Instructions d'entretien

The Katsura tree thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers indirect bright light. It requires evenly moist soil and benefits from high humidity. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods. The tree is relatively easy to care for but does require some attention to its watering and light needs.

Sol

Cercidiphyllum japonicum prefers loamy soil that is well-draining yet retains moisture. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral for optimal growth.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the tree in early spring and again in mid-summer to support its growth. Avoid over-fertilizing as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of root development.

Rempotage

As a large tree, the Katsura is not typically repotted. However, young trees can be transplanted to a more suitable location if necessary. Ensure the new location has similar soil and light conditions to minimize transplant shock.

Propagation

The Katsura tree can be propagated through seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown in the fall, while cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer. Ensure the cuttings are kept in a humid environment until they establish roots.

Taille

Pruning is required to maintain the shape and health of the tree. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches to promote healthy growth.

Toxicité

Cercidiphyllum japonicum is not toxic to pets or humans. All parts of the tree are considered safe, making it a good choice for gardens and landscapes where pets and children are present.

Supplémentaire

The Katsura tree is known for its pleasant, sweet fragrance in the fall, often compared to burnt sugar or caramel. This makes it a delightful addition to any garden or landscape.
