Substrate: The growth substrate of silver wattle should be deep, loose, and preferably acidic to slightly acidic soil. Temperature: It is suitable for growing in a cool and humid environment and can tolerate cold, so it can grow at -7 degrees Celsius. Moisture: It is drought tolerant, but prefers a moist, well-watered soil environment. Lighting: It is a sun-facing tree species with phototaxis and is guaranteed to receive 3 hours of light every day.

1. Maintenance method

1. Substrate selection: Silver vitex is suitable for growing in deep, loose acidic to slightly acidic soil or sandy loam. It should not be too sticky. Poorly drained soil will cause poor growth.

2. Temperature management: It is suitable for growing in cool and humid areas. Environmentally friendly, it can withstand extreme temperatures down to -7 degrees Celsius, and its cold resistance can be said to be very strong.

3. Water management: It has strong drought tolerance, but it also prefers a humid and well-watered environment. Water should be replenished in time, and it should be watered thoroughly after the soil is dry.

4. Light management: Silver vitex is a positive tree species. The crown of the tree is phototactic and requires sufficient sunlight in its young stage.

2. Breeding skills

1. Pruning: During the transplantation of seedlings, branches and leaves must be pruned, mainly diseased branches and weak branches. Take protective measures during pruning to avoid hurting yourself.

2. Sowing: Mix the reserved river sand and seeds evenly, and sprinkle the purchased seeds evenly on the sand bed. Then use some sterilized river sand to cover the surface of the seeds, so that the seeds are not visible.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 Diseases: Fusarium wilt is a common disease. The soil is too sticky and has poor ventilation and drainage, so it is easy to get sick. Therefore, prevention work must be done, the growing environment must be improved, and ventilation and soil loosening must be paid attention to.

2. Pests: There are many pests that harm the plants when they are growing. The most common pest is the psyllid. This pest mainly absorbs its twigs and leaves, and also secretes a kind of wax thread, which will cause the leaflets to fall. It must be prevented and controlled. From May to June every year, pesticides should be used for prevention and treatment.

IV. Other questions

1 . Is it poisonous? Silver wattle is a non-toxic plant with green leaves and bright flowers. Its ornamental value is very high.

2. Can it be cultivated on the ground: It is a silviculture plant, so it is very suitable for cultivation on the ground. However, be careful not to make the density too small to avoid affecting plant development.
