Agricultural technology for growing Ficus seeds
1. Choosing a landing site
Ficus is a light-loving plant, but can also tolerate partial shade. In hot weather, it is better to shade the plant from direct sunlight.
Ficus does not tolerate drafts and strong winds.
2. Soil preparation
Ficus prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. Before planting, it is necessary to dig the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm and add organic fertilizers (humus, compost, peat).
3. Landing
Ficus can be planted as seeds or seedlings.
When sowing seeds, the seeds are sown in open ground in the spring, when the soil temperature reaches +10 °C. The seeding depth is 2-3 cm. The seeding rate is 20-30 seeds per 1 m².
When planting seedlings, seedlings are planted in open ground in spring or autumn. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 2-3 m from each other.
4. Ficus care
- Watering
Ficus needs to be watered regularly, especially in hot weather. It is necessary to water the plant abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out.
- Feeding
Ficus needs to be fed 2-3 times a month during the growing season. Mineral or organic fertilizers are used for fertilizing.
- Weeding
It is necessary to weed out weeds regularly so that they do not choke the plants.
- Trimming
Ficus does not need pruning, but it can be done to form the crown of the plant. Pruning is carried out in spring or autumn.
5. Diseases and pests
Ficus is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, in some cases, the plant may be attacked by the following pests:
-Spider mite: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Aphids: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to become deformed and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
Ficus is an ornamental plant that is used for landscaping parks, gardens and other areas.
