The cultivation of Aesculus should be carried out according to its growth habit. Firstly, the cultivation of Aesculus needs sufficient light, so the Aesculus should be placed in a sunny place. The growth of heptaceae needs fertile and deep soil with good drainage, and the temperature of growth should be warm, of course, heptaceae is also cold resistant, but in order to grow normally in winter, it is necessary to move to a warm and sunny place indoors to avoid cold air frostbite.
Seven leaf trees should be watered immediately after planting, and the second water should be watered one week later, and the third water should be watered on the 10th day after the second water. After three water is once a month to pour big water, pour completely.
In the growth period of the plant, a small amount of water should be poured from June to August when there is more rain. In the late autumn season, water should be poured once a month. In the early winter, water should be poured again. In the winter, water should be stopped. In the next March, thaw water should be poured again. Therefore, a large amount of water should be poured in March. In the spring, water should be poured frequently to keep the plant growing environment moist.
Fertilization: heptaceae like fertilizer, during the heptaceae planting period with cattle and horse manure or rotten leaf fertilizer as the base fertilizer can be applied.
During the growth period of seven leaf trees, in June of the first year, we can apply urea fertilizer to promote the growth of branches and leaves. By the end of August, we can use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to increase the antifreeze ability of seven leaf trees. In autumn, we need to add a rotten leaf fertilizer with a large amount of fertilizer.
The propagation of heptaceae usually adopts sowing method. First, collect the seeds on the healthy mother tree without disease and harmlessness, and then dry them, and then wet the seeds in the soil with good moisture and drainage. Pay attention to leave ventilation holes.
Wait until the end of March in spring, choose the fertile and well drained neutral sandy soil with the method of on-demand planting. After planting, keep the soil moist, often weed and loosen the soil.
During the cultivation period, we must pay attention to the diseases and insect pests of Aesculus. The common insect pests of Aesculus are: mottled green moth, copper green different beetle, golden caterpillar, mulberry longicorn, etc.
We should pay attention to pruning the seven leaf trees, after the leaves fall in winter or spring before germination, cutting long branches, pruning into a natural round head shape.
Because of the rapid growth of Aesculus, nutrient consumption, so once a year to change basin, to ensure adequate nutrition.
