Both plum orchard soil and peat soil can be cultivated, but saline-alkali soil cannot be selected for cultivation. The growth and development of plum blossom is poor, so sandy soil with good air permeability can be selected, which is beneficial to promote the growth of plum blossom.
Too much watering will cause water in the basin, leading to plum blossom root rot. So we should pay attention to controlling the amount of water. Water can be poured 1 time every 3-5 days to keep the soil in the basin moist. In winter, the amount of watering should be reduced, and the soil in the basin should be kept dry, so that plants can survive the winter safely.
Plum blossoms need fertilization in both growth and bud stage, so as to provide them with sufficient nutrients and promote the better growth of plants. During this period, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied every 7- 10 days, and then phosphorus fertilizer can be applied in the bud stage of Prunus mume, which is beneficial to the beautiful flowering of Prunus mume.

Matters needing attention in plum blossom planting
1, coring and pruning
When the plum blossom grows to 4-6 leaves, it needs to be pitted to make it grow more lateral branches. During this period, it should not exceed 3 times. Plum blossoms need pruning after they bloom. During this period, the flowering branches can be pruned to avoid excessive nutrient consumption, which leads to poor growth of the flowers of Sijimei.
2. Control pests and diseases
Common diseases and insect pests of plum blossom include rust, leaf rot, root knot nematode disease and so on. These diseases and insect pests will damage branches and leaves, and even cause plants to wither and die. Therefore, zineb wettable powder, Weixiuling wettable powder and dibromochloropropane emulsifiable concentrate can be sprayed in time for control.
