Cultivation methods and precautions of Sophora japonica

1. Soil

When breeding, the soil should be fertile, breathable and relatively deep, which is conducive to root growth. If it is a potted plant, you can use a mixture of peat soil and sand as the substrate. In addition, please pay attention to disinfection before burying the soil to avoid insect eggs.

2. Lighting

It is a very light-loving plant that will grow more luxuriantly with sufficient light, but it is also slightly shade-tolerant. During the growing season, you can place it in a place with scattered light and avoid strong light in time, otherwise it will be burned. The light is weak in winter, so you can let the plant receive full light.

3. Watering

It needs frequent watering during maintenance and management. It requires a large amount of water for growth. If the upper layer of the soil is dry during the growing season, it is necessary to replenish water in time and make sure it is watered thoroughly. It should also be kept moist at other times, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.

4. Fertilization

It grows faster between June and July every year, so fertilizer should be applied at this time, and nitrogen fertilizer is fine. When applying fertilizer, be careful to keep it as far away from the root system as possible to avoid burning the roots.

5. Notes

In addition to maintenance methods, attention should also be paid to timely pruning. Pruning is mainly done in summer and winter. In summer, cutting off the branches that are growing too long and too dense can help grow more side branches. In winter, the diseased and weak branches should be pruned off and the plant should be shaped again so that the shape of the plant will be more beautiful later.
