DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Melia volkensii requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers environments with moderate humidity. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings. The tree is best suited for outdoor growth in tropical climates.Bodem
The Melia tree prefers well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soils with moderate nutrient concentration. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the tree during the growing season to support its development. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the tree.Verpotten
Repotting is generally not necessary for Melia volkensii as it is typically grown outdoors. However, if grown in a container, repot the tree every few years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth.Voortplanting
Melia volkensii can be propagated from seeds. Collect seeds from mature fruits and sow them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist until germination occurs. Propagation is best done at the beginning of the growing season.Snoeien
Pruning is required to maintain the shape and health of the Melia tree. Prune during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased branches and to shape the tree. Regular pruning helps promote healthy growth.Toxiciteit
Melia volkensii is toxic to pets and humans. All parts of the tree, especially the seeds, contain toxic compounds that can cause severe gastrointestinal distress if ingested. Handle with care and keep away from children and pets.Aanvullend
Melia volkensii is a valuable tree in agroforestry systems due to its fast growth and high-quality timber. It also provides shade and can improve soil fertility through leaf litter. Ensure the tree is planted in a location where it has enough space to grow to its full size.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
