What are the cultivation methods and precautions of kidney bean trees?

How to grow kidney bean trees

The green bean tree prefers a hot, humid and sunny environment. It is relatively shade-tolerant during the seedling stage and is very afraid of strong light. The plant is resistant to high temperatures and afraid of cold. It is suitable for growing in loose and fertile sandy loam. Rich organic matter is very helpful for the growth of the plant.

When growing green bean trees, loose and fertile sandy loam is generally used for planting. Appropriate shade is needed during the seedling stage, and after growing up, it needs to be exposed to sunlight all day. Watering is usually sufficient to keep the potting soil moist, and water should be sprayed to increase humidity. In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer during planting, liquid fertilizer should also be applied once a month during the growing period.

Watering method

The green bean tree needs a certain amount of water during its growth process, especially in summer. The soil in the pot must be kept moist. In addition to regular watering, the plant should also be sprayed to increase humidity. In high temperature seasons, it can be sprayed 2-3 times a day.

Fertilization method

Green bean trees generally require sufficient base fertilizer when planted. Fertilizers usually include decomposed cake fertilizer and compound fertilizer. Liquid fertilizer should be added once a month during the growing period. You can also use slow-release granular fertilizer, or use urea combined with potassium dihydrogen phosphate for watering.

Pruning methods

The green bean tree needs to be topped during the growing season to control the height of the plant and promote the growth of side branches. At ordinary times, attention should be paid to thinning the branches and increasing internal ventilation and light to avoid causing diseases and pests.

Precautions for growing kidney bean trees

If the green bean tree does not receive enough light, it will easily grow too tall, and its tissue will become loose, the leaf color will become lighter, and in severe cases the leaves will fall off. Therefore, it is best to maintain about 5 hours of light a day. However, it should be noted that it should not be exposed to direct sunlight in the summer and needs appropriate shade.
