How to raise Chinese photinia at home

Growth conditions of Photinia

The origin of the Chinese photinia is in tropical regions, so it prefers a warm growing environment. However, it is not cold-resistant and needs to be kept warm in winter. If the temperature is below 10 degrees, it will stop growing. In summer, when encountering high temperatures, shade measures need to be taken.

How to grow Photinia

The Chinese photinia prefers mild sunlight. If it is exposed to strong light for a long time, its leaves will be sunburned. When planting, loose and fertile soil is generally used. However, its growth rate is relatively fast, so it requires more soil, and it must be watered vigorously.

Watering the Photinia

When watering the Chinese photinia, rainwater or river water is generally used, and water should be applied in large quantities to ensure that it has sufficient nutrients.

Fertilization of Photinia

In the spring, which is the growing season, the photinia needs more nutrients, but its soil can generally meet its nutrient needs, so it needs to be fertilized in moderation.

Pest and disease control of Chinese photinia

If the photinia is not managed properly during the maintenance period, diseases and pests will occur, and it needs to be treated with drugs in time so as not to affect its growth.

When caring for the Chinese photinia indoors, it is generally planted in floral mud with good drainage, and the pot should be changed every two years, and some base fertilizer should be applied. Fertilizer needs to be applied once during the growing season, and river water or rainwater should be used for watering.

Precautions for the maintenance of photinia

If you need to pay attention to the maintenance of the photinia in winter, the leaves will generally not fall off and will remain evergreen all year round. In addition, you need to fertilize it once every half a month during the growing season, and generally use a dilute liquid fertilizer.
