Green olive cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: To make it grow well, you need to create a warm and ventilated growing environment for it. The breeding temperature must be kept above 20 degrees, because the higher the temperature, the easier it is to bloom. Because it is not cold-resistant, anti-freeze measures must be taken in winter. If the temperature is below ten degrees, its leaves will fall off.

2. Watering: After planting, the plant needs to be watered thoroughly once, and then watered once every four days. The temperature in summer is relatively high and water evaporates relatively quickly. It needs to be watered once a day, and the soil must be watered thoroughly.

3. Fertilization: When it is a seedling, it should be fertilized once a month, and the fertilizer should be mainly N-containing fertilizer, which can promote the growth of branches and leaves. Before pruning the branches and leaves, it is necessary to apply liquid fertilizer to it, which can increase its immunity and promote the drying of the incision. Before flowering, it is necessary to use compound fertilizer once, the purpose is to supplement nutrients in an all-round way and promote flowering and fruiting.

4. Light: It is a sun-loving plant. It does not require human intervention when grown in the open air. Just let it receive sunlight all day.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by seeds. Soak the seeds in warm water for half a day before turning over, then sprinkle the seeds into the soil and cover it with plastic film. This is done to promote plant germination. After the plant sprouts, remove the plastic film. When the plant grows three true leaves, it can be transplanted and planted.

2. Pruning: It grows very fast, and its branches will grow very lush, especially during the growing season, which will affect its fruiting rate, so it needs to be pruned once during this period. Generally, the branches and leaves at the top are pruned, which can promote its lateral growth, and then its main branches and branches are pruned to make the primary and secondary branches of the crown clear. Finally, it is important to trim the overly lush branches and leaves to increase the light transmittance.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: It has good resistance to insects and is generally not infected by pests. In order to increase its resistance, you can spray it with sterilization spirit once a month.

2. Disease: Yellowing of the plant's branches and leaves may be caused by excessive watering, and water needs to be controlled. The plant has a strong self-healing ability, and proper water control can solve this problem.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Non-toxic, safe to use.

2. Other uses: The fruits can be used to extract oil and the trunks can be made into furniture.
