How to cultivate Castanopsis fargesii bonsai, cultivation methods and matters needing attention

1, temperature: Xunzi Pingzhi is a native of subtropical region, and likes warm environment, so it has poor cold resistance. After winter, it must be moved indoors for maintenance, and the indoor temperature must be above 8 degrees to survive the winter safely. Don't worry about high temperature in summer, just have more ventilation and ensure air circulation.

2, lighting: it has a strong adaptability to light, like light, indoor maintenance should be placed in a place with sufficient light and sunshine to promote more vigorous growth. Pay attention to the strong light in summer, cover it properly, remove it in time, and don't expose it to the sun to avoid burns. If we lack light for a long time, the growth will be affected, it will grow easily and the leaves will wither.

3. Fertilizer and water: A proper amount of fertilizer and water should be given during the maintenance period, which determines the overall growth. The consumption of fertilizer and water in the growing season is relatively large, so it is necessary to water and moisturize frequently and apply thin fertilizer to supplement fertilizer frequently, so that the growth will be more vigorous. In winter, the growth rate is slow, so it is necessary to control water and stop fertilizer, and generally water it once a week or so. In addition, in case of continuous rainy weather, we should also reduce the number of times to avoid water accumulation.

4. Pruning: Xunzi should be pruned in time during the maintenance period, mostly after hibernation in winter. Cutting off dead branches, twigs, dense branches and infected branches reduces nutrient consumption, which is helpful for overwintering and germination in the next spring.

5. Precautions: Pay attention to changing pots in time during the breeding period to ensure sufficient growth space. Usually, the pots are changed once a year or two, and new nutrient soil is used.
