Cultivation method of red birch

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Red Birch likes warmth. It can grow normally between fifteen and twenty-eight degrees. Overall, it still has a certain degree of cold resistance and can withstand temperatures as low as several degrees below zero. But below minus four degrees, its branches and leaves may be frostbitten, so please be aware of this.

2. Light: Red-flowered silver birch is light-loving. Especially during the growth period and when it is about to bloom, it needs to be placed in good sunlight conditions. In this way, it will grow well. Generally speaking, providing full sun is sufficient as long as it is not too strong.

3. Watering: Red-flowered silver birch likes moisture. However, because its root system is relatively developed, it also has a certain degree of drought resistance, but be careful not to not water it for a long time, as long-term drought will not work. In addition, too much waterlogging is not good, and drainage is needed during the rainy season.

4. Fertilization: Red-flowered silver birch does not require too much fertilizer. Choose soil with sufficient nutrients and then apply top dressing once every two months or so. Fertilizer during the flowering period is relatively more important.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be done by sowing. It can be sown in large areas in the garden. If you want to grow it at home, you can just sow the seeds directly into the soil. You should also pay attention to the choice of flower pots. It is best to use a ceramic pot or a porcelain pot, which will not only be beneficial to its future growth, but also more beautiful. If you want to transplant it, be careful not to damage its roots.

2. Pruning: This is a relatively important step in its maintenance. First of all, in order to allow its branches to sprout, an important step is to pinch the tips. Then comes the pruning of branches and leaves. Normally, there may be some leaves or branches that turn yellow due to various reasons. Just cut them off directly.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: A common disease is called "rust", which is relatively common in humid and hot environments and can be treated with medicines such as fenacet. There will also be "heart rot" and other diseases, which also require timely spraying of pesticides.

2. Pests: The main ones are called "willow leaf beetle" and "gypsy moth", but overall they are not too serious and the harm will not be great if they are prevented and controlled in time.
