Cedar cultivation methods

Water management

Cedar has a certain degree of drought resistance and is afraid of waterlogging. Just keep the soil in the basin moist. Water when dry, water thoroughly but avoid standing water. Pay attention to drainage in time after rain to prevent cedar root rot.

Fertilization

It is suitable to use fermented and decomposed human manure and cake fertilizer for fertilization. Potted culture mainly uses cake fertilizer. It is best to control the fertilization time between April and May. Avoid overly thick fertilizer and water. It can be applied in 2-3 times.

Repotting

Generally, repotting is required every 2-3 years, and it is suitable to do it before germination in spring. When repotting, replace half of it with loose, fertile new soil and cut off the rotten roots. After repotting, it needs to be moved to a shaded place and left for about 15 days before it can be managed normally.

Pruning

During the management of cedar, attention should be paid to shaping and head replacement. If the cedar has heavy branches, the head will be damaged or at a disadvantage. It must be pulled up and tied up with strong side skills. It will become the central advantage in the future. This process is to change the head.

Pruning mainly removes overly dense branches, leggy branches, dead branches, diseased branches, etc., and allows you to freely shape the tree according to personal preferences. In order to prevent the cedar from growing too tall, it is necessary to remove the terminal buds and eliminate the top advantage, which will allow the cedar to sprout more side branches.
