How to grow kapok

1. Soil quality

The choice of soil for kapok is very important. Fortunately, it has strong adaptability to various soils, so we don’t need to put too much effort in selecting the soil. Sandy soil is completely fine, and if you don't have any, clay can be used instead.

2. Sunlight

Light is also very important for it, and its tolerance is very strong. It can grow very well whether it is in a sunny place or a semi-shaded place.

3. Temperature

Temperature determines whether it can grow healthily. Since it is native to the warm south, its cold resistance is very weak. The main thing is that in winter, it is necessary to transfer it to a warm place indoors in time for cultivation, and the temperature should be kept above 5℃.

4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

During the growth process of kapok flowers, there are relatively few diseases, and not much attention needs to be paid. What we are mainly talking about here is how to prevent and control its pests. The main pest that harms it is the geometrid moth. Once this kind of pest appears, it will seriously affect the growth of the plant. Most of them are killed manually. At the same time, 1000 times diluted 80{bf} chlordimeform can be used for prevention and control.
