Seedling selection and preparation for planting steps Maintenance and management of Phoenix wood is known as the "king of trees" because of its beautiful tree shape, gorgeous colors and wide crown. In recent years, Phoenix wood has been widely planted in various parts of our country and has become an important tree species in urban greening. If you want to plant Phoenix wood well, it is crucial to master the correct planting method. This article will introduce you in detail the planting method of Phoenix wood saplings and help you easily control this "king of trees". Selection and preparation 1. Choose healthy saplings: When purchasing Phoenix wood saplings, choose saplings that grow strongly and are free from pests and diseases. Authoritative industry reports show that high-quality saplings have a higher survival rate and a faster growth rate.
2. Prepare planting site: Phoenix wood is highly adaptable, but it is best to choose a place with sufficient sunshine and good drainage to plant it. It is necessary to ensure that the soil of the planting site is fertile and the pH value is between 5.5 and 6.5. Planting step 1. Dig a hole: according to the size of the saplings, dig a hole with a depth and diameter of 3-5 times the diameter of the root neck of the saplings.
2. Seedling release: Put the saplings into the pit so that the root necks are flush with the ground. If necessary, the long root system can be appropriately trimmed.
3. Filling: Fill the soil into the pit and step on it while filling it to ensure that the soil and the root system are closely integrated.
4. Watering: Immediately after planting is completed, water thoroughly to help the roots of the saplings fully contact the soil. Maintenance and management 1. Watering: Phoenix wood likes water, but it should not be excessive. Generally, water it 1-2 times a week to keep the soil moist. During the high temperature season in summer, the number of watering can be appropriately increased.
2. Fertilization: During the growing season, compound fertilizer is applied once a month to promote the growth of saplings. After fertilization, water should be done in time to prevent fertilizer from burning the roots.
3. Pruning: Regularly prune sick and weak branches and cross branches to keep the tree shape beautiful, which is conducive to ventilation and light transmission.
4. Pest and insect pest control: Pay attention to observe whether there are pests and insect pests on the saplings. Once discovered, timely measures should be taken to prevent and control them.
Planting phoenix wood saplings is not complicated. As long as you master the correct planting methods and maintenance skills, you can easily control this "king of trees". I hope this article can provide you with useful reference and wish you success in planting!
