소엽잣나무 씨앗

Soil type: Prefers well-drained, acidic to slightly neutral soils; sandy loam or loamy textures are ideal.

Watering frequency: Moderate; water deeply during dry periods but avoid waterlogging. Once established, drought-tolerant.

Light exposure: Full sun is essential; ensure at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Temperature requirements: Thrives in 10–30°C (50–86°F); young trees may tolerate brief frost down to –5°C (23°F).

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring for best growth. Avoid excess nitrogen.

Pruning: Minimal pruning needed; remove dead or damaged branches in late winter. Shape only if necessary.

Common pests: Generally pest-resistant; watch for aphids, bark beetles, or fungal infections in humid climates.

Other practices: Provide ample space for canopy development. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
