1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It likes a cool environment, specifically between 13 and 20 degrees. It does not like temperatures that are too high. Generally speaking, it should not exceed 24 degrees. This is the extreme high temperature it can tolerate. However, it has a certain degree of cold resistance and can tolerate temperatures as low as minus eight degrees Celsius, but try not to get too low.

2. Light: It likes light and is sensitive to sunlight. The requirements are relatively high. Especially during the period of vigorous growth, a certain amount of sunshine must be guaranteed every day. However, too strong light is not enough. In summer, it is best to keep it in a semi-shaded environment.

3. Watering: Metasequoia likes moisture, and its Waterlogging tolerance is relatively good. Wild metasequoias are generally found in humid or waterlogged areas. Therefore, sufficient water needs to be provided at ordinary times. Long-term drought is extremely detrimental to its growth.

2. Breeding skills

1 , Propagation: Cuttings can be used. Hard branches can be used for cuttings. The branches can be collected in January and then planted in March. The best length is between ten and fifteen centimeters, and it is best to soak it in rooting powder before inserting. If this step is adopted, new roots will grow in about fifteen to twenty days.

2. Pruning; proper pruning of branches will affect their growth It will be helpful, because there are usually some messy branches, which seriously affects the light transmittance and ventilation. Intensive pruning can be carried out before the beginning of spring, and the specific intensity can be between one-quarter and one-third of the total length of the crown.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 2. Diseases: "Rust" appears more frequently and will spread in large quantities. It can be prevented and treated with fentanin, and it needs to be combined with auxiliary measures such as pruning, and excess water should be drained away in time.
