The date palm is one of the earliest old tree species in the world. Its plant is very tall and majestic, and its shape is also very graceful. The trunk is also very thick, the tops of leaves are clustered, and the pinnae are spread out very densely. So this also makes it a very valuable ornamental plant. It can be used as a landscape tree or planted as a street tree, which is quite spectacular. But what are the methods and things to pay attention to when raising it? Let’s take a look.

1. Preparing the land and making borders

1. Land preparation and bordering

When preparing land, you usually choose a place that is more convenient for traffic. The light should be sufficient, the soil layer should be deep, rich in organic matter, and drainage and irrigation should be good. Soil that is convenient, loose and fertile in texture should be used as a good planting site. Drainage ditches should also be opened around the area to prevent water damage from entering the soil. Before planting, the soil must be plowed deeply and exposed to the sun for a period of time, and then the soil can be trimmed and hooked. The width of the border is generally 100 cm, and the width of the ditch is about 20 cm. Start digging holes according to a certain distance between the rows of plants. The depth of the hole is generally 30 cm and the diameter is 30 cm. In addition, add an appropriate amount of farm fertilizer to the bottom of the hole, mix it evenly, and add a little soil when appropriate. .

2. Plant at the right time

Date palm seedlings grow relatively slowly. After one year of growth in the nutrient bag, the seedlings will only have 3 to 5 leaves. At this time, you can start planting large fields. The planting season is generally from April to September. When planting, carefully remove the nutrient bag to avoid affecting its survival rate due to loose culture soil. The depth of planting is best to keep the seedlings in the bag just above the soil surface. After planting, water it thoroughly to establish the roots.

3. Fertilization

In planting After planting, keep the soil moist. One month after planting, the seedlings will begin to grow. At this time, you need to start adding fertilizer in time, and you can add a little compound fertilizer. During the growing season, a little compound fertilizer should be applied once a month, either dry or water-applied. You can start adding potassium fertilizer after September. After a period of careful cultivation, the size of the base of the plant can reach more than 25 to 30 centimeters, and the natural height is more than 2 meters. At this time, it can be used in landscaping. Therefore, the application of fertilizer is also indispensable.
