Cultivation methods of Penglai pine (on the Feng Shui function of Penglai pine)

Penglai pine originated in Natal, South Africa, and is now widely planted all over the world. Penglai pine is loved by many people for its "furry" appearance. Penglai pine likes to grow in a warm, humid and cool environment. It is not cold-resistant, afraid of strong light and high temperature, nor tolerant of drought and water accumulation, so it is still difficult to reproduce. Next, from the aspects of soil, light, water and fertilizer management, matters needing attention and so on, we can understand the cultivation method of Penglai pine.

1. Soil selection

Penglai pine has strong adaptability to the environment, but it is not tolerant to salt and alkali. Therefore, when choosing soil, we should choose slightly acidic soil with good drainage and permeability, and loosen the soil every once in a while to ensure the supply of nutrients.

2. Proper lighting

Penglai pine likes sunshine and grows in an environment with abundant sunshine and suitable temperature. It is best to breed in spring and autumn. In hot summer, shading treatment should be carried out to avoid direct glare of burning blades. In winter when the temperature is low, some light should be added to avoid the slow growth of Pinus bungeana due to lack of light.

3. Water and fertilizer management

In spring and summer, Penglai pine grows fast and needs more water and nutrients, so watering and fertilizing in spring and autumn are more than usual. But be careful not to accumulate water in the basin, otherwise the roots of Pinus bungeana will fester. Give priority to with potash fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer, and apply fertilizer once every half month to ensure sufficient nutrients.

4. Preventive measures

When planting Penglai pine, it should be placed in a ventilated and cool place to avoid direct sunlight, which will lead to yellowing or withering of leaves; The temperature is high in spring and summer, and the water evaporates quickly, so it needs to be watered frequently. As the temperature drops in late autumn, the frequency of watering will gradually decrease. In addition, Penglai pine should be pruned from time to time to keep its beautiful shape.
