1、 Breeding method

1. Loose soil: banyan trees are suitable for growing in fertile and acidic soil, which is very helpful for plant development. Pot soil can be prepared by mixing rotten leaf soil and garden soil. The ratio of the two is 1:2. In addition, an appropriate amount of small gravel should be added to the soil. Although the plant is slightly resistant to water and humidity, it is also necessary to ensure good drainage to avoid root flooding and decay

2. Proper watering: the banyan tree likes a humid environment, so it should be watered often to ensure that there is enough water in the basin soil. Usually, it should be watered every 5 days. In addition, do not let there be ponding in the basin soil, so as not to affect the respiration and growth of the root. If it is summer, due to the rapid evaporation of water, the watering interval can be shortened to avoid soil drought

3. Supplementary fertilizer: banyan trees prefer fertilizer, and sufficient nutrients can make them grow more lush. Usually in the growth period, fertilizer should be applied once every half a month, and alum fertilizer water is often used as fertilizer. In summer and winter, due to climate reasons, the growth of plants is relatively slow and the demand for fertilizer is not high. Therefore, the number of fertilization should be reduced

4. Control light: banyan trees need enough light and can't be exposed to the sun. You can put it in a bright place to avoid direct light. Appropriate shade is needed in summer, but long-term light should be provided in winter. The environment should not be too dark, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and wither, reducing its ornamental value

2、 Precautions

Usually, the potted banyan tree needs to change the pot once a year. The time for changing the pot is mostly in spring. After the plant is removed from the pot, it should be properly trimmed and replanted. If the pots are not changed for a long time, the soil will harden and harden, affecting the respiration of the roots and not conducive to the infiltration of water
