How to cut and propagate Songhongmei? how to fertilize Songhongmei?

Songhongmei is relatively rare in life, so many people are strange to Songhongmei. Songhongmei is a kind of shrub, which was introduced to China from abroad. Its flowers are similar to plum blossoms, but they are relatively small, and its leaves are very similar to pine leaves, so it is called Songhongmei. So do you know how to breed and maintain Songhongmei? Next, let's learn about it with the editor.

How to Cuttage Propagation of Prunus mume

1. The cutting time of Songhongmei

The propagation method of pine red plum is mainly cuttage propagation, which is mainly carried out in spring, which is more suitable for rooting and sprouting of pine red plum branches, and cutting in autumn is also possible.

2. The method of cutting

The depth of the cuttings is 1/3 to 1/2 of the cuttings. Pour water once after the cuttings are inserted.

Pay attention to maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity, and carry out proper shading, it can take root in about 35 murals and 45 days, and the survival rate of cutting can reach 75%. The steps of cutting in autumn are the same as those in spring, but the survival rate of cutting in autumn can reach 65%.

During the period of cutting, pay attention to weeding, fertilize as little as possible and apply thin liquid fertilizer.

When the height of the cutting seedlings reaches more than 10 cm and the number of branches reaches more than 3, the seedlings can be transferred to the pot.

How to fertilize Songhongmei

Songhongmei has a great demand for fertilizer, so the frequency of fertilization is relatively high. We need to apply fertilizer every two months or even a month. In addition to applying fertilizer on time, we should also remember to apply fertilizer every time we build branches. Besides, we usually need to keep the soil moist. Besides, we can't accumulate water during the rainy season. If the stagnant water will cause its normal growth situation to be affected, pay attention to drainage.

Matters needing attention in winter culture of pine and red plum

1. The winter temperature should not be lower than 1 degree below zero.

Its ability to keep out the cold is not strong, but it is impossible to maintain it outdoors in winter in the north, and it is impossible to survive even if it has taken measures to keep out the cold. Winter must be above minus 1 degree in order to survive the winter safely.

2. indispensable exposure to the sun

If the south is raised outdoors, there is no need to worry, but if the north is maintained indoors, it is necessary to choose a sunny location for display, except in summer, other periods need enough sunlight to survive and grow better.

3. Don't let the soil be too wet or dry in winter

The temperature in winter is already low, so the loss of water will be greatly reduced. If it is still watered normally, then the soil will be in a moist state for a long time, which is very disadvantageous to Songhongmei, but it does not mean that there is no need to water. Diseases can occur when they are too dry.

What about the loose red plum blossom and disperse

The flowering dispersion of pine red plum is mainly caused by untimely pruning, but pine red plum is resistant to pruning and has strong branching ability, which can be pruned from young plants to make it sprout new branches and control reasonable plant type. after 1 or 2 years, beautiful plant type can be achieved with large flowering quantity, dense branches and numerous flowers.

The purpose of planting Songhong plum is different, and there are differences in shaping and pruning.

If it is to provide cuttings, cuttings or seeds for reproduction, you should leave more long branches and less pruning. After flowering, you should not cut off the residual flowers but supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in order to bear fruit.

If the cultivation of Songhong plum is for ornamental use, it should be pruned in time and many times to cultivate a strong ornamental plant type, and pruned and fertilized after anthesis to achieve secondary flowering.

A careful pruning is carried out after flowering every year to achieve the purpose of dwarfing the crown, maintaining the beauty of the tree, and promoting the plant to sprout new flowering branches.

Through the above content, I believe you have a certain understanding of pine and red plum culture skills. Although Songhong plum is relatively rare in life, it can also be purchased in large flower markets or online. If you like, you can buy a pot of pine and red plum potted culture home, which is especially suitable for decoration.
