Weave your story with Ilex latifolia

Future mail

Why don't you face yourself and write a letter for the future in the calm atmosphere of SBC?
You can write a letter and express your feelings to anyone/anytime.
The letters you write will be kept in SBC.
We will deliver your thoughts to the future.

Ilex latifolia tree

Put your thoughts on the Ilex latifolia tree, which is a symbol of SBC.

Would you like to grow the message tree together?

We will build relationships that transcend generations and positions of present students, alumni, teachers, local people, and those involved.

We are always looking for parents to raise Ilex latifolia.

Flower

Around the Ilex latifolia tree, we will grow flowers that will be the pressed flowers that decorate the letters. We hold an event to plant flowers on January 14th every year and create SBC with you.

How to grow cuttings of Ilex latifolia

Pay attention to the following when you grow the cuttings of Ilex latifolia.

Spread pearlite on the bottom of the pot to improve drainage of the bottom.
On top of that, use Akadama soil to improve water retention.
Apply a rooting agent to the cut end of the branch to promote root growth
Plant so that it is inserted into Akadama soil
Water the beans to prevent them from drying out
It ’s even better to give an activator called “Menedael”
