1. Soil

Taiwan Podocarpus grows in loose, fertile and well-drained slightly acidic soil. When breeding, you can use pastoral soil or leaf mold soil, add some river sand and base fertilizer to prepare its soil.

2. Light

It is a semi-positive plant and grows well in a semi-shade environment, but it needs appropriate light during the growth period. Therefore, after breeding indoors for a period of time, you can move it out and place it in the courtyard or balcony to restore life as soon as possible.

3. Temperature

It likes warmth and has weak cold tolerance. In summer, spring and autumn, the temperature should be kept at 17-25℃. When the temperature is high in summer, it needs to be cooled appropriately to prevent water from evaporating and causing it to wilt. The temperature should not be lower than 10℃ in winter to avoid freezing damage.

4. Watering

It likes a moist environment and needs frequent watering during the growth period, but no water accumulation is allowed. If water accumulates for a long time, it will have black roots, yellow leaves, and even a large number of leaves falling off, and the plant will die. In summer, you can water once a day in the morning or evening. In spring and autumn, you can water once every 2-4 days. In winter, you should reduce the amount of watering and water it once every 7 days.

5. Fertilization

It prefers fertilizer, but does not like thick fertilizer. During the growing season, you can use decomposed organic liquid fertilizer and topdress it every ten days and a half. You need to irrigate it with water the next day after fertilization to facilitate its absorption. Apply thin liquid fertilizer mainly nitrogen fertilizer 2-3 times in spring and autumn, so that it will grow better.
