Choosing the right Ginkgo biloba varietyThere are many varieties of Ginkgo biloba, and different varieties have different blooming times, flower shapes, and flower sizes. When choosing Ginkgo biloba盆栽, priority should be given to local climatic conditions and your maintenance ability. Early-blooming varieties like 'Early Bloom Ginkgo' are suitable for warm regions, while 'Late Bloom Ginkgo' is more suitable for cold regions.
Suitable planting environmentGinkgo biloba盆栽 require abundant sunlight and a well-ventilated environment. When caring for them indoors, the盆栽 should be placed in a place with sufficient sunlight, such as a windowsill or balcony. When caring for them outdoors, choose a position that is sheltered from the wind and sun, avoiding direct impact from strong wind and rain.
Soil and wateringGinkgo biloba prefer fertile, well-draining soil. When planting Ginkgo biloba盆栽, you can choose a mixture of leaf mold, garden soil, and sand. For watering, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, avoiding积水 that can lead to root rot.
Pruning and shapingProper pruning can promote the growth and blooming of Ginkgo biloba盆栽. Pruning should be done before the new buds sprout in spring, removing diseased and weak branches and dense branches to help with ventilation and light, promoting the formation of flower buds. Shaping can enhance the ornamental value of Ginkgo biloba盆栽.
Fertilizing and temperature controlGinkgo biloba盆栽 require moderate fertilizer during the growing season, using compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer every month. In autumn, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to help promote the differentiation of flower buds.
Temperature is a key factor affecting the blooming of Ginkgo biloba. In northern regions, as the temperature rises in spring, Ginkgo biloba begin to enter the growing season. At this time, gradually increase the duration of sunlight to promote the formation of flower buds. In southern regions, where spring temperatures are higher, appropriate shading is required to avoid high temperatures causing flower bud withering.
Pest and disease controlGinkgo biloba盆栽 may be affected by pests and diseases, such as leaf blight and powdery mildew. It is important to detect and take measures to prevent and treat them in a timely manner, such as spraying pesticides and pruning diseased branches.
