How to grow yew? Cultivation methods and precautions for yew

Yew is a precious plant with high ornamental and medicinal value. It is usually made into a potted plant and cultivated indoors, which can not only beautify the environment but also purify the air. However, yew is a delicate plant and it is difficult to cultivate it. It is necessary to master the correct cultivation method. In order to let everyone know how to cultivate yew, I will share the cultivation method with you below.

1. Breeding environment

When growing yew trees, you must choose a suitable environment. Although it does not have high requirements for the growth environment, it must not be placed in an environment where it can be exposed to direct sunlight. When growing it indoors in the summer, it cannot be placed under the air conditioning outlet, and it must not be placed near the heater in the winter. It likes fertile, loose, and acidic soil with a high humus content.

2. Reasonable watering

When growing yew, you must water it properly, because under normal circumstances, the leaves of yew are upright and shiny. If you find that the leaves are drooping, you should water it in time. If the leaves are drooping, it means that it is seriously lacking in water and should be replenished with sufficient water in time. In addition, the demand for water of yew varies at different times. When it is in the peak growth season, that is, from March to November each year, the demand for water is relatively large. After entering the dormant period, its demand for water will be reduced a lot.

3. Apply fertilizer correctly

If you want to grow yew well, correct identification is also very important, especially after making yew into potted plants, you need to apply decomposed cake fertilizer water, and fertilize once a month. In addition, the yew should be repotted every other year. When repotting, add solid and mature organic fertilizer to the potting soil. Only by ensuring sufficient fertilizer supply can the healthy growth of yew be promoted and it can grow vigorously.

4. Timely pruning

It is also very important to prune the yew in time, especially when its lower trunk grows too densely, or when it has dry yellow leaves and falls off, the dense branches at the bottom should be cut off. It can also be trimmed into umbrella, tower, or round shapes. In addition, after repotting the yew, if its leaves curl and dry up, it is also necessary to cut off some of its branches and leaves to reduce its consumption of nutrients and quickly promote the recovery and growth of its root system.
