It has weak cold resistance and can withstand the lowest temperature of -7°C, otherwise it may freeze to death. Nageia nagi is strict about soil requirements and is more suitable for sandy loam to light clay with deep, loose, moist, thick humus layer, and acidic soil. It prefers mountain yellow soil and brown forest soil, especially grows rapidly in sandy loam soil. It grows extremely slowly in poor soil and is not suitable for cultivation in limestone areas or low-lying, water-logged areas.
Planting Nageia nagi in a pot: When repotting a newly purchased Nageia nagi or moving a large plant that has been growing for several years, first place a 2-3 cm thick layer of coarse-grained matrix at the bottom of the pot as a filter layer. Then sprinkle a layer of fully decomposed organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer, about 1-2 cm thick, followed by a thin layer of matrix, about 1-2 cm thick, and then place the plant in, separating the fertilizer from the roots to avoid root burning.
Pruning Nageia nagi: In winter, when the plant enters a dormant or semi-dormant state, trim the weak, diseased, dead, and dense branches. Branches can also be tidied up in conjunction with cutting.
Repotting Nageia nagi: As long as it is properly cared for, it will grow quickly. When it reaches a certain size, consider repotting it into a larger pot to allow it to continue growing vigorously. The growing medium and component ratio for repotting can be one of the following: garden soil: slag = 3:1; or garden soil: medium coarse river sand: sawdust (sawdust) = 4:1:2; or one of the following: paddy soil, pond mud, decomposed leaf soil.
Unpotting Nageia nagi: Place the plant to be repotted on the ground, first tap the sides of the pot gently with the palm to make the roots vibrate and separate from the pot wall. Turn the pot over and place it on the left hand, with the index and middle fingers of the left hand gently holding the plant, the wrist and fingertips supporting the pot edge, tap the bottom of the pot with the right hand, and then use the thumb to push the root soil downward from the bottom hole to make the plant come out.
