In case of continuous rainy days, the water must be drained in time to avoid waterlogging. 4. Temperature: It likes to grow in an environment with a temperature of 20 to 30 degrees.

Can kapok be grown in the north?Kapok cannot be grown in the north, especially if grown in the ground. There are two reasons. One is that the temperature is too low. It is not cold-resistant and the minimum temperature must be above 5 degrees. In the north, the winter temperature is often below zero, and the plants will be frozen to death. Second, the soil pH is not suitable. It likes acidic soil. The soil in the north is too alkaline, which will hinder its growth. |
