Growing potted hawthorn requires special attention to soil, potting, lighting, moisture and fertilization requirements. Here we will focus on the planting and maintenance methods of potted hawthorn.

1. How to plant potted hawthorn trees

1. Soil

Choose to plant potted hawthorn trees in spring. Use loose, fertile, neutral or slightly acidic soil with good air permeability and drainage, and mix humus soil and sandy soil in a ratio of 7:3. Use fungicide to sterilize the soil and prepare it for potting.

2. Potting

Potted hawthorn trees should be potted in autumn. At this time, the climate is mild and the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to increasing the survival rate of potted hawthorn trees.

Plant healthy seedlings and prune their roots before planting. Put a small amount of nutrient soil in the pot, then put the seedlings into the soil, maintain a stretched root system, fill the pot with surrounding soil and compact it, and water it thoroughly at one time. It can be placed in a location with scattered sunlight, and after about a week, place it in a location with sufficient sunlight.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Water

Hawthorn is drought tolerant and requires less water. Just keep plenty of water in spring and autumn. In summer, the temperature is high and water evaporates quickly. Pay attention to keeping the soil moist. Be careful not to water too much to avoid water logging problems. In winter, when the temperature is low, the amount of watering should be reduced, and the soil should be mainly dry.

2. Fertilization

Hawthorn pot cultivation does not require much fertilizer, so you should avoid using too much fertilizer, which may cause fertilizer accumulation problems. During its growth period, dilute nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used, and fertilization is carried out every 15 days. After entering the flowering period, dilute phosphate and potash fertilizers can be used. Reduce the amount of fertilizer applied in autumn. The temperature difference between summer and winter is large, which affects the effect of fertilization, so fertilization is not necessary.

3. Light

Hawthorn pot cultivation requires sufficient light conditions. Pay attention to maintaining normal lighting hours in spring and autumn. Avoid direct sunlight in summer. When the temperature is low in winter, it can be cultured indoors.

Through our introduction, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of how to grow potted hawthorn trees.
