The pH value of the soil required by Taxus chinensis is between 5.5-7.0, and the acid sandy soil with loose and moist, good drainage and high organic matter content is the best one, which can be mixed with garden soil, peat soil and sand soil, plus a small amount of mature organic fertilizer.
Yew likes shade and cool, so it should be properly shielded from direct sunlight, so as to avoid evaporation of water, leading to dehydration of branches and leaves, and drying of leaves. Put it indoors in summer, and put it on the windowsill in the evening for ventilation. Although yew doesn't like sunshine, but it can't be without sunshine. In the climate where sunshine is not strong, it can receive sunshine properly.
Taxus chinensis should be watered more in the growing season and less in the dormancy period. In the specific spring and autumn season, water should be watered once in 5-7 days, once in 3-5 days in summer and once in 7-10 days in winter. At the same time, it should also be determined according to the actual growth situation. Generally, the normal leaves of Taxus chinensis are straight and bright. If you find that the leaves are drooping, you should water them. If the leaves are drooping, it indicates that there is a serious lack of water, you should water them. When you tap the flowerpot, you will find that the sound is very empty, you should also water them.
When cultivating Taxus chinensis, we should apply fertilizer in time. Each plant uses 0.2 Jin of organic fertilizer and 0.02 Jin of compound fertilizer. At the same time, we can apply some farmyard fertilizer, cake fertilizer, etc.
Yew like cool and humid climate, can resist the low temperature of - 30 ℃, the most suitable growth temperature is 20-25 ℃. Don't need too much heat preservation measures in winter, pay attention to shading when the temperature is too high in summer
In the normal growth environment, Taxus chinensis seldom appears insect damage. If it appears yellow or insect damage, it can be irrigated or sprayed with methyl mop and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. In the rainy season, root rot, stem rot and rotten roots will occur in Taxus chinensis, and dikesong should be used for prevention. In high temperature and dry season, Taxus is easy to appear leaf blight and red blight.
