Pruning methods of butterfly plum

Butterflies and plum blossoms are brightly colored. They are usually sown in March-April and blossom in June-October. Today, I would like to introduce the pruning method of butterfly plum.

First, the pruning method of butterfly plum

Usually when the butterfly plum blossom bud is just differentiated, it is necessary to cut off all the weaker buds it grows and retain the buds on the main branch. In addition, after pruning, an appropriate amount of fertilizer can be applied to help butterflies blossom.

Second, the growth habits of butterfly plum

Butterfly plum is cold-resistant, cool and sunny, and develops well under the conditions of day temperature 15-25 ℃ and night temperature 3-5 ℃.

It avoids high temperature and stagnant water, cold and frost resistant. if the day temperature is more than 30 ℃, the flower bud disappears or does not form petals; when the day temperature lasts 25 ℃, it only blossoms but does not bear fruit, even if it is fruiting, the seed is also underdeveloped. The root system can tolerate the low temperature of-15 ℃, but the frozen edge of the leaf turns yellow when it is lower than-5 ℃.

The influence of sunshine length on flowering is greater than that of light intensity, poor sunshine and poor flowering. The pH of neutral loam or clay loam which is fertile, well drained and rich in organic matter is 5.4-7.4. It is a perennial flower, often cultivated as a biennial plant.

Third, the flowering period of butterfly plum

The normal flowering period of butterfly plum is from June to October, and its flowering time is 5 months, but if it is cultivated well, it can blossom all the year round. Therefore, the length of florescence has a lot to do with the way of maintenance.

Butterfly plum in the courtyard layout is often planted on the flower bed, can be used as felt flower bed, flower bed, into a piece, thread, round edge planting is very suitable.
