Soil: the adaptability of sycamore is strong, acid and neutral soil can be planted, and the soil layer should be thick, loose and permeable. Temperature: the best temperature is 15 ℃ - 25 ℃. If the temperature difference is too high, the growth will be slow. Water content: the number of times of watering should be more in the seedling stage. As it grows, the number of times of watering can be reduced appropriately. Nutrient: in autumn, the basic fertilizer should be applied when turning the soil, and calcium phosphate and nutritious soybean cake fertilizer can be applied in the fruiting period.

I. maintenance method

1. Selection of substrate: it is best to choose loose and permeable soil, with thicker soil layer, which is convenient for sycamore to take root. It can grow in the acid and neutral soil, but the survival rate is low in the alkaline soil, and the waterlogged land is also not conducive to the growth of sycamore.

2. Temperature management: sycamore is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment. It is afraid of cold. In winter, when the temperature is lower than - 3 ℃, it needs to be insulated. Similarly, if the summer temperature is too high, it will also affect the growth, the best temperature is about 15 ℃ - 25 ℃.

3. Water management: in the early stage of young seedlings of sycamore, water frequently to keep the soil slightly wet. In the rapid growth stage, the amount of water increases, the number of times of watering decreases, and the watering can be stopped later

4. Nutrient management: deep plough the soil around the root every autumn, and put in base fertilizer of oil residue, feces and other types. In addition, the result period can be superphosphate, ammonium nitrate, soybean cake mixed application.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Sowing: sowing is a common method of propagation. In autumn, when the fruit of sycamore is mature, the ball is picked and dried, and then the seed is taken. It can be sown in the autumn of that year, or stored in the spring of the next year. It is recommended that the row spacing be 250mm, and then cover with a layer of soil about 15mm thick.

2. Winter: the weather is very dry in winter. Before winter, pruning is required to prevent water loss. North winter temperature is low, before winter can wrap a layer of straw mat for trunk warmth.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Frost moth: it feeds on the leaves of sycamore trees. In serious cases, it will eat up the whole leaves. In winter, you can turn over the land several times to kill some pupae. After the disease appears, you can spray the back of the leaves with dichlorvos and dimethoate.

2. Leaves dropping: the plant may have Platanus platyphylla, which can be sprayed with Omethoate every other week. When spraying, the amount of medicine should be sufficient, and the spraying should be even.

4. Other issues

1. Whether it can be raised at home: the branches and leaves of sycamore trees are luxuriant and green, which can be maintained at home. And management requirements are not strict, very suitable for planting in the courtyard

2. Whether it can be planted: it can be planted. After growing up, sycamore trees are mainly used as urban greening trees. The requirements for soil are looser, water-saving, and the survival rate of ground planting is higher.
