Podocarpus

The flowers of Podocarpus will bloom in March-April every year. After the flowering period is over, they will bear fruit, which usually matures in August-September. In our country Its shadow can be seen in various regions, with the largest distribution in the Jiangnan region.

Often called money pine and other names, it is an arbor plant that is evergreen all year round.

The uniform and fine wood has its shadow in the ingredients of many daily necessities, so it is very good both in terms of viewing and practicality, so the Podocarpus has a high value.

The reasons why Podocarpus is so popular with everyone

1. High ornamental value

Podocarpus brings a high-end, atmospheric and classy feeling to the small courtyard When you go inside, the courtyard becomes more vibrant at this time.

Podocarpus, which can remain green in all seasons, has an excellent momentum and is more than enough to decorate the small courtyard.

Podocarpus will show various forms in front of everyone. The vigorous trunk is very beautiful and its plasticity is very powerful.

Podocarpus is planted in every home in the south.

2. Strong adaptability

So when planting podocarpus in a small yard, it can be planted anywhere.

Some friends also put Podocarpus indoors for cultivation, but this will not have any impact on its growth.

I have seen a two-meter-tall Podocarpus by chance before. Even though it grows in the hotel lobby most of the time, it still has no impact on its appearance.

Podocarpus can be planted in both southern and northern regions because its adaptability is one of the best among many plants.

And its growth has nothing to do with the quality of light.

3. Good meaning

Podocarpus symbolizes longevity and good luck. Podocarpus is also known as golden pine and fairy cypress.

A good meaning can make everyone happier when they see it, which is one of the reasons why everyone chooses to plant podocarpus in their own yards.

Cultivation environment

If Podocarpus is planted in sandy soil, it will promote the growth of its roots.

Podocarpus is very adaptable and can survive in alkaline soil, but it does not grow well in acidic soil.

Because the growth habits of Podocarpus are well matched with the warm and humid environment in the south, it is more common in the south.

It can grow rapidly in a temperature environment of 15-28 degrees. If the temperature or environment is outside this range, its growth rate will slow down or it will stop growing directly.

However, if the podocarpus is cultivated in a cool place for a long time, although it will not affect its life, it will cause the plant to grow branches and leaves.

In short, a place with good direct light and acidic soil is the most suitable environment for the growth of Podocarpus.

The cold tolerance of Podocarpus

If podocarpus is planted in an environment below minus 8 degrees, frostbite will occur, and in severe cases, death.

Planting podocarpus potted plants in an environment below minus five degrees Celsius will cause frostbite and freeze to death.

So everyone must be cautious in breeding, and we do not rule out that there will be some special circumstances. For example, some podocarpus can survive in temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero.

Common insect pests of Podocarpus

When Podocarpus is cultivated in the south, pests rarely occur.

But if podocarpus is cultivated in a dry environment for a long time, red spider mites will come to visit.

Causing damage to the leaves, the leaves will become withered and then wither.

As soon as this situation occurs, preventive and control measures need to be taken promptly to prevent widespread infection.

After dead or yellow leaves fall off, new green leaves grow very slowly, which will have a great impact on its overall beauty.

Why yellow leaves appear

1. Sunburn

Shade maintenance is most suitable for small plants of Podocarpus to avoid the phenomenon of yellow leaves and falling leaves.

Because large plants of Podocarpus are cultivated in an environment with sufficient light, sunburn will occur on the leaves when there is sufficient moisture.

2. Root rot

When planting potted plants, you must pay attention to the amount of water used to avoid root canker caused by excessive water.

When podocarpus is planted in the ground, if there is no accumulated water, the roots will not rot.

When cultivating Podocarpus in low temperatures, proper water control is beneficial to the growth of the plant. If there are yellow leaves or fallen leaves on the potted Podocarpus, it is most likely caused by poor root systems. , seeing dry and seeing wet is the watering standard during Podocarpus cultivation.

Timely repotting and pruning are particularly important.

Podocarpus itself symbolizes "toughness", "high integrity" and "elegance". Moreover, it is also famous for being easy to take care of and easy to survive. Therefore, many literati call it the "sacred tree"! Because of its high value, it is planted in the living room by many people doing business, hoping to bring a good sign of "bringing in wealth". At the same time, it has a light pine scent and can freshen the air.

"Thousand-yuan potted plants" is really not a joke.

Because the current market price of podocarpus is not low, especially the ones with unique shapes.

It is a pleasant thing to place such podocarpus, which symbolizes wealth, in the living room, bedroom, office or balcony.
