Ginkgo cultivation methods and precautions, how many ginkgo trees should be planted in a flowerpot

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: Ginkgo has deep roots, so it can only grow in places with deep soil. This plant is not tolerant to salt and alkali, nor does it like overly wet soil, so acidic soil with good drainage is often used. When planting in the ground, avoid planting in low-lying areas, otherwise water will easily accumulate and submerge the roots when it rains. You can add sand to the soil of potted plants to enhance the drainage ability of the soil.

2. Light: Ginkgo is relatively light-loving. Adequate light is very helpful for the growth of the plant, and it also allows it to photosynthesize better, so that it can accumulate more nutrients. Ground plants are generally planted in a sunny place, while potted plants should be placed on the balcony so that they can receive sunlight throughout the day. If there is insufficient light, the plant will have yellow leaves or fall leaves.

3. Watering: Ginkgo is suitable for growing in a humid environment, but is afraid of waterlogging, so the amount of water must be controlled when watering, and not too much. Generally, you should water less frequently in spring. In summer, since it is relatively humid, you can reduce watering. In case of dry weather, you should replenish water in time. As the temperature drops in autumn and winter, the plants need less water, so the amount of watering should be reduced.

4. Fertilization: Ginkgo not only likes fertilizer, but also is resistant to fertilizer, so it is necessary to fertilize frequently to ensure its growth. Usually in spring, March and April are the time when it grows leaves. At this time, organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer should be added. Summer is the fruit-growing period. Generally, a certain amount of urea is applied in July. If it is too dry after fertilization, watering is required. Autumn is the leaf-falling period, and fertilizer is generally applied in September and October to make up for the nutrients consumed previously.

2. Plant a few suitable trees

Ginkgo is usually planted in pots as bonsai. In this case, it is not suitable to plant multiple trees. One tree is enough. If too many are planted, it will not only be detrimental to growth, but also look unsightly.
