The flowers and plants we carefully maintain are lifeless in winter, and many of them are only bare branches, without any ornamental value. The plant we are going to talk about today, it will only bear fruit in the cold winter, and it is beautiful against the background of snow.
First, the introduction of North American holly
North American holly is a shrub plant of the holly family, which originally lived in the northeast of the United States, and was modified to enter China. Its ability to resist the cold is very strong, friends in the northeast can also rest assured to start, now is a good time to buy, the price will definitely rise before and after the Spring Festival.
May and June of each year is the time when its flowers bloom, and after October, its fruits begin to turn red, which is loved by the Chinese people. At that time, its leaves will also fall, leaving only a bunch of ruby-like fruits hanging from the branches. Its fruit grows until April and May of the following year, and then enters a new cycle, and it can be planted in pots and yards.
2. Grow North American holly
North American holly is everywhere on the market, and the one we just bought back is a small pot with a little dirt. Now that snow has begun to fall in many places, even if there is no snowflake, the weather is gradually getting colder, it is best to maintain it indoors first. After the temperature warms up next spring, put it in the prepared pot and move it outside to take care of it.
Do not grow it directly with ordinary soil, weak acid or neutral soil environment is what it likes. We can configure the soil for it ourselves, mixing saprophyll soil or pine needle soil into the soil. North American holly is a highly ornamental plant, which can be maintained in high-value, easy-to-drain, breathable pots, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival will be stronger because of its presence.
Third, sufficient light
North American holly is very fond of sunlight, but the summer light is too strong, do not let it shine directly. Grow in the yard, it is best to choose a place with long light and not so strong to plant North American holly. It can be placed on the south-facing balcony or window in the pot, and it receives a certain amount of sunlight, which will transform more organic matter conducive to plant growth through photosynthesis.
Our carefully cared for North American holly produces a satisfying fruit that can tolerate temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees. We don't have to worry about it freezing to death in winter, and we can do our own thing with peace of mind. Imagine a few snowflakes falling on top of the bright red fruit, it is really beautiful, and the photo that comes out of the back with it as a background is definitely good.
Fourth, fertilize and water
North American holly originally grows near swamps and ponds, and it is necessary to keep the soil moist from time to time. The growth of North American holly roots in pots may have certain limitations, so we should have more snacks than usual. See the soil rolled up, you must replenish the water in time, each time the water must be watered thoroughly, see the bottom of the water droplets flowing out, you can.
It is trying to grow in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, and the nutrients in the soil cannot satisfy it. We need to apply additional fertilizer, common nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be, must be diluted, the concentration is too high will burn the roots. The Winter North American Holly basically stopped growing, can reduce the number of fertilization, 3-4 months can be applied once, let it remain in a normal state.
5. Other matters
It doesn't take much effort to maintain The North American holly, and as long as it is provided with a good growing environment, it will not disappoint us. It still grows very fast, and in the same year it can reap the fruits of its labor. Spring is a good time to plant it, but it is also an opportunity to prune it.
In the spring, it has a strong ability to grow, whether it has just been bought or transplanted, we have to conduct a detailed examination of the roots, and cut off those that do not look good. Properly control the height of the branch, always know that we raise it to see, beautify the environment, there is no need to make it grow too high.
Its fruit-bearing branches do not necessarily have to be bought back to put together, we can cut off the branches with more fruits, and use them in flower arrangements to definitely have a beautiful view. The choice of vase is important, and from the moment we decide to raise North American holly, we have to do every detail. It embodies the meaning of red to the fullest, and friends who come to the house will praise this fruit.
It should be noted that North American holly is a hermaphroditic plant, and after we buy a female plant with a full fruit, we also need to take a branch that does not look very good male. This is to prepare for pollination in the coming year, the first flower is the male plant, after a few days the female plant will bloom her own beauty, after pollination, the fruit begins to develop.
North American holly is the food of small birds, grown outside, we have to protect its fruit. It's better to get a net for it, or you won't see this spectacular scene.
