Grow a Radermachera sinica like this for glossy, emerald-green leaves and a whole plant full of life
The Radermachera sinica (China doll) is a flower that many people love very much. It has a graceful and elegant tree shape, and when it blooms, the flowers are fairly large. It is very suitable for growing at home or in the office. The Radermachera sinica likes loose, fertile soil with good air permeability, and it should be fertilized appropriately during its growing season. So how exactly do you make a Radermachera sinica grow better?
Give it a suitable growing environment
1. Suitable soil
You need to choose loose, fertile soil with good air permeability for it. Only with suitable soil can it grow especially well.
2. Appropriate fertilization
During the growing season, the Radermachera sinica should be fertilized once a month, because it grows fairly quickly during the growing season and consumes more and more nutrients. But once the temperature is too high, above 32°C, or below 12°C, stop fertilizing, that is, stop fertilizing in summer when the temperature is too high and in winter when the temperature is too low.
3. Pay attention to watering
When watering the Radermachera sinica, pay attention to the amount of water. It is a plant that likes moisture and is afraid of drying out. Generally in summer, because the temperature is a little higher, water evaporates fairly quickly, so at this time you should water the Radermachera sinica a little more. After winter arrives, water a little less to prevent root rot from overwatering. In spring and autumn, just keep the soil moist.
4. Plenty of light
The Radermachera sinica likes an environment with plenty of sunlight, so during normal care you should give it plenty of light. But in summer, when the sunlight is fairly strong, pay attention to providing appropriate shade and do not let it be exposed to the blazing sun. In winter, however, because the light intensity is too low, appropriately increase the amount of light.
Propagation of the Radermachera sinica
When propagating the Radermachera sinica, two methods are generally used: seed propagation and cutting propagation. For the seed method, soak the seeds before sowing, scatter the seeds onto prepared soil, then cover with several layers of film. After the seedlings emerge, remove the film, and once about four or five leaves have grown, they can be transplanted. For cuttings, cut a branch 15-20 cm long, remove the leaves, leaving only the stem, insert it into a seedbed, and once roots have grown, it can be transplanted.
