How do you cut the leaves of the flower?

Perhaps many people are very familiar with the crabapple flower, which is called the "four unique Chinese spring flowers" with plum blossoms, peonies and orchids. The crabapple flower is a little strange because it does not have a strong fragrance but is remarkable for its showy flowers. However, if you want the crabapple flowers to be more beautiful, you must pay attention to proper pruning in the planting process.

The method of pruning branches and leaves of crabapple flowers

1. Spring pruning

In spring, crabapple flowers begin to sprout new buds, which is that begonia flowers need a lot of nutrients, such as withered branches, weak branches, disease and insect branches, cross branches, stacked branches, excessive branches, etc., in order to promote the emergence of new buds and promote the growth of new buds.

2. Pruning after flower fade

The growth period of different varieties of crabapple flowers is different, according to the flowering period of begonia, the branches and leaves of crabapple flowers should be pruned two weeks after blooming. Cut off crowded branches and protruding branches. The long branch can be truncated to retain 3 to 4 buds from the base. This helps to increase the number of short branches that form flower buds.

3. Pruning after falling leaves

After the begonia flowers have fallen leaves, in order to better grow the crabapple flowers in the coming year and maintain nutrients in winter, as in spring, we should cut off the withered branches, weak branches, disease and insect branches, cross branches, stacked branches, excessive branches and so on. At the same time, we should pay attention to maintaining the overall shape of crabapple flowers.

What if the leaves of crabapple flowers turn yellow?

1. Control the amount of water pouring

If the young leaves on the crabapple turn yellow with the old leaves, it is mostly because of too much water, or the flowerpot is too wet caused by the rain. in this case, it is necessary to maintain the drainage of the flowerpot, control the amount of water, and try not to let the flowerpot have too much water.

2. Increase the illumination

If begonia is kept indoors in a cool place for a long time, it is easy to yellowing leaves without sunlight. Usually should be placed in the case of sunlight, and be careful not to let it be too strong direct sunlight.

3. Replenish water in time

The lower leaves of begonia become dry and yellow, which is generally caused by lack of water, so it is necessary to replenish water in time. It is necessary to control the amount of water when watering. Under normal circumstances, it is OK to keep the crabapple flowerpot moist.

4. Change the soil

If the soil is not suitable, the leaves of begonia will turn yellow, and the alkaline soil is not suitable for breeding begonia, so it is necessary to replace the acidic soil.

5. Proper fertilization

Fertilizer is the source of nutrition for plants, if the nutrition is not enough, it will cause begonia leaves to turn yellow, so you can fertilize properly during breeding, but be careful not to apply too much fertilizer.

Why don't begonia flowers bloom?

1. Poor lighting

Crabapple flowers like a sunny environment. Potted crabapple flowers are kept indoors in dark places for a long time, which will cause begonia flowers not to blossom. Because crabapple flowers do not appear buds in semi-shady or shady conditions, they will not bloom.

2. Poor ventilation

Begonia flowers like the wet environment, but when the indoor ventilation is not good, the moisture of the soil can not evaporate quickly, but when watering too much, the soil moisture can not be adjusted, which will lead to too much moisture, which will not blossom.

3. Too much or too little watering

Begonia flowers growing in a humid environment need to keep the pot soil wet, if too little watering can not meet the growth needs of begonia flowers, begonia flowers will not blossom. Too much watering can cause crabapple flowers not to blossom easily.

4. Single or excessive nutrients

Begonia flowers do not blossom is likely because fertilization is too single, crabapple flowers lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer; too much fertilization, especially too much nitrogen fertilizer will cause crabapple flowers to grow branches and leaves. You must remember to apply fertilizer when begonia flowers sprout in early spring and fall leaves in autumn.

How to water crabapple flowers

1. Spring

Spring is relatively dry, if the soil of crabapple flowers is white, it should be watered immediately, but we should also pay attention to the rationality of watering, too much will cause bacterial growth, but harmful to plant growth, usually watering once every two days or so.

2. Summer

The summer temperature is high, begonia flowers do not like heat, so the growth activity will be controlled, at this time the watering frequency should be reduced, roughly once every three or five days, but in order to prevent sunburn or overheating, remember to spray some water on the plant leaves.

3. Autumn

After entering autumn, the weather turns cool, begonia begins a new round of growth, this time needs adequate water supply, to maintain the soil moist degree, it is best to water once a day.

4. Winter

In winter, the temperature drops completely, begonia is likely to enter a dormant state at this stage, at this time, the amount of water needs to be reduced. It is appropriate to know that the soil dries, whitens, hardens and then water. Watering in winter is best done when the sun is at its best.

Although the begonia flower is not as dazzling as other flowers, its unique charm also attracts a lot of people. If you want to cultivate crabapple flowers well, in addition to proper pruning, you also need to understand its related habits and cultivate them reasonably.
