What are the cultivation methods and precautions of large-leaf umbrella

Cultivation method of large leaf umbrella

The large-leaved umbrella is a plant of the Araliaceae family. It is propagated by sowing and cuttings. It likes warm, humid, ventilated and bright light. The suitable growth temperature is 20℃~30℃. It is suitable for growing in well-drained sandy loam rich in organic matter.

When cultivating the umbrella-leafed shrub, you can use loose, fertile sandy soil for cultivation. You should give it appropriate sunlight at ordinary times and proper shade in the summer. In addition, you need to change the pot after one or two years of cultivation.

Watering method

When watering the umbrella plant during the growth period, the soil in the pot should not be too dry or too wet. If you water it too much, the leaf tips of the plant will turn black. During the winter, you need to water it sparingly and keep the soil in the pot slightly moist.

Fertilization method

Organic fertilizers or nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, bean cake and oil meal can be used to fertilize the large-leaved umbrella. Under normal circumstances, top dressing once every 1-2 months is sufficient.

Pruning methods

During the growth period of the umbrella tree, the tops of the main branches and side branches need to be pinched off to inhibit the growth of the top. If the plant is too tall, the excessively long branches need to be shortened to maintain the overall height at 1-1.5 meters.

Precautions for cultivation of large-leaf umbrella

When growing the umbrella plant, you need to pay attention to the air not being too dry, otherwise the leaves will easily turn green and yellow. In daily maintenance, you should not water it too little or too much, which will cause the potting soil to be too dry or too wet, both of which will cause the plant to shed leaves and affect its growth and appearance.

During the maintenance process of the umbrella plant, you need to pay attention. If the light received by the plant is too strong or too weak, it will lose its bright patterns. If it is too shaded, it will cause serious leaf fall, so you need to pay attention to giving the plant appropriate light.
