1、 Breeding environment

1. Moisture: usually, the watering times and amount should be controlled to ensure that there is sufficient water for its growth. However, watering should not be too much. Once there is ponding, it will lead to rotten roots and poor growth. Generally, watering should be carried out after the basin soil becomes dry

2. Light: Osaka pine should be given enough light. It likes sunshine. It can grow more healthily under appropriate sunlight. However, if the light is too strong, it may burn it, so shading measures should be taken appropriately

3. Fertilization: it doesn't have very high requirements for fertilizer, so it doesn't need to apply too much fertilizer, and the fertilization times should not be too frequent. Generally, it's OK to apply fertilizer 1-2 times a year. If the amount of fertilizer is too large, it will cause overgrowth, and the fertilizer concentration should not be too high

2、 Breeding method

Grafting and propagation: select strong branches as scions and trim them appropriately. The scion incision should be the same as that of rootstock, about 1cm. Cut a incision on the branches of black pine, insert it into the incision, and then bind it with plastic bags

3、 Common diseases and insect pests

To prevent common diseases and insect pests in advance, you can brush some insect proof liquid on its trunk. If there are diseases and insect pests, you should catch them manually or spray them with medicine in time
