Cutting planting: Holly can be planted by cutting. After disinfection, the well-growing branches are inserted into fertile soil to grow new buds, indicating that the cutting is successful. Water and fertilizer management: water the soil when it is dry and apply fertilizer at least twice a year. Pruning and shaping: in summer, cut off dense branches and long branches to improve permeability.

Ilex 1 how to plant it and how to plant it.

Holly can be planted by cutting, and vigorous branches can be obtained from the well-growing mother plant and cut into 10 cm. After soaking in potassium permanganate for disinfection, the bottom is cut into oblique mouths and then inserted into fertile and loose fields. When the buds grow out, the cuttings are alive and can be cultured normally.

2. Water and fertilizer management

Holly likes wet water and is not drought-tolerant. During the breeding period, the soil should be watered in time when it is dry, so that the soil is completely wet. Moreover, Holly has developed roots and can absorb nutrients from the soil, so the demand for fertilizer is low. Generally, fertilizer can be applied twice a year to prevent plants from growing in vain.

Step 3 trim and reshape

In the process of cultivating Ilex, it should be pruned every summer and autumn. In summer, the branches that grow too dense, too long and too dense should be cut off to improve the air permeability between plants, and in autumn, the branches that grow messy and dry should be cut off to keep the plant shape beautiful.
