Planting methods and precautions for old stumps of Qingxiang tree

Planting method of old stump of green fragrant tree

It is generally recommended to plant old stumps of fragrant trees before March, because the weather is cooler, the activity of bacteria at the roots is lower, and the roots are easier to survive, which increases the chances of successful planting.

The old stumps of the Qingxiang tree can be propagated by sowing or cuttings. After the seeds of the Qingxiang tree mature, they will fall off when encountered wind or rain, and are not easy to collect. They need to be harvested in time. After taking out the seeds, place them in a well-ventilated place to dry in the shade and store them in a ventilated and dry place.

Planting steps of old stump of green fragrant tree

1. The fragrant tree is difficult to plant because of its underdeveloped root system. If possible, it is best to buy the stump with some soil. If it does not come with soil, it is generally necessary to soak it in rooting powder for more than 3 hours before potting.

2. After soaking, disinfect the plants before potting. You can soak them in potassium permanganate for about 10 minutes. If the soil used is old soil, the used disinfectant solution can be used for watering during planting.

3. The soil can be prepared by mixing mountain soil, weathered stone particles and coal ash. Keep the soil in the pot loose and not compacted. Do not mix it with base fertilizer. Plain soil is conducive to rooting. Put some broken foam, broken tiles and the like at the bottom of the pot to retain soil and drain water, and put a layer of coarse material on top to drain water and allow air to flow.

4. Water the soil when it is about one-third full, water it again when it is about half full, and water it again when it is fully filled. When watering, insert a bamboo stick or a thin stick into the soil to check the looseness to ensure that the roots are in close contact with the soil without leaving any gaps.

Maintenance of old Qingxiang tree stumps

1. Transplantation issue : After transplanting, the fragrant tree will have yellow leaves or fallen leaves. This is a normal phenomenon, so don’t worry too much.

2. Watering and soil : The fragrant tree cannot tolerate waterlogging. It is best to water it once every 3-5 days. Each time you water it, you must water it thoroughly, that is, the bottom must be wet, but not too much to avoid root rot. The soil must be well permeable.

3. Sunlight : The green fragrant tree likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. It can be exposed to the sun every day, but not for a long time. It is suitable for maintenance on the balcony or in sunny places indoors. The green fragrant tree is also slightly shade-tolerant, so it doesn’t matter if it is not exposed to the sun for a few days.

4. Wind : The fragrant tree cannot withstand strong winds, and its leaves will fall off easily because the connection points of the leaves are very fragile. Therefore, do not place it in a windy place for maintenance.

5. Temperature : The fragrant tree likes a warm environment and is not cold-resistant. It needs to be moved indoors for maintenance during the low temperatures in winter. An indoor temperature of more than ten degrees in winter is still good.
