The origin of silver birch is in Australia. Are you not familiar with it? Its flowers are red or white, sometimes pink and apricot. The flowering period in the place of origin can reach 250 days, but when grown in our country, it can bloom all year round.

When cultivating it as a small indoor potted plant, the first thing is to sow its seeds in the seedling pot. The seeds must be of good quality, preferably unharvested. For seeds collected from mother plants that have been attacked by diseases and insect pests, the cultivation soil only needs to be slightly loose and fertile, because the adaptability of silver birch is relatively strong.

2. Germination

Sow the seeds After careful care, the seeds will germinate soon. After germination, you can choose some seedlings with similar growth conditions and keep the height between 3 cm and 5 cm, so that the later growth will be more neat.

3. Transplanting

Be careful when transplanting seedlings. You must not damage the root system of the silver birch, otherwise it will affect the later survival rate. When transplanting, generally plant in a three-leaf pot with a height of 5 Seedlings larger than one plant will grow more vigorously in this way. You can choose ceramic pots or blue and white porcelain pots for flower pots. These two flower pots are either more primitive or more gorgeous. They are both very suitable for red birch and silver birch, and will get a very good visual effect. .

Finally, just place the planted red birch in a window or in a place with sufficient indoor light. Its seedlings will be affected by the flower pot. It will not grow too long, so it will be more ornamental. However, if it is placed in a place with poor lighting conditions, its branches will grow too long, and its overall beauty will be poor. Sex will be greatly reduced! In fact, if the red birch is planted on the ground and the environment is suitable, it can grow to more than 30 meters, and there will be beautiful cracks on the bark. It will be very spectacular when it blooms, but from the time the seeds are sown to blooming It takes 30 years.
