How to keep Cinnamomum Chekiangense.
Light
The Japanese cinnamon tends to thrive in locations that are shielded from intense light, prospering predominantly in zones where sunlight is largely diffused. This tree can sustain its health even when exposed to dim sunlight for sections of the day. This affinity for lesser light stems from its original forest habitat, where exposure to light was often limited. Both too much and too little light can hinder the progression of the plant's development.
Temperature
Japanese cinnamon typically originates from regions where the temperatures usually range between 50 and 90 °F (10 to 32 ℃). It flourishes in moderate climates, showing a predilection for this specific temperature interval.
Fertilizer
Encourage healthy development in your Japanese cinnamon by fertilizing it at the beginning of spring. Routine fertilization strengthens its overall well-being, contributing to robust growth, tolerance to harsh environments, and increased resistance to diseases and pests. Uphold a dedicated fertilization routine for your Japanese cinnamon to guarantee vibrant leaves of rich color and a dense look.
