This article will introduce you to the breeding methods of Nandina in detail, helping you to easily cultivate lush Nandina.

Choosing the appropriate breeding environment

Nandina prefers a warm, humid, and semi-shaded environment. When breeding Nandina, it is recommended to choose a well-ventilated, sunny area but avoid direct sunlight. Indoors, you can place Nandina near the window, but avoid direct sunlight.

Soil selection and potting skills

Nandina is suitable for growing in well-drained, breathable soil. You can choose special Nandina soil sold on the market or make your own soil. Homemade soil can be mixed with decayed leaf soil, garden soil, and coarse sand in a ratio of 2:2:1. When potting, choose a suitable pot, generally a breathable earthenware or ceramic pot.

Watering and fertilizing

Nandina is not tolerant to waterlogging, and watering should follow the principle of "watering when dry and moist when seen." Spring and autumn are the peak growing seasons for Nandina, when you can appropriately increase the watering frequency. In the hot and humid summer, you should reduce the watering frequency to prevent root rot. In the low-temperature and dry winter, keep the soil slightly moist. For fertilizing, Nandina prefers fertilizer, and applying a compound fertilizer once a month is sufficient.

Pruning and shaping

During the growth of Nandina, it is necessary to prune the withered and yellow leaves and the weak branches in time to maintain a beautiful shape. When pruning, you can appropriately shape it into a ball, pyramid, etc., to enhance its ornamental value.

Pest and disease control

During the breeding process of Nandina, you may encounter pest and disease problems. Common pests include aphids and red spiders. The prevention and control methods are as follows:

1. Aphids: Wipe the leaves with soapy water or alcohol, or spray with insecticides.

2. Red spiders: Spray the leaves with diluted laundry detergent water or use insecticides.

Precautions

1. Nandina is not cold-tolerant. When the temperature is below 5°C in winter, it should be moved indoors for breeding.

2. Nandina is sensitive to light. In summer, avoid direct sunlight, and in winter, you can appropriately increase the duration of sunlight.

3. During the breeding process, pay attention to maintaining air circulation to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases.
