Modeling, how to raise it?

Podocarpus is an evergreen shrub of Podocarpaceae. The stem is straight up. In spring and autumn, new branches and leaves germinate once each, with dense internodes and many branches. The leaves are strip-lanceolate, bright oily green, alternate and spirally arranged.

Sexual preference for warm, humid and semi-cloudy environment is suitable for fertile, humid and well-drained soil. When potted, humus soil or peat soil can be mixed with 1/5 river sand, and a small amount of bone powder can be mixed to make culture soil. When the outdoor temperature is stable at about 10℃, leave the room and put it in the lee of Nanyang terrace or courtyard for maintenance. After summer, move it to the semi-shade. Pay attention to pour out the accumulated water in the basin in time after the rain to avoid waterlogging. Podocarpus is drought-tolerant, and it is better to water the pot soil slightly dry during the growing season. Too much watering, long-term waterlogging of the basin soil will cause rotten roots and yellow leaves. In severe cases, a large number of leaves will fall and the plants will die. In summer, the water evaporates quickly, and the water should be sufficient. If the soil in the pot is too dry, the leaves will die easily. Podocarpus does not like thick fertilizer, and it can grow well by applying dilute liquid fertilizer mainly nitrogen fertilizer 2 ~ 3 times in spring and autumn respectively. Water should be poured once the next day after fertilization, which is beneficial to root absorption. For the plants that have been formed, attention should be paid to coring and pruning to prevent the branches and leaves from growing white, so as to maintain the original posture. Picking and pruning time can generally be carried out in the spring and autumn growing season. When the temperature drops to 5℃ in winter, enter the room, control watering after entering the room, and keep the room temperature at 7 ~ 8℃. Too high room temperature is not good for next year's growth. Generally, change pots every 1 ~ 2 years, and change pots in spring and autumn. When changing pots, pay attention to properly cutting off some excessive roots and rotting fibrous roots, and at the same time cutting off too dense branches and adding new culture soil.
