Betula platyphylla is suitable to grow in the loose, air permeable and slightly acidic soil. In addition, the drainage of the soil is also good, which will be more conducive to its growth and development.
Betula platyphylla is not drought resistant, so we should keep the soil moist and water it in time. If we do not water for a long time, it will lead to its inability to grow. Don't use large amount of water to irrigate in the seedling period. We should control the amount of water. We'd better water a small amount of water several times before growing leaves. Do not use large amount of water to irrigate or not use it.
Betula platyphylla likes sunshine, but it should be properly shaded during its seedling period. It can fully receive sunlight after autumn, which will be conducive to its growth.
The best way to fertilize Betula platyphylla is organic fertilizer. We can fertilize it properly according to its growth. We can apply more nitrogen fertilizer during the period from seedling to growth period, but we should control the amount of fertilizer well to avoid the situation of seedling burning. We should stop applying nitrogen fertilizer in the middle of August, or it will cause its low degree of lignification, and it is difficult to winter.
After it grows for a period of time, it is better to weed properly. When the soil is wet, it is better to uproot the weeds. In May August, it is necessary to weed about 3-4 times. In other times, it is OK to weed 1-2 times. In addition, it is necessary to loosen the soil properly after it stops growing, but do not hurt it.
