How to grow the Peace Tree
1. Temperature: The Peace Tree likes a high-temperature and humid environment. The optimal temperature is 22°C to 30°C. When the temperature exceeds 32°C, shade the Peace Tree with a shed and spray water on the leaves to increase humidity and lower temperature, so that it can maintain vigorous growth. In winter, the lowest temperature must not be lower than 5°C.
2. Watering: The Peace Tree likes moist soil. Water it appropriately every morning and evening. In winter, spray more water and water less. There must be no standing water in the pot.
3. Light: The Peace Tree needs relatively good light, but it is also fairly shade-tolerant. It is suitable for maintenance in a semi-shaded environment. Its light requirement changes with age. If the light is too strong, it easily causes the leaves to turn yellow and lose their spirit, reducing its due ornamental value.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize the Peace Tree once a month. After autumn begins, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 2 times in succession. In winter, all forms of topdressing should be stopped to prevent fertilizer damage to the roots.
5. Soil: Small plants should be repotted once a year, and large plants should have their soil changed once every 2 years. Loosen the soil once a month during the growing season. The best time for repotting and changing soil is in spring.
6. Pests and diseases: Aphids are likely to appear on the young leaves and new buds of the Peace Tree. After spreading plant ash on the plant, rinse it clean with clear water, and spray chinaberry leaf juice, which can effectively kill insects. Spray and kill with 10% imidacloprid wettable powder at 2000 times dilution.
