1、 Maintenance skills

1. Light: horse chestnut likes light. If you want it to grow fast, you need to receive sufficient light. Proper shade is needed in summer to avoid burning leaves

2. Watering: water must be poured five times a year, including thawing water in early spring, water before flowers, water after flowers, fruit swelling water and frozen water in late autumn. These five times of watering are very important and need to be watered enough. In addition, in the dry season, water should be added in time, which is conducive to plant growth and make the tree crown plump and branches strong

3. Fertilization: horse chestnut likes fertilizer. In addition to applying enough base fertilizer before planting, fertilizer should also be applied throughout the growth period. Three element compound fertilizer can be applied once a year in spring and farmyard fertilizer in late autumn. This is not only conducive to accelerating plant growth, but also conducive to the safe overwintering of plants

4. Pruning: it is conducive to the growth of thin branches, centralized supply of diseases and pests, and timely pruning of dead branches, which is conducive to the supply of nutrients. Generally, plastic pruning is most appropriate after defoliation in winter or before germination in the next spring

2、 What kind of fertilizer

Whether it is base fertilizer or fertilization during growth, we must be sufficient and supplement nutrients in time to make the plant grow faster. The base fertilizer is mainly farm manure such as cow and horse manure and rotten leaf fertilizer. The fertilizers applied during the growth period are mainly urea, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, rotten leaf fertilizer and farm fertilizer. From the fourth year of plant planting, it is necessary to apply three element compound fertilizer once in spring and farmyard fertilizer once in late autumn. This is not only conducive to accelerating plant growth, but also conducive to the safe overwintering of plants
