How to care for Australian fir in four seasons

About Four Seasons Maintenance and Management

1. Spring:

2. It is not suitable to repot the Australian fir when the temperature is still cold. You can consider repotting when the room temperature is stable at above 10 degrees Celsius. Generally speaking, repotting is done about every two to three years, and attention should be paid to drainage during the repotting process.

2. Summer:

3. This is a plant that is not afraid of temperature, but it cannot be exposed to the sun. Once exposed, its leaves will turn old green and the color sensitivity will decrease. Around August, you can fertilize the Australian cedar, among which nitrogen-potassium compound fertilizer is the most suitable. If the Australian cedar lacks fertilizer, its branches and leaves will turn yellow. It should be watered in small amounts and multiple times. When the temperature is too high or the climate is too dry, water needs to be replenished in time. You can also spray water on the ground near the planting area.

3. Autumn:

4. If the Australian fir is placed in a dark room for a long time, it needs to be moved to the sunlight every once in a while. When late autumn comes and the temperature gradually drops, you can gradually move the Australian fir outdoors to let it experience the low temperature appropriately. This will help improve its cold resistance. But be careful not to let it frost.

4. Winter:

5. When the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, the Australian fir can no longer adapt. At this time, it needs to be placed in a room with sufficient light and the soil should not be too wet. During this period, the Australian fir should not be fertilized. If the Australian pine is in an air-conditioned room or a heated room, you can spray its leaves with water mist appropriately.

Tips

When talking about maintenance in four seasons, we have to mention the unique appearance characteristics of Australian fir. As an evergreen tree, its height is less than 2 meters in most cases and it is cultivated as a potted plant when it is a young tree. The crown of the tree is spire-shaped, mostly dark green in color, and the bark of the crown has cracks. The cones of Australian fir are generally round. Such morphological characteristics determine the characteristics of Australian fir, which is that it likes a warm environment. Therefore, Australian fir is suitable for many types of soil, especially sandy soil mixed with organic fertilizer. Due to the specific growing environment, the possibility of it being infected with diseases and pests is very small. When planted indoors, Australian pine may be attacked by scale insects. At this time, you can use cypermethrin and other insecticides.
