1. Maintenance methods

1. Watering: Cypress has a certain drought tolerance. You don’t need to water it too much when watering it. Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering it. Just water it. Even if it is a little dry, there must be no water accumulation. It is very afraid of waterlogging and can easily cause root rot.

2. Fertilization: It does not require a lot of nutrients. When it sprouts and takes root in spring, it is enough to apply thin fertilizer at most once a month. Be careful not to apply too much to avoid fat damage. It can be applied once or twice when growth is rapid in autumn to ensure sufficient nutrients it needs.

3. Light: It needs sufficient sunlight to grow , try to place it in a sunny location when maintaining. It can be raised in the open air or on a balcony with good lighting conditions. It must not be raised in a dark environment, as slow growth and poor growth will occur.

4. Flowerpot: When potting, try to choose a larger and deeper flowerpot. Its root system is very developed and strong. Do not use small flowerpots to limit the growth of its root system. Likewise Poor growth of plants with restricted growth may also occur.

2. Breeding skills

1. Place: When breeding, you should pay attention to the maintenance environment and ventilation, especially in summer, when the air is stuffy and hot, you must give it an environment with good air circulation. In winter, try to move it indoors for maintenance, so that it can survive the winter safely at normal room temperature.

2. Propagation: Cuttings are commonly used during reproduction. Propagation by cuttings is divided into spring cuttings and winter cuttings. Spring cuttings are generally carried out from February to March in spring, and winter cuttings are carried out in November. conduct. When cutting, select the top part of the side branches, cut off the remaining side branches and leaves, insert them into the soil, water them, and then maintain them in a cool place.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Red spider mites: This kind of pest is relatively common. If it is raised outdoors, birds will usually peck at it, but prevention is still the priority. If spider mites are found, they need to be killed immediately with 20% mite emulsifiable concentrate 3000 times. If you insist on using it, they can be eradicated.

2. Purple feather disease: This disease is usually caused by inappropriate maintenance environment. This situation will occur if the substrate is not clean or has been used for a long time. It needs to be replaced with new soil in time to effectively alleviate it.

IV. Other issues

1. Can it be cultivated indoors: Cypress is not suitable for indoor cultivation, mainly because the indoor environment is not suitable for its growth. Because it needs sufficient sunlight to grow, indoor lighting is generally not very good, and the ultraviolet rays of sunlight passing through the glass are filtered out, which is not very suitable for its growth, so it is better to breed it outdoors as much as possible.

2. Whether it blooms: Dragon cypress will bloom, but its flowers are very small and inconspicuous, so they are often ignored by people. Its flowers are generally yellow, and there are not many at the top of the branches.
