Holly cultivation methods and precautions

Holly cultivation methods and precautions

Farming methods

soil

Holly prefers fertile soil and grows well in moist, well-drained acidic soil. It is not very demanding on soil, so it can grow well in ordinary soil.

Light and temperature

Holly likes warm climate and has strong cold resistance. The suitable temperature for holly growth is between -10℃ and 30℃. It can withstand low temperatures in winter, but it should avoid high temperatures in summer. Shade measures should be taken, or ventilation should be increased, and water should be sprayed on the leaves of the plants to lower the temperature. In terms of light, holly is shade-tolerant. When the light is particularly strong in summer, it needs to be shaded to avoid strong light.

Watering and fertilizing

The growth of holly requires sufficient water supply to keep the potting soil moist, especially during the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn, and it must be watered appropriately. When the temperature is high in summer, the evaporation is large and the potting soil will be relatively dry. Watering should be frequent and the holly plants should be sprayed with water to maintain the air humidity. Generally, fertilization does not need to be applied too frequently. During the vigorous growing seasons in spring and autumn, appropriate topdressing once or twice will be sufficient. Fertilization should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer in the form of thin liquid fertilizer.

Breeding precautions

Reproduction method

The main methods of propagation of holly are sowing and cuttings. Seed propagation is carried out in March in spring, and germination is required before sowing. Cutting propagation is to cut young branches for cuttings during the rainy season. Rooting powder can be used to promote rooting before cutting.

Plastic pruning

Holly is a plant that is relatively resistant to shearing, and can be shaped and pruned frequently for ornamental purposes. It can be pruned in summer, and in autumn, holly can be pruned into various shapes as needed, and dense branches can be properly pruned to allow it to grow healthily.
