How to grow Taxus and the key points of Taxus cultivation technology.

How to cultivate Taxus (Chinese yew)If you want to know how to cultivate Taxus and the key points of its cultivation techniques, here is a detailed introduction.Taxus as a potted landscape is different from other plants with impressive leaves; among its dense foliage, a few small red fruits add a touch of festivity. However, as a potted plant, it is necessary for it to have an attractive shape. Taxus also likes yellow leaves. If you are a gardener cultivating Taxus, how can you make the leaves more shaped? Pay attention to some key points, and the leaves of Taxus will be upright and shaped.1. LightAlthough Taxus prefers to grow in a warm environment, it is also cold-resistant. Many people think that Taxus is a plant that enjoys high sunlight, and they expose it to the sun for a long time since it was first planted. In fact, Taxus seedlings need to be cared for in a relatively shady place, and sunlight exposure is very harmful to Taxus during its growth period. Only after Taxus grows taller and its branches show some maturity should it be placed in a location where it can receive sunlight during the day. Strong summer sunlight can also scorch Taxus leaves to the point of drying.2. WateringThe daily watering of Taxus is to water when the soil is half-dry, usually once every three days. In the hot summer, the watering frequency should be increased, with twice a day in the hot southern regions and once every two days in the north, depending on how quickly the soil dries. When the temperature exceeds 33 degrees Celsius in summer, Taxus will enter a dormant period, and watering with a spray can be used to cool Taxus down.3. FertilizationTaxus has the characteristic of not easily attracting pests and has good disease resistance. However, to be cautious, fertilizing can also prevent pest infestations. Try spraying a little Bordeaux mixture, which has received good reviews. Fertilizing Taxus is relatively frequent, requiring the application of a mixture of iron sulfate water once a month, with a ratio of 1:10:15. In autumn, some manure fertilizer can be applied, and in spring, a compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium should be added.How to cultivate Taxus4. PottingTaxus is not a small potted landscape and needs to be repotted at regular intervals, preferably every year. As Taxus grows from small to large, it also needs to be repotted into a pot of an appropriate size to allow its roots to continue growing. Remember to choose slightly acidic soil for repotting. During the repotting process, you can use methods such as breaking or cutting the old pot and even pushing the entire pot of soil out from the drainage hole.Experienced gardeners usually repot in spring and autumn. After removing the soil, remember to cut off some of the excessively dense old roots and any roots that are discolored, which indicates rot. Cutting off the old roots allows Taxus to grow new roots and become more vigorous. After repotting, don't forget the final step of watering the soil to speed up its integration with the new soil. Then place Taxus near a well-ventilated window.The above is the specific content of how to cultivate Taxus and the key points of its cultivation techniques.
