Fertilization and watering

There are certain requirements and principles when fertilizing the Chinese photinia: newly planted Chinese photinia, those that have just been potted, those that have just been repotted, those whose roots are damaged, etc., such Chinese photinia should not be fertilized within one month.

In spring and summer, because potted trees grow vigorously, they need a lot of nutrients, so more fertilizer should be applied.

After autumn, the growth of photinia will slow down, so you should reduce the amount of fertilizer and control it.

In winter, potted trees enter a dormant period, and fertilization can be stopped at this time. Note that in summer and rainy seasons, do not apply fertilizer at noon, but in the afternoon or evening.

When watering, sufficient water is needed. It is best to use natural water such as river water, pond water, rain water, etc., which is conducive to its rapid growth.

Pot soil selection

When choosing potting soil, you should choose floral soil with good drainage. During the maintenance period, it is best to lay a thicker potting soil. The potting soil should be replaced every two years to ensure that the soil can provide sufficient nutrients.

Breeding precautions

prune

The pruning of Chinese photinia needs to be carried out in a timely manner, and the best time is in late spring and early autumn. Because it grows rapidly and luxuriantly, appropriate pruning can reduce nutrient consumption and ensure better growth.

Note that when the weather is hot, it will burn the new buds and cause the leaves to curl. After pruning, place them in a cool place and wait for normal germination before exposing them to strong light.

Pest control

Common diseases and pests of Chinese photinia tree stumps include longhorn beetles, red spider mites, and rust. These diseases can cause damage to the leaves or roots, so prevention and control are necessary. You can spray with medicine or use pruning methods to cut off the diseased branches and leaves.
