How to grow golden trumpet trees? Cultivation methods and precautions

Flowers & Gardening Jan 1, 1970 0 views

This is a plant that changes its appearance with the alternation of the four seasons. In spring its branches and leaves are very sparse, but once it reaches around Qingming it produces beautiful yellow flowers; in summer it grows leaves and sets fruit; in autumn its branches and leaves grow very lush, presenting a scene of verdant green; once winter comes, with lower temperatures, its leaves drop completely and its branches wither. Isn't it interesting? If you want to grow it, take a look at how to do it!

1. Temperature

Generally this plant grows best under conditions of 23°C to 30°C and cannot adapt well to cold seasons, so in our country more people grow it in the south.

2. Light

This plant requires a great deal of light during the seedling stage, but if it is grown in a greenhouse, insufficient light and ventilation may weaken the growth of the young seedlings, which then develop damping-off disease. So after its seeds germinate and leaves have grown out, be sure to ensure that the shading level of the growing environment does not exceed 50 percent, and also ensure the ventilation conditions of the environment.

3. Soil

To cultivate large seedlings, you should choose some loose, fertile soil, and this soil must have good capacity for both irrigation and drainage. These cultivation soils should be divided with ditches to facilitate irrigation and drainage, and roughly 3000 plants can be grown per mu.

4. Flower fertilizer

Before growing, bury some flower fertilizer in the soil as a base fertilizer, and this base fertilizer should be thoroughly and evenly mixed with the soil before planting on top of it.

5. Tying and staking

Because this plant grows very fast during the seedling stage, and its main trunk is very soft, it is very easy for it to fall over when the wind blows, so naturally growing plants often have a rather unattractive form. If you want a plant that can stand upright and grow relatively tall and straight, then after planting, when the seedling has grown to 30 to 50 cm tall, insert a 2 m tall bamboo pole beside the seedling to support and guide the plant so it can grow upright. And every time the seedling grows 50 cm taller, it must be tied once.

6. Pruning

This plant must be pruned regularly during its growth period, cutting off the relatively low branches that grow out from the sides, and after the leaves drop in winter it must be pruned once more.
