Temperature

Thor prefers a warm environment. The most suitable growth temperature is 18~25℃. The temperature during the day must be 22~25℃ and at night 18~ 21℃, a certain temperature difference is more conducive to the growth of Thor.

Thunder God is not cold-resistant, so you should keep warm in winter and enter the house in time. When the temperature is high in summer, it is necessary to open windows and sprinkle water for ventilation in time.

Light

Thor loves light. When there is insufficient sunlight, the leaves will be long and thin, and the white powder on the leaves will also be reduced. The plants will be loose and lack beauty, especially The reddish-brown color of the needles on the leaf tips and edges will be dull. In brindle breeds, the beautiful markings will also fade.

In summer, the sun is too strong, so you need to shade appropriately. Especially for plants that have been maintained in semi-shade for a long time, do not suddenly move them to a bright place or a place with strong sunlight, as the leaves are easily burned.

Water

Thor prefers a dry soil environment and has strong drought tolerance. Watering should be properly controlled during the growth period of Thor, and frequent watering should be avoided. If the pot soil is wet, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and the roots to rot. However, the pot soil should not be too dry, otherwise the plants will grow slowly or even stop growing. Under normal circumstances, water once every 10 days or so.

In summer, when the temperature is high, you can increase the frequency of watering appropriately, once a week, and spray water on the plants frequently to keep the leaves green. During winter dormancy, watering should be controlled and the pot soil should be kept dry. Low temperature and excessive moisture in the pot soil are detrimental to the safe overwintering of the plant.

Fertilization

Thor is very tolerant of barrenness because it grows slowly and does not require much fertilizer. During the growth period, topdress nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once a month to ensure the robust growth of the plants and make the reddish-brown color of the needles more vivid. When fertilizing, pay attention to applying thin fertilizer frequently and avoid applying heavy fertilizer. Applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 1 to 2 times after autumn and stopping the application of nitrogen fertilizer can help the plants survive the winter safely. Stop fertilizing during winter dormancy.

Pruning

No pruning is required during the growth period. Just observe the old leaves at the base and cut them off when they wither.
