1, suitable soil
Holly likes fertile soil and grows well in moist and well-drained acid soil. Therefore, in the breeding period, it should be provided with a fertile and breathable substrate. If it is potted, loosen the soil and change the medicine regularly to ensure the soil is loose.
2. Suitable light and temperature
Holly likes warm climate and has strong cold tolerance. The optimum temperature is-10℃ to 30℃, and it can withstand low temperature in winter. But in summer, we should avoid high temperature, take shading measures, strengthen ventilation, and prevent branches and leaves from wilting.
Step 3 replenish water
The growth of Ilex pubescens needs sufficient water supply to keep the soil moist in the basin, especially in the peak season of spring and autumn. In summer, the temperature is high, the evaporation is large, and the basin soil will be dry, so it is necessary to water it frequently to improve the air humidity for Holly.
4, plastic pruning
In order to maintain the good ornamental value and normal growth of Ilex, Ilex can be trimmed regularly, usually in summer, and of course, Ilex can be trimmed into various shapes as needed in autumn. Pay attention to pruning branches that are too dense to make them grow healthily.
5. Preventive measures
Holly is a relatively shear-resistant plant. In order to enhance its ornamental value, it should be pruned frequently. In summer and autumn, you can tie the branches tightly according to your favorite shape, and the branches that are too dense can be trimmed properly to make them grow healthily.
