How to prune 1 and the pruning method after flowering of red plum?
When pruning flowering red plums, the residual flowers and dead branches should be cut off, which is beneficial to reduce the loss of redundant nutrients of plants and prevent the residual flowers from affecting the ornamental value of red plums. However, after pruning the branches and leaves, apply carbendazim to the wound to avoid infection and decay.
2. Lighting conditions
Hongmei likes light. If left in a dark environment for a long time, it may grow poorly. It is necessary to provide all-weather illumination to promote photosynthesis. In summer, when the illumination is too strong, black cloth can be used to block part of the light.
3. Fertilization management
Red plum has a high demand for nutrients, and it is fertilized every 15 days during the growing period to promote the rapid growth of plants. Applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering can improve the ornamental value of flowers and prolong the flowering period. Pay attention to diluted liquid fertilizer when applying fertilizer.
4. Temperature environment
Red plum is suitable for growing in a warm environment, and it needs to provide a temperature environment above 20 degrees when cultivating. When the temperature is above 30 degrees in summer, it should be placed in a ventilated place to cool down. In winter, the plants can be moved indoors to help the red plum survive the winter.
