Although the flowers that bloom in the cold winter are very strong, there are many places to pay attention to in the process of conservation. It is best to plant it in the yard. If flower lovers who have no conditions can only choose potted plants, it is recommended to use flowerpots with good water permeability, such as pottery pots and plastic pots with drainage holes, instead of porcelain pots. Because the root system of Chimonanthus praecox grows very fast, it is necessary to change pots frequently according to the growth of plants. Not changing pots in time will inhibit the growth of plants and is not conducive to the opening of flowers. Choosing to plant in the yard is the best choice, and it is best to raise it in the open air if possible.
Chimonanthus praecox likes fertile soil, so rational fertilization is very important. In the dry season like summer, we should also pay attention to watering and replenishing water in time. In addition, Chimonanthus praecox also needs pruning to keep its good shape and increase its ornamental value. Let's focus on how to prune wintersweet.
1. The first step is plastic surgery.
In order to have a more harmonious appearance, it is necessary to trim the long branches and dead branches of Chimonanthus praecox. There are also fast-growing branches, that is, too dense branches, which should be pruned reasonably to prevent these branches from growing too densely in the coming year, which is not conducive to the growth of buds and the opening of flowers. The last one is to cross branches and cut off one or all of them to prevent the stunting of wintersweet.
2. The second step is to wipe the bud.
During the growth and development of Chimonanthus praecox, there will inevitably be too dense buds on a piece of paper. In order to make every leaf bud absorb enough nutrients, some buds should be discarded. In order to be more beautiful, those that grow inward or whose leaves are closer to the ground also need to be removed.
3. The third step is pruning before flowering.
When the buds on the branches of Chimonanthus praecox develop into flower buds, we should pay attention to some branches without buds In order to reduce the consumption of nutrients, such branches need pruning, because it has no effect on the flowering of Chimonanthus praecox and affects the appearance. At the same time, if dead branches are found, they will also be pruned. Be very careful in the process of pruning to avoid touching the flower buds.
_4. The fourth step is pruning after flowering
Pruning of Chimonanthus praecox after flowering is for better secondary growth of branches. Branchlets, dead branches and excessively long branches must be pruned. If a friend who raises Chimonanthus praecox doesn't want to keep seeds, he can pinch off all the flowers, reduce the consumption of nutrients, and let more nutrients be transported to all branches, which is conducive to the thickening of branches and the opening of more flowers in the coming year.
