CARE GUIDE

How to keep Pinus Fenzeliana.

Water

When you plant a new Hainan white pine, water it twice a day during hot weather. It's best to avoid watering at midday to prevent the roots from burning. Once the Hainan white pine matures, it only needs water when the soil is dry. If you have an indoor potted Hainan white pine, mist its leaves twice daily when they are dry. Be careful not to overwater, as this can cause the roots to rot and the plant to wilt.

Pruning

For indoor potted Hainan white pine, start by removing any dead or damaged branches. Then, prune the plant to shape it properly before needle loss occurs in order to enhance its growth and form. In gardens, focus on pruning dense lateral branches to encourage vertical growth. Be sure to remove any diseased parts right away to prevent the spread of disease.
