Calocedrus decurrens propagation
Ornamental trees, such as Calocedrus decurrens, are among the trees that are difficult to propagate outside their original habitat. Therefore, trees are often propagated by tissue culture, as their cultivation by planting seeds or propagating them by cultivating cuttings did not succeed.
Calocedrus decurrens water needs.
Calocedrus decurrens trees are often watering except when they need watering, as thirsting or drowning the trees often leads to their death, so watering must be done with extreme caution, as they are very sensitive trees, so the trees must be watering when they need watering and the soil dries out in a manner that calls for irrigation of the trees, and that depends.
Also on the nature of the soil and environmental conditions in the region.
Calocedrus decurrens fertilizer
Often, olive trees, such as aloe vera, are fertilized by adding neutral (chemical) mineral fertilizer NPK 12: 12: 12 of the major elements: nitrous oxide – phosphorous – potassium at a rate of 300 g / tree, age 3-5 years.
Provided that the fertilizer is added in two batches, the first batch during the month of March and the second batch during the month of August.
Calocedrus decurrens sunlight requirements
It is very important to plant ornamental trees, such as aloe vera, in sunny places with bright light, as light is very important for the continuation of the life of the trees, as well as for obtaining good growth for the trees.
As the light is very important to complete the process of photosynthesis in which the plant uses the energy that the plant derives from the light that reaches the mechanism in the representation of carbon dioxide + water in the building of carbohydrates from which the rest of the other nutrients necessary for the life of the plant are created and in obtaining good and excellent growth for trees.
Calocedrus decurrens suitable soil
Ornamental trees, such asCalocedrus decurrens, must be planted in fertile, well-drained soil, free of harmful salts, as they are very sensitive to salinity, whether soil salinity or irrigation water salinity.
Ornamental trees, such as Calocedrus decurrens, should also be planted in a soil that is neutral in acidity and alkalinity, where the soil pH should be between approximately 5.5-6.5.
Uses of Calocedrus decurrens
