Tiger thorn soil requirementsSandy loam is the best soil for growing tiger thorns. It can be made by mixing leaf mold or peat soil with half sand and a small amount of fertilizer. Water requirements for tiger thornTiger thorn likes moisture, but not too much moisture. In the hot summer weather, you need to water it more often. You need to spray the plant with water to ensure the humidity of the growing environment. In winter, you need to water it less frequently. Avoid rain and do not over-water, otherwise the roots of the plant will easily rot. Temperature requirements of tiger thornThe most suitable temperature for tiger thorn is 22℃ during the day and between 15-20℃ at night. If the temperature can be maintained within this range throughout the year, tiger thorn will bloom all year round. When the temperature drops to 10℃, the thorn tree begins to shed its leaves and enter a semi-dormant state. In winter, the growth temperature of tiger thorn must be maintained and the tiger thorn should be placed indoors. Tiger thorn light requirementsTiger thorn likes scattered light, but be careful not to expose it to the sun, as it can easily get burned. When the sun is shining brightly at noon in summer, pay attention to shade. The indoor light is not good in winter, so you can put it in a place with scattered light on sunny days. Fertilizer requirements for tiger thornTiger thorn grows slowly and does not require much fertilizer. Apply less fertilizer during the Spring Festival and winter. Apply diluted fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season. Pest and disease control of tiger thornTiger thorn is prone to stem blight and rot, and can be controlled by using carbendazim once every half a month. Tiger thorn hare is easily affected by whiteflies and scale insects, which can be killed by spraying with pine borer emulsion. Tiger thorn precautionsPruning of tiger thornTiger thorn should not be pruned during its flowering period. If the main branches are too long, it will lead to reduced flowering, so the excessively long branches should be removed after the flowering period. Cut off the uneven branches to ensure the number and growth of flowers when they bloom next time. Fertilization of Tiger ThornWhen applying fertilizer, be careful not to apply too much or too little. Excessive fertilization will cause the branches to grow too fast, and only leaves will grow without flowers. Apply a small amount of fertilizer during the bud formation period to promote lush leaves and flowers. Tiger thorn supportThe branches of tiger thorn are slender and relatively soft. As the plant grows, the main plant is prone to bend when it cannot bear the weight of the entire plant. In this case, you need to use bamboo sticks or iron wire to form supports of different shapes and fix the branches on them. Forming the style ensures the growth of tiger thorn. |
