How to plant Podocarpus (cultivation methods and precautions)

1. Planting method

1. Seed collection: Around August to October, take out the seeds of Podocarpus and store them in a dry place. The best way is to seal it tightly and store it in the refrigerator.

2. Germination: Soak the seeds in warm water for 4 days before planting to allow them to fully absorb water. After germination, the germination rate of seeds is relatively high.

3. Planting: Plant the germinated seeds in the soil, cover them with soil, and finally cover them with a layer of straw to achieve a moisturizing effect. Spray it with water once a day, remove the straw after about a week, provide appropriate shade, and it will sprout in 40 days.

2. Breeding methods

1. Fertilization: During its growth period, apply organic liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days, and water appropriately on the second day of fertilization. Nitrogen fertilizer can be applied 2-3 times in spring and autumn, but do not apply concentrated fertilizer.

2. Water: It has a certain drought resistance. Keep it moist when dry. Don’t water it too much. In weather where water evaporates quickly, you can water more.

3. Notes

During the growing season, you need to pinch the top of the plant to avoid it growing too tall. When repotting it, the rotten roots should be properly trimmed. Usually, the pot should be changed every two years or so, otherwise it will hinder the growth of its root system.
