Fertilization: Use more human feces as fertilizer and less chemical fertilizers in breeding. Fertilizer should be applied sparingly and frequently. Watering: This plant likes a humid environment, so keep the soil moist. Water more during the dry season and avoid water accumulation during the rainy season. Shade: It likes shade and is afraid of direct sunlight. It is best to use shading treatment during breeding. Soil cultivation: Make sure the soil is loose and breathable.

1. Fertilization

When artificially cultivating Aesculus aesculata, base fertilizer needs to be added to the soil. The base fertilizer used accounts for 70-80% of the total fertilizer and must be applied to the soil before transplanting. The amount of top dressing in the later period can only account for about 20% of the total fertilizer amount. Topdressing with human manure water is done once a year after the seedlings are unearthed. No or less chemical fertilizers are used. Chemical nitrogen fertilizers are prohibited. Remember to fertilize sparingly and fertilize frequently.

2. Watering

Aesculus prefers a slightly moist soil environment, so the soil needs to be kept moist. In rainy weather, remember to drain water in time, so as to avoid the storage of accumulated water. In the dry season, it should be watered as soon as possible, and watering can be done at regular intervals.

3. Shade

It likes shade and is afraid of strong light. It is best to have a light transmittance of 40%-50% throughout the growth period. Therefore, after seedling emergence and transplanting, shading measures must be taken. Where conditions permit, it is best to use a sunshade net. Where conditions do not exist, tree branches can be used for shade.

4. Soil cultivation

Top dressing must be applied in early June. 2-3kg of farm fertilizer can be used per acre of planting land. The soil used for cultivation must be loose and clean and sterile.
