First of all, of course, you need to choose high-quality soil for Aglaia odorata, so that you can provide it with a good growing environment. Decomposed soil or compost soil is a relatively ideal choice. If growers do not have a large amount of this kind of soil, they can choose to make it themselves by mixing rotted plants or fertilizer with soil for fermentation. Just keep the soil depth in each flower pot at 10-15 cm, and keep each flower pot about 10 cm apart. In this way, the initial soil problem is basically solved.
2. Greenhouse temperature control
Like many plants, Aglaia odorata is relatively afraid of low temperatures. Generally, when the temperature is below 5°C, Aglaia odorata will stop developing and may even be damaged. If the temperature is 25°C-30°C, its growth rate will be very fast. At such temperatures, its root system is very vigorous, and the speed of absorbing nutrients is basically at its peak. Therefore, the entire greenhouse is best kept sealed to make it convenient to control its overall growing temperature and let it grow more luxuriantly.
3. Flower pot water control
Water occupies an important proportion in the growth process of Aglaia odorata, so water control needs to be relatively meticulous. In winter, growers are advised to use drip irrigation for watering. In other seasons, it is recommended to use a combination of misting and drip irrigation for watering, which can effectively maintain the moisture in the greenhouse. In winter, keep watering to about 2 times a month; in other seasons, keep it to about 3 times a month. It is enough to keep most of the soil around the Aglaia odorata in the greenhouse moist, and a small portion can be watered additionally.
4. Growth fertilizer control
Fertilizer is the lifeline of Aglaia odorata, but its fertilizer demand is relatively not very high. In order to maintain its nutritional needs in all aspects, growers are advised to apply organic manure. First, the cost is relatively low; second, the nutrients are sufficient. The fertilization time can be controlled to once a month, evenly sprinkled in the flower pot, not piled up at the roots, and then covered and buried with soil. If the growth is good, pay attention to controlling the fertilizer concentration, which can be diluted by watering.
Overall, Aglaia odorata is still relatively easy to grow, and growers just need to pay more attention when cultivating it. For some with poor growth, give them extra attention, and they can basically grow well. Trim them slightly before selling, and they can basically fetch a good price.
