Extended data

1. Keep the soil moist during planting. Fertilize 2-3 times during the growth period. Grafted seedlings should be picked from the rootstock in time. If the light is not strong, the leaves will turn green and not bright. Prune too long branches, and at the same time cut off too dense weak branches, diseased branches and dead branches to form a round crown.

2. Red-leaf plum likes to be fat, but it only needs to be applied once a year at the end of autumn, and it should be applied in moderation. Too many times of fertilization or too much fertilization will make the leaves dark and not bright, which will reduce the ornamental value.

3. Red-leaf plum should be watered in autumn, because watering will lead to long branches and freeze injury in winter.
