The cultivation methods and precautions of North American holly were as follows: ** 1. Cultivation Method ** 1. ** Soil ** - Loose and fertile sandy soil should be selected. Garden soil, humus soil, and peaty soil could be used in a ratio of 1:1:1, or loose and fertile decayed leaf soil could be used for cultivation. 2. ** Watering ** - The North American holly preferred a moist environment, so it was necessary to stick to the principle of watering when it was dry and wet to avoid accumulating water. It originally grew beside swamps and required a lot of fertilizer and water, but it was also resistant to poverty. However, long-term cultivation in poor soil would affect the quality of the fruits. You can use some NPK compound fertilizer every three months, and you can also add nutrients when watering, which will make it grow better. 3. ** Light ** - North American holly loves light and should be cultivated in a place with good lighting. It can be placed on an indoor balcony to receive sufficient scattered light. If one wanted to bear bright red fruits, sufficient scattered light was a necessary condition. In the plateau area, it was necessary to pay attention to the time when it was exposed to sunlight to avoid "big exposure". 4. ** Temperatures ** - North American holly was very cold-resistant. It would not freeze to death even at-20 to-30 degrees Celsius. Large North American holly trees could be kept outdoors in the north. However, if it was a potted North American holly, the temperature management would be different from that of a field holly. 5. ** Fertility ** - North American holly bears fruit for a long time, has a short flowering cycle, and requires a lot of nutrients. He could apply more long-term slow-release fertilizers such as sheep dung and eggs to the bottom of the soil. He could also use a fertilizer such as monobium phosphorus to increase the time of fruit bearing and improve the quality of flowers. Basal fertilizer, phosphorous and potash fertilizer, and natural manure fertilizer could also be used, but the fertilizer cycle should be paid attention to to avoid excessive or insufficient fertilizer. ** 2. Points to note ** 1. ** Choice of planting method ** - There were two ways to grow holly in North America: on the ground and in pots. Once you choose one of the methods, you should be faithful to it. For example, if you choose to plant it in the soil, you can't move it to the flower pot, and vice versa. If you choose to plant it on land, it's best to start planting in spring to ensure that it grows healthily under suitable temperature, humidity, and other conditions. If they were planted in cold winters or hot summers, their chances of survival would decrease. 2. ** Fruit related ** - The fruit could be stored for up to six to seven months. Even after the flowering period, the fruit would not fall easily. During the breeding process, attention should be paid to providing sufficient light, temperature, fertilizer, and other conditions to ensure the quality of the fruit.
