Choice of pots: Meijun's pots are elegant, which can set off each other and add ornamental value. However, it is best to plant plum blossoms in ordinary pottery pots and cover them with elegant flowerpots when the plants bloom. Because earthen pots are beneficial to the growth of plum roots, antique porcelain pots or purple sand pots are slightly inferior.
Watering: In winter and spring, plum blossoms don't need much water. Except that the basin soil is slightly wet at flowering stage, the basin soil is kept slightly wet and dry at other stages. In summer and autumn, plum blossoms need water most, so they should be watered dry. However, from June to July, flower buds began to differentiate. During this period, it is necessary to "control the water" of plum blossoms several times, that is, reduce watering to make the leaves of plum blossoms slightly curly and then water them, so that plum blossoms can bloom better.
Fertilization: Meihua likes to fertilize, but it should be fertilized in a timely and appropriate manner. From late spring to early Zhixia, dilute liquid fertilizer was applied every 65,438+00 days. From late winter to early spring, when plum blossom buds begin to grow obviously until they are transparent, dilute liquid fertilizer should be applied every five days to make plum blossoms colorful and fragrant.
Lighting: The place where it is placed is sunny, and the plum blossoms grow vigorously and have many flowers. On the contrary, plants grow slowly and flower buds differentiate less. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that potted plum blossoms receive 4 to 6 hours of sunlight every day. During the flowering period of plum blossom, especially after its buds begin to swell, it is beneficial to receive direct sunlight for several hours every day. When you visit bloom, you should put it in a bright place, not in direct sunlight, or the flowers will soon wither.
Pruning: In order to make plum blossom have beautiful tree shape and vigorous growth potential, annual pruning is essential. Prunus mume should be pitted in the vigorous growth season, only to make it grow to a height of 20-30 cm. At the same time, it is necessary to cut off new buds from the rootstock at any time and cut off weak branches and internal branches in time. In addition, the budding tillers should be removed from the rootstock at any time. Prune plum blossoms after flowering, leaving only 3 ~ 5 buds at the base of each branch. In spring, when the branches sprout, they should be thinned, so that nutrients can be distributed reasonably and plum blossoms can grow more beautifully and sturdily.
