How to grow Osaka pine

1. Breeding environment

1. Water: Usually you should control the frequency and amount of watering to ensure that there is enough water for it to grow. However, do not water too much. Once water accumulates, it will cause root rot and cause it to grow poorly. Generally, watering should be done after the soil in the pot becomes dry.

2. Light: Give the Osaka pine sufficient light. It likes sunlight, and proper sunlight exposure can help it grow stronger. However, if the light is too strong, it may burn it, so appropriate shading measures should be taken.

3. Fertilization: It does not have very high requirements for fertilizer. Do not apply too much fertilizer, and do not apply fertilizer too frequently. Generally, 1-2 times a year is enough. If the amount of fertilizer is too large, it will cause excessive growth. The fertilizer concentration should not be too high.

2. Breeding Methods

Grafting propagation: Choose healthy branches as scion and prune them appropriately. The cut of the scion should be the same length as that of the rootstock, about 1 cm. Cut an incision in the branch of the black pine, insert it into the incision, and then tie it with a plastic bag.

3. Common pests and diseases

To prevent common diseases and pests in advance, you can brush some insect repellent on its trunk. If diseases and pests have already appeared, they should be captured manually in time or sprayed with pesticides.
