system of podocarpus, only the root system is good, podocarpus can grow strong and lush, many young shoots, many new branches.

When planting podocarpus soil, you must know a little trick when mixing soil, that is, it is better to use fertile, well-drained, loose-textured, well-drained sandy soil to plant.

The potting soil should be kept moist during the growing period, and it is best to add a small amount of river sand with humus, or add slag particles, at least a small half of the particles should be added, and the soil must not be barren and easy to compact. For example, ordinary soil, ordinary soil podocarpus, is very easy to harden after watering, which will affect its growth.

Sandy fertile and well-drained slightly acidic soil, potted plants can be prepared with 5 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of coal soil and 3 parts of coarse sand to make culture soil.

Podocarpus is distributed in many provinces in China and Japan. Podocarpus prefers warm and humid climates, and grows at a suitable temperature of 15-28. Weak cold tolerance and strong negative tolerance.

It prefers well-drained and moist sandy loam soil, has strong adaptability to soil, and can survive on saline-alkali soil. Podocarpus is an evergreen coniferous tree with a height of 20 m and a diameter at breast height of 60 cm; The bark is gray or grayish-brown, shallowly longitudinally lobed, and sheds in thin sheets; The branches spread out or obliquely, dense. The leaves are spiral-shaped, strip-lanceolate, slightly curved.

Male flowers spike-shaped, axillary, with several triangular bracts at the base; Female cones solitary leaf axils, peduncled, with a few bracts at the base.

Podocarpus prefers slightly alkaline, sandy soils. Coastal areas do not need to be specially prepared, garden soil and sandy soil 2:1 can be.

Podocarpus does not have strict requirements for soil quality, and it is suitable to loosen the fertile and well-permeable soil in the process of raising billets, which will grow faster. If it has been formed into a pot, relatively speaking, it is possible to add some humus with yellow loam, which can retain fertilizer and water, reduce the difficulty of management, and will not cause the branches to grow in vain, resulting in a decline in appreciation value.

1. Soil of podocarpus bonsai:

It is required to be rich in humus, loose and fertile, well-drained slightly acidic culture soil, with yellowing of leaves in alkaline soil, slow growth and long life.

Second, the cultivation method of podocarpus should pay attention to the following points:

1. In order to maintain the perfect shape of the tree, podocarpus can be pruned all year round, mainly cutting off steep long branches and diseased dead branches; It is best to remove the flower buds in time when flowering, so as not to consume additional nutrients and affect the growth.

2. Podocarpus likes fertile and loose soil, and can be repotted once in 2 or 3 years, especially in spring 3 and April.

3. Podocarpus is resistant to shade and dampness, and should be watered frequently during the growth period, but it should not be watered. In summer, the foliage should be sprayed frequently to make the leaf color bright green and grow well.

4. The formed bonsai should not be fertilized more, and the thin cake wastewater should be applied 1 or 2 times in spring, and it should be stopped in autumn to avoid germinating autumn buds, which is not conducive to wintering.

It likes warm and humid climate, weak cold tolerance, and is ornamental in potted plants in North China; Strong resistance to negatives; It prefers well-drained and moist sandy loam soil, has strong adaptability to soil, and can survive on saline-alkali soil. Strong resistance to sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen oxide and other pollutant gases; Strong resistance to pests and diseases.

1. Podocarpus does not belong to a species of pine or fir family, but belongs to the genus Podocarpus of the podocarpus family. 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 is 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.

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.

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.
