Although the ginkgo is quite robust and easy to care for, it does not make great demands on the soil, but it does have some preferences. Plant it in a suitable location and it will thank you with health and good growth.
The ginkgo likes it light and sunny
What does a ginkgo need to feel good?
If the ginkgo is still young, it prefers a partially shaded location, but later full sun. With some bushes nearby, you can shade the young ginkgo a bit. It does more or less well in almost any soil, but thrives best in slightly moist, well-drained and deep soil.
The ginkgo is not particularly suitable as a houseplant, but can be cultivated in a pot or bucket on the balcony. Here, too, it prefers a sunny location.
The essentials in brief:
- initially semi-shady
- later sunny
- copes well with (almost) all soils
- ideal: slightly moist, well-drained and deep soil
tips
Remember that the ginkgo grows quite large over the course of its long life and give it enough space.
