How should the Radermachera sinica be grown to do well?
1. Temperature: The Radermachera sinica likes a warm and humid environment. During the day, control it between 19 and 21°C, and at night control it between 18 and 20°C. Too high or too low will affect growth. When the ambient temperature is very high, shade it appropriately with a shed, and in winter the temperature must not be lower than 8°C.
2. Humidity: The Radermachera sinica likes humidity. Indoor humidity should be controlled between 70 and 80%. If the humidity is too low or it is kept in a dry environment for a long time, the leaves will curl and turn yellow, thus affecting its ornamental value.
3. Light: The Radermachera sinica relatively likes light and can also tolerate slight shade. Full sun and semi-shade environments are both acceptable. Potted plants displayed indoors should be placed by a window with ample light. If placed in a dim indoor area for a long time, it easily loses leaves.
4. Watering: The Radermachera sinica likes moisture and fears dryness. During the seedling stage, keep the seedbed moist. In hot and dry seasons, pay attention to water supply. To prevent excessive growth, watering can be controlled when new shoots emerge in spring. In summer and autumn, spray regularly, but do not water too much, to avoid waterlogging and root rot.
6. Soil: The Radermachera sinica likes loose, fertile, well-drained soil rich in humus. It can be mixed with garden soil + leaf mold + decomposed organic fertilizer + river sand in a 5:3:1:1 ratio, and at the same time add perlite or vermiculite to the soil to avoid soil compaction.
7. Fertilizing: The Radermachera sinica grows relatively quickly and needs more nutrients. During the growing period, it needs frequent fertilizing. Generally, a mixed fertilizer with equal proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is sufficient. Diluted thin fertilizer water can also be used instead of clean water. Stop fertilizing in winter.
