Bauhinia likes acid soil and can tolerate barren soil, but it grows well in fertile soil, and requires loose, good drainage, and sandy soil is better. When transplanting Bauhinia, you can take some soil at its root and transplant it with soil.
Bauhinia likes sunny environment and requires warm growing environment, because Bauhinia is not very cold resistant. In the process of breeding Bauhinia, it is necessary to ensure sufficient light, but Bauhinia can withstand shade. When the high temperature light is strong in summer, it can cover the sun to prevent exposure. The suitable temperature for the growth of Bauhinia is between 23 ℃ and 34 ℃. In winter, the temperature for overwintering should be above 5 ℃. If necessary, potted Bauhinia plants should be placed in greenhouse or warm indoor for winter.
Bauhinia like to wet some of the environment, but to avoid water. In spring and autumn, we should keep enough water, water frequently and keep a certain humidity. In autumn and winter, we can make the potted plants dry and reduce watering. In winter, it is better to water at noon. Fertilization needs to be based on the growth status of plants. Generally, 1-2 times of liquid fertilizer can be applied in the growth period, and several times of thin fertilizer water can be applied after flowering. In autumn, some phosphate fertilizer can be applied to promote flowering next year.
After flowering, redbud can be pruned to cut off the long branches, diseased branches, weak branches and keep the old ones. Summer can pick the heart, promote the growth of flowers and branches, and make the crown plump.
Bauhinia is usually turned over every 2-3 years, usually in autumn. In autumn, it can be combined with turning basin, pruning root, and changing culture soil.
Bauhinia will have diseases such as angular spot disease, bituminous coal disease and other pests such as aphids and coir moths.
