Are plum blossoms easy to grow?

Plum blossoms can be raised at home, and they will bloom after being raised. Of course, the following methods must be followed:

1. Plum blossoms are not strict on soil and can grow in general neutral soil. , but potted plum blossoms must use loose and fertile nutrient soil due to limited pot soil. The nutrient soil is prepared with 4 parts of edible residue, 4 parts of accumulated compost soil, and 2 parts of coal ash soil. Mix them evenly to make the culture medium. Change the soil once a year after flowering. After changing the pot, put it in a cool place for a week, and then transfer to normal maintenance.

2. Plum blossoms are sensitive to moisture. If the pot soil is too wet for a long time, it will easily cause root rot. Therefore, watering should be controlled. When the new branches grow to 20 cm, attention should be paid to controlling watering to control excessive elongation of new shoots and promote flower bud differentiation. However, water should be watered once a day in summer, water as needed in autumn to keep the soil moist, and water less in winter to make the soil dry.

3. Plum blossoms do not like big fertilizers. Plum blossoms need sufficient fertilizer and water when they sprout branches and leaves. Apply organic liquid fertilizer 1 to 2 times a month. When the new shoots grow to 5 cm, apply a thin layer of fertilizer to promote branch growth. In late summer and early autumn, apply decomposed cake fertilizer and water once, and add more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote the formation of flower buds. After the flower buds differentiate, spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1 to 2 times. Such layered scientific fertilization is beneficial to the growth of plum blossoms.

4. Pruning and shaping of plum blossoms Pruning and shaping of plum blossoms is a technical job. Pruning should start from the seedlings. When the seedlings grow to 20 to 25 cm, cut off the top. After germination, leave 3 to 5 branches as the main branches. When the main branches grow to 10 to 15 cm, top off to promote strong branches and flower buds. form.

5. To control plum blossom diseases and insect pests, ventilation and light must be maintained. Plum blossom diseases mainly come from anthracnose and leaf blight, which usually occur in late April or early May. They are controlled by spraying 50% carbendazim or 70% thiophanate dissolved 800 to 1000 times in exchange. Aphids cause a lot of damage every year. Spraying them with 500 times the solution of washing powder has obvious effects.

Extended information:

There are two types of plum blossoms: ground planting and potted planting:

1. Ground planting

Generally planted during the dormant period. The distance between rows is 4-5 meters. Base fertilizer should be applied to the planting holes. From now on, base fertilizer will be applied every winter. In spring, apply a flower-stimulating fertilizer before flowering and a tree-nurturing fertilizer after flowering.

2. Potted plants

Use loose, fertile, sandy loam rich in humus. Usually, the soil in the pot should be slightly dry. Apply dry cake fertilizer as base fertilizer after autumn. No more fertilization during the flowering period. Do not water fertilizer in winter, otherwise the flowering period will be shortened. Every 2-3 years, the pot should be changed to a larger size.
