Lighting: Give it a sunny growing environment and provide adequate shade in summer. Temperature: Let it grow at a temperature of 25 to 30°C. Soil: Choose loose, fertile culture soil with high humus content. Watering: Water frequently during the growing season, about 2 to 3 times a week. In addition, attention should be paid to maintaining the humidity of the environment, saplings should be repotted frequently, and additional fertilizer should be added in spring.

1. Breeding methods

Light

Araucaria likes a sunny growth environment and likes sunlight, but seedlings like shade. They need sufficient sunlight in winter and appropriate shade in summer. Keep shade and avoid sun exposure.

Temperature

Araucaria prefers a warm and humid climate and is not cold tolerant. It grows best when the temperature is maintained at 25℃-30℃. For indoor potted cultivation, it should be placed in a well-ventilated place. The room temperature cannot be lower than 8℃.

Soil

Araucaria prefer fertile soil.

Potted plants require loose and fertile culture soil with high humus content and strong drainage and air permeability. It is best to mix 3 parts loam, 1 part humus soil, 1 part coarse sand and a small amount of plant ash. , the depth of the soil layer is controlled so that the bud points taking root in the upper layer are just exposed on the soil surface.

Watering

Usually it is necessary to keep the relative humidity in the air above 70%.

Water frequently during the growing season, about 2-3 times a week. The best watering depth is 10-15 cm. As the Araucaria grows, gradually reduce the frequency of watering and maintain it regularly. Keep the pot soil and surrounding environment moist.

2. Precautions

Children Repot trees frequently

For young Araucaria trees, it is best to repot them every year or every other spring. For plants over five years old, it is best to repot them every two or three years.

Maintain environmental humidity

Araucaria is not drought-tolerant, so in hot and dry seasons, water should be frequently sprayed on and around the leaves to increase air humidity and keep the soil moist.

Do not make the pot soil too dry or too wet, as this may easily cause the lower leaves to droop.

Apply fertilizer frequently

Potted Araucaria should be mixed with leaf mold soil, peat soil, pure river sand and a small amount of decomposed organic fertilizer. When new buds sprout in spring, decomposed thin organic liquid fertilizer and calcium fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times a month to keep the leaves moist.
