water
During the one-year growth period of Aesculus chinensis, the key irrigation should be divided into four times, that is, before flowering, after flowering, fruit expansion period and frozen water period. Every irrigation is very important, so it is necessary to pour enough water.
Fertilize soil or land
Annular furrow fertilization is suitable. Base fertilizers are mainly slow-acting fertilizers (such as plant ash and green manure). ), and it is best to do it after 10 months until the trees stop growing. Small trees can be fully applied with basic fertilizer at one time, while large trees should be applied with quick-acting fertilizer before and after flowering, and human excrement and urine should be applied again before the growth of spring shoots approaches to stop, so as to promote flower bud differentiation and fruit expansion. Pay attention to tree potential when fertilizing, and apply less phosphorus and potassium to strong trees; Weak trees, especially those with many flowers and fruits, should be fertilized more.
Plastic trimming
The shaping and pruning of aesculus chinensis should be carried out before germination in winter or spring every year, mainly to make aesculus chinensis branches evenly distributed and grow healthily. The pruning method is mainly to shorten the branches, cut off dead branches, internal branches, diseased branches, etc., so as to make the crown beautiful.
Eliminate pests and diseases
Aesculus diseases include early defoliation and root rot, and pests are mainly scarabs and caterpillars, so it is necessary to find and treat them early.
