Culture methods of Begonia Plum Blossom

Begonia and plum blossom are two kinds of flowers belonging to different genera of the same family, and the culture methods of begonia plum blossom are similar, so it is necessary to choose soil with loose soil, good drainage and sufficient nutrients to ensure sufficient light during culture period and proper shade in summer. Watering according to the degree of dryness and wetness of the soil to keep the soil slightly moist, and pruning dead and diseased branches after defoliation. Crabapple flowers apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in autumn and organic liquid fertilizer in spring. Rarefied liquid fertilizer can be used during the growth of plum blossoms.

The difference between begonia and plum blossom

Begonia and plum blossom are very similar, both of them are of great ornamental value, and it is difficult to distinguish them when they are not in bloom, because they are different genera of the same family. Begonia belongs to the genus papaya of Rosaceae, while plum blossom belongs to apricot of Rosaceae.

The main results are as follows: 1. the difference of growth morphology: the branches and stems of begonia grow in multiple plants, while the plum blossoms grow in a single plant.

2. The difference in the characteristics of branches: small thorns can be seen on the branches of begonia, while plum blossom branches are thornless.

3. The difference in growth height: begonia is relatively short, generally growing to about 1-2 meters, while the plant height of plum blossoms is usually about 5-10 meters, which is much higher than that of begonia.

4. The difference between the morning and evening of flowering: begonia sprouts first on the branches, then leaves, and then blossoms, while plum blossoms blossom on the branches first, and then sprouts after the flowers fall.

5, the color difference of flowers: begonia blossoms in early spring, the colors are scarlet, peach, moon white and other colors, while plum blossoms blossom at the end of winter, the colors are white, red, pink, cyan and other colors.

6. Petal difference: the petals of begonia are relatively thick and have a waxy feeling on the petals, while the petals of plum blossoms are relatively thinner than those of begonia.

7. The difference in flower shape: begonia is close to the branches when it blossoms, while plum blossoms grow into stems when they blossom.

8. Fruit difference: the fruit of begonia is wrinkled papaya, while the fruit of plum blossom is plum.

II. Culture methods of crabapple flowers

1. Select soil

It is suitable to choose soil culture with loose soil and strong drainage, and family potted plants can choose peat soil, rotten leaf soil and river sand mixed with culture.

2. Timely watering

The crabapple flower is relatively resistant to drought, and the soil in the basin can not have excess water, as long as the soil is slightly moist, but the soil should not be too dry, which will lead to its rhizome unable to breathe and prone to dryness. When the lack of water is serious, the plant will die, so it can be watered every 3-5 days in spring, 1-2 days in summer and 4-6 days in autumn. It can be watered every 15 days in winter.

3. Sufficient light

The crabapple flower needs plenty of sunlight during its growth. If the sunshine time is relatively short, it will affect its healthy growth. In the hot and hot weather in summer, it needs proper shading to avoid sun exposure, and the temperature is low in winter. It can give it plenty of light.

4. Rational fertilization

The leaves of begonia flowers will fall in autumn. at this stage, more fertilization should be carried out, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied, and fully mature organic liquid fertilizer should be applied when flower buds grow in spring. In the vigorous growth stage of begonia flowers, fertilizer concentration can be increased appropriately.

5. Pruning branches and leaves

The begonia flower should prune its branches and leaves properly from defoliation to germination, during which the withered and diseased branches can be trimmed off, while the overgrown branches should be cut short.

Third, the culture method of plum blossom

1. Select soil

It is suitable to choose the soil with loose soil, good drainage and sufficient nutrients for aquaculture. Pastoral soil, rotten leaf soil, river sandy soil and a small amount of organic fertilizer can be selected, or nutritious soil can be used directly.

2. Sufficient light

The plum blossom needs to be cultured in a place with good light, and it is necessary to ensure that it receives about 6 hours of light every day, but the light in summer is too strong, so it is necessary to take relative shading measures to keep the plum blossom in a semi-overcast environment. to avoid damage to plum blossoms caused by direct light.

3. Watering and fertilization

During the growth period, the soil can be watered according to the degree of dryness and wetness of the soil, so that the soil is in a slightly moist state, not too moist, fertilization should be carried out in a small amount and many times, and a small amount of thin liquid fertilizer can be used. Do not apply too much fertilizer during this period.

4. Pruning branches and leaves

Proper pruning of branches and leaves of plum blossoms is beneficial to promote the growth and flowering of plum blossoms. during this period, the branches and leaves of plant dysplasia, overgrowth, diseased branches and leaves, and residual flowers after flowering can be pruned in time, so as to reduce the loss of plant nutrients. Disinfection should be done after pruning to prevent plant infection.
