2. How to plant Sophora japonica saplings?
1. Purchasing saplings
When selecting Sophora japonica saplings, you must pay attention to whether the area is suitable for planting this variety of sapling. Be sure to buy saplings with intact plants, intact root systems and no damage, so that the survival rate after planting is higher. During transport, try to choose to move them with soil.
2. Choosing a suitable seedling bed
In addition to buying good Sophora japonica saplings, the choice of planting site is also very critical. It is recommended to choose a place with relatively flat terrain, relatively fertile soil, very deep soil layers, good drainage and good air permeability for raising seedlings.
3. Planting
If planting from Sophora japonica seeds, the process is relatively complicated and also harder to manage. Most growers, in order to save trouble, directly buy Sophora japonica saplings for planting, and when the sapling grows to about 5 cm above the ground, they cut off the main trunk. This is mainly done to promote massive sprouting; when the tender shoots grow to 20 cm, one relatively straight and sturdy one can be selected as the main trunk for growing.
4. Daily management
Watering: The frequency and amount of watering for Sophora japonica saplings should be determined according to soil conditions and climate type. Usually, they can be watered two or three times before the rainy season. If flooding occurs, excess water should be drained in time to avoid waterlogging and root rot.
Fertilizing: In addition to the base fertilizer in the soil, if you want them to grow better and faster, you must apply additional fertilizer appropriately; generally in June, nitrogen fertilizer is applied along with watering.
