The golden combination of Laibin's climate and plant growth

The humid monsoon creates ecological advantages

An average annual temperature of 20.3℃ combined with 1360mm of rainfall results in a frost-free period of 331 days, with the characteristic of concentrated rainfall from April to August requiring growers to master key drainage techniques. This climate allows 90% of common ornamental plants to grow healthily here, but attention should be paid to root protection during the rainy season.

Key points for caring for ground-planted flowers

Osmanthus and bougainvillea perform well in courtyard plantings, with their roots effectively adapting to the characteristics of red soil. A circular drainage ditch needs to be dug around the plants during the rainy season, and 30% river sand should be mixed into the soil during planting to improve aeration. Roses and hydrangeas need to be pruned before March to ensure a good bloom.

Secrets to managing balcony potted plants

Acid-loving plants such as jasmine and azaleas are recommended to be cultivated in pine needle soil, combined with monthly irrigation using ferrous sulfate. Succulent plants need to have a sunshade net to protect against strong summer sunlight, while orchids should be placed on north-facing balconies. The potting medium is suggested to use a golden ratio of coconut bran + perlite + decomposed leaf soil.

Ecological revelations from the absence of a city tree

The current situation of the city tree not being determined reflects a cautious attitude towards urban ecological construction. Candidate tree species need to have pollution resistance, landscape value, and cultural symbolism. Native species such as autumn maple and small-leaf banyan are undergoing comprehensive evaluation, and the future choice will reflect new ideas for urban ecological development.
