Attachment: Cultivation method of Bauhinia tree

1, Bauhinia tree has strong adaptability, likes sunny environment, is heat-resistant, cold-resistant and drought-resistant, but is afraid of water accumulation and has lax requirements on soil. It can grow in poor soil, but it grows better in loose, fertile and well-drained sand. Suitable for planting in Gao Qian and sunny places, not suitable for planting in low-lying places with water and too cool. Suitable for planting in most parts of the country, it is an excellent color-leafed ornamental tree species integrating leaf viewing and flower viewing.

2. Bauhinia likes humid environment, so it should be watered immediately after planting, watered in summer, sprayed on the leaves, and drained in time after rain to prevent the roots from rotting. If the temperature is not high after autumn, we should control the moisture to prevent autumn hair. Pour enough antifreeze water before winter. If you are full of fat, you will have lush leaves and colorful flowers. Without fat, the branches and leaves will be sparse and the flowers will be weak. Plantar fertilizer should be applied when planting, and it is best to use rotten leaf fertilizer, ring fertilizer or dried chicken manure, and mix it with planting soil fully before use, otherwise it will burn the root system.

3. Normal management of Bauhinia: nitrogen fertilizer is applied once a year after flowering to promote vigorous growth, and phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer is applied once in early autumn, which is beneficial to flower bud differentiation and safe overwintering after lignification of new branches. Combined with the freezing water in early winter, cattle and horse manure were applied. The regeneration of flower branches should be strengthened in cultivation. Practice has proved that there are few flowers in the old branches over 5 years, and the flower buds move up, which affects the appreciation and should be updated in time.
