DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Schinus molle thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It can tolerate dry conditions but benefits from occasional watering. The tree does well in environments with moderate humidity and should be protected from frost. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages healthy growth.Bodem
The Peruvian pepper tree prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in soil that is not too compact. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season to support healthy growth. Fertilize sparingly, as the tree does not require heavy feeding.Verpotten
Young trees can be repotted every 2-3 years to accommodate their growing root system. When repotting, choose a container that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure good drainage. Repotting is best done in the spring.Voortplanting
Schinus molle can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown in well-draining soil and kept moist until germination. Cuttings can be taken from semi-hardwood branches and rooted in a suitable growing medium.Snoeien
Pruning is essential to maintain the shape and health of the tree. Prune during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased branches and to shape the tree. Regular pruning encourages new growth and prevents the tree from becoming too leggy.Toxiciteit
Schinus molle is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The berries and leaves contain compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress and other symptoms. Handle with care and keep away from children and pets.Aanvullend
Schinus molle is often used in landscaping for its ornamental value and ability to provide shade. It is also known for its resistance to pests and diseases, making it a relatively low-maintenance tree once established.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
