4. Nutrient management

Substrate: In soil with sufficient nutrients, good permeability and strong drainage, Platycladus orientalis leaves will grow more vigorously. Temperature: The suitable temperature for growth is around 15℃-25℃. The high temperature in summer cannot exceed 38℃, and the temperature in winter cannot be lower than 0℃. Moisture: Water needs to be controlled during the seedling stage, more watering during the vigorous growth period, and the soil should be moist. In the early stages of planting, organic fertilizers, such as animal manure and bean dregs, can be used as base fertilizer, and chemical fertilizers can be added after entering the growth period.

1. Substrate selection

Arborvitae leaves do not have high requirements on soil and can grow well in any soil quality. However, it will grow better in soil with high fertility, strong air permeability and good drainage. You can mix rotten leaf soil and pebbles in a ratio of one to two before planting.

2. Temperature management

15℃-25℃ is the optimal temperature for the growth of Platycladus orientalis leaves. In autumn, the climate is cool and the leaves of Platycladus orientalis grow rapidly. The maximum temperature in summer cannot exceed 38°C. If the temperature is too high, it will easily enter the dormant period. In winter, when the temperature is below zero, it will easily freeze to death.

3. Water management

To promote the growth of the roots of Platycladus orientalis leaves, water it appropriately when it is a seedling. After entering the growth period, its water demand increases. The frequency and amount of watering must be increased, and the soil must be moist. After summer, the weather is hot and dry, so the amount of water should be increased appropriately.

4. Nutrient management

Arborvitae leaves need to be fertilized with a base fertilizer before planting, mainly organic fertilizers, such as animal manure, bean dregs, etc. Ammonium sulfate can be applied when growth is vigorous, about three times a year, and about five kilograms can be applied to one acre of land.
