The linden tree is a common ornamental plant and a symbol of Buddhism, considered a tree of wisdom and compassion. Its brightly colored flowers, lustrous green leaves, thick and powerful trunk, and dense canopy for shade make it a great plant for potted or ground planting. So, how do you breed linden trees?This article will introduce the cultivation methods and precautions of linden from the following aspects:
Bodhi trees like to grow in fertile, slightly acidic soil, the requirements for the substrate are relatively high, it is best to choose soft, good air permeability soil for planting, with humus soil, vegetable garden soil and river sand for preparation. In the later stage, as it continues to grow, it should be replaced with new potting soil every year, and the size of the container should be gradually changed to a larger one according to the growth of the plant.
The linden tree likes to grow in a well-lit environment, and also has a certain resistance to negativity, but it should not be placed in too shady position for a long time, otherwise it will cause it to appear yellow leaves, etc., which is very unfavorable to the overall growth of the plant. Whether it is a potted plant or a ground plant, try to choose a sunny position for maintenance, which is more beneficial to the overall growth of the plant. If you are planting a potted plant, you need to rotate the pot 180° every once in a while to make it receive more even light.
The demand for water during the growth period of the linden tree is still relatively high, so it is recommended to keep the substrate in a slightly moist state, and if the weather temperature is relatively high, it is necessary to keep the water sufficient. In the summer, try to water it in the morning and evening, if you water it in the middle of the day, it will damage its root system and be detrimental to its growth. There should be no excess water in the soil, let alone too dry. In addition, to maintain the humidity of the air, you can also spray water on the foliage frequently or use a humidifier to increase the humidity.
The growth temperature of the linden tree is 15 25 , but it can grow normally at room temperature above 5. When the room temperature is low, it can maintain the flowering period for a longer time, but the flowering is slow. When the room temperature is high, the flowering period is short, so the right temperature is the best state for flowering. Its original growth environment is tropical, the perennial temperature is relatively high and humid, so its cold tolerance is relatively poor, it is recommended to move it to the indoor maintenance before the winter cooling, and keep the indoor temperature above 5 can survive the winter.
In the process of growth, the Bodhi tree is prone to long branches or diseased branches, which affects the beauty of the plant type, so during the breeding period, the Bodhi tree should be pruned, and the long, dense, dry and thin branches are all cut off to improve the ornamental nature of the plant, and the wound should be disinfected after pruning to avoid black rot.
Bodhi trees can be applied every half a month in the growth period of thin rotten cake fertilizer water, fertilization should adhere to less fertilization, frequent fertilization. Fertilization should be stopped in midsummer and when the temperature is lower than 12, otherwise it is not conducive to plant absorption and is easy to burn plant roots.
The flowering period of the linden tree is generally in spring, at this time, it is necessary to pay attention to prevent damage to the flowers caused by bad weather such as strong winds and heavy rains, and also to prevent the infestation of insect pests, remove pests in time, and maintain the integrity and beauty of the flowers.
The above is the introduction of the cultivation methods and precautions of the linden tree, I hope it will help you.
