1、 Breeding method of kapok

1. Temperature: it likes a warm environment. The temperature is between 20-30 degrees, which is conducive to growth. The high temperature in summer can be tolerated. However, the cold resistance is poor. When breeding, we should pay attention to temperature control. The lowest temperature should be more than 5 degrees, otherwise we will be frostbitten

2. Light: it belongs to the masculine tree species and likes light very much. When breeding, you should bask more in the sun. Long-term lack of light will hinder growth and affect flowering

3. Fertilization: when cultivating, we should use the rotten cake fertilizer as the base fertilizer, and the soil should be more fertile. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied before flowering and at full flowering stage every year, so that the flowers will bloom better and the flower color will be more colorful

4. Moisture: it has strong drought resistance and doesn't like wet environment. Therefore, watering should not be too frequent during breeding. It is better to be dry than wet. In rainy days, the ponding should be drained in time to avoid affecting the growth

2、 Precautions for kapok breeding

Kapok is not easy to be infected with diseases during its growth, but pests will occur. In particular, the foot moth should be caught manually in time when it is found, and drugs should be sprayed to control it

3、 Where is kapok suitable for planting

The origin of kapok is in the south of China. It likes the environment of high temperature, dry and sufficient light. From its growth habits, it is also suitable for growing in the south. The cold resistance is poor, so it's best not to plant in the cold north, which is difficult to maintain growth and management
