Litchi chinensis

Litchi chinensis I like the article

Exposure Litchi chinensisPosizione mezza ombra
Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can receive the sunrays during the coolest hours of the day. During the winter young plants could need a light protection from the wind or cold; when putting the very young specimens, with a thin stem, in shelter, we should provide them with a high stake to keep them erect.The Litchi chinensis usually doesn't have temperature problems during this time of year, because it can bear freezings although not too intense ones.

Generalities Litchi chinensis
The Litchi chinensis develops growing in height, and develops a bare stem, creating a thick crown. This plant in the winter assumes a pinkwhite colouring; it is large in size and can reach 20 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Litchi chinensis develops like a tree.

Fertilization Litchi chinensis
Trees tend to find a great part of nutrients in the soil, because their roots spread more than ten metres; in any case it is advisable to feed the soil with amendants, to guarantee a good quantity of mineral salts; every 2-3 years, in the spring or autumn, we suggest adding to the soil at the feet of the trunk, about a bucket of mature organic fertilizer.

Watering Litchi chinensisTenere Umido
We suggest watering pretty often and regularly, with 2-3 buckets of water ; we should always wait for the soil to be clearly dry between one watering and the other. During this time of year usually it is necessary to irrigate every 2-3 weeks . The young specimens, recently sheltered, need more cures compared to the adult specimens: as the years go by the development of a good radical apparatus allows the plant to be satisfied with the rain, without needing other waterings.
