How to plant “Thiet Moc Lan” trees? How to make them bloom?
You can plant “Thiet Moc Lan” trees by sowing seeds or using branches. Planting with branches is the most common method as the tree will grow faster and healthier, while using seeds will take more time.
The “Thiet Moc Lan” tree does not require strong sunlight to grow well. However, if the tree withers, you still need to expose it to sunlight for a period of time to help the leaves regain their vitality and greenness.
The “Thiet Moc Lan” tree loves water but does not need to be watered too frequently. You can water the plant 1-2 times a week for indoor plants and 4-5 times a week for outdoor plants. The best time to water is in the morning or in the cool afternoon. If the leaves show abnormal yellowing, it may be due to overwatering, so pause watering for a while. If the leaves are dry and lifeless, it may be due to lack of water, so increase the amount of water.
The soil for planting the tree needs to have good drainage. Choose soil rich in humus with a pH level between 5-6.5.
The “Thiet Moc Lan” tree needs nutrients to grow. Therefore, you also need to fertilize the tree. Maintain organic or NPK fertilizers for the tree every 2-3 months. The fertilizer should be applied close to the base of the tree, about 5-10 cm away from the trunk. You can also dilute the fertilizer with clean water and evenly pour it around the base of the tree.
To make the “Thiet Moc Lan” tree bloom, you should plant it in the ground and position it where it can receive sunlight. Stop watering the tree for a certain period of time to inhibit its growth. When it gets dark (around 6:30-7:30 pm), place ice water in the pot, about 10-15cm away from the base of the tree. Repeat this process until the tree blooms. After that, you can water the tree normally.
Dealing with common pests and diseases for the tree
If the “Thiet Moc Lan” tree has white spots, you can use a warm cloth to clean the spots on the leaves. Spray saltwater onto the leaves.
