How to cultivate Torreya grandis

1. Soil

To grow Torreya grandis, you need to use fertile, loose acidic soil. If you want it to grow better, avoid using alkaline soil.

2. Lighting

The Torreya grandis likes sunlight, but it is also shade-tolerant. It needs to be exposed to appropriate amounts of light to be more conducive to its growth. If it grows in a dark and lightless environment for a long time, it will grow poorly, and in severe cases its branches and leaves may turn yellow or stop growing.

3. Loosening the soil

Proper amount of loosening the soil can help the Torreya grandis grow more healthily. Generally, when applying fertilizer in winter, you can loosen the soil appropriately, which can effectively increase the soil's air permeability and increase profits to a certain extent.

4. Fertilization

There is no need to apply too much fertilizer when growing Torreya grandis. About 2-3 times a year is enough. Organic fertilizer should be the main fertilizer. Be sure to use less chemical fertilizer, and fertilize it deeply. Generally, fertilizer is applied once in winter from December to January. In mid-May each year, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer can be mixed and applied. In addition, some quick-acting fertilizer can be applied in September to help it recover faster.
