Location

Many flower friends don't know much about the cultivation of banyan trees. Unlike many flowers and plants, banyan trees like a warm, sunny, humid and ventilated environment, so the maintenance site should meet these requirements, otherwise it will easily lead to the death of banyan trees.

Watering method

If the potted banyan tree is not watered for a long time, the plant will wilt because of water shortage. Therefore, the growth of the plant should be observed in time and watered according to the soil. When watering, there is water flowing out from the drain hole at the bottom of the basin until the surface of the soil turns white.

At ordinary times, when the humidity of the environment is low, a small slot can be padded on the lower part of the flowerpot, and a little water can be properly installed, which is conducive to increasing the humidity. We should also spray water regularly, especially in the hot disaster season.

Precautions

The pruning of banyan trees is mostly carried out in dormancy period, when pruning in growth period, white viscous juice will flow out, which is very harmful to the growth of plants. In the early pruning process, the knife must be sharpened to avoid too many wounds.

For any potted plant, the nutrients in the potted soil will be exhausted on that day. Therefore, it is necessary to change the pot every two years. When changing the pot, a small amount of base fertilizer should be added. The best time to change the pot is early spring or late autumn.
