This article introduces how to cultivate yellow rosewood and shares some small experiences in planting methods and precautions. Corrections are welcome if there are any mistakes!
Yellow rosewood is an evergreen vine of the Rosaceae family, which is extremely bright and beautiful when flowering, offering great ornamental value and can be planted at home for display. The best time for planting yellow rosewood is at the end of spring to the beginning of summer or at the end of summer to the beginning of autumn, when the temperature is between 20 to 30°C. Use a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, river sand, and a small amount of basic fertilizer to prepare the growing medium. After purchasing the seedlings, remove the nutrient pots, trim the leaves and roots, and then plant them in a planting pit or pot. After planting, place them in a well-ventilated area with scattered light and keep the soil moist.
I. Planting Methods
1. Planting Time
Yellow rosewood prefers warm and sunny conditions. It can be planted at the end of spring to the beginning of summer or at the end of summer to the beginning of autumn when the temperature is between 20 to 30°C. If planting outdoors, choose a spot with good sunlight.
2. Soil Preparation
Yellow rosewood grows best in well-drained, loose, and fertile soil rich in humus. Use a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, river sand, and a small amount of basic fertilizer to prepare the growing medium.
3. Handling Seedlings
Purchased seedlings usually come with nutrient pots, which need to be removed. After removing the pots, keep the soil attached to the roots, remove the topsoil, and then trim the seedlings by removing yellow leaves, dead branches, unnecessary long branches, and sickly branches. Trim the decayed, wilted, and dense roots, then apply carbendazim to the wounds for disinfection and let them dry in a well-ventilated area until the wounds contract.
4. Planting
If planting outdoors, dig a planting pit with a shovel, place the seedlings in the pit, fill the soil layer by layer and compact it to make the roots adhere closely to the soil, then water once after filling the soil. If planting in a pot, choose a pot with good drainage and aeration, cover the bottom with broken tiles or bricks for drainage, then add one-third of the growing medium, place the seedling in the center, fill the remaining soil to 3 to 5 centimeters from the edge, flatten the soil surface, and water.
II. Precautions
After planting, the yellow rosewood plant is relatively fragile and needs to be placed in a well-ventilated area with scattered light for care. Water when the topsoil is slightly dry, stopping when water starts to seep out of the soil. Keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can cause root rot.
