Is pine and red plum easy to raise? cultivation methods and matters needing attention of pine and red plum

Songhong plum is a kind of evergreen shrub, which is a new variety introduced in recent years, and its distribution is relatively small in China. The flowers of Songhongmei are small but exquisite, with high ornamental value, and are deeply loved by flower friends after being introduced into our country. Many flower friends do not have a thorough understanding of this plant, and there are always all kinds of problems in the process of breeding. Let's learn it together with the editor.

Is pine and red plum easy to raise?

Soil: Songhongmei is not strict with the soil, but it needs to control the pH value of the soil and the acid soil.

Temperature: Songhongmei prefers cool, moist and sunny environment, and the suitable temperature for growth is 18 ℃-25 ℃. It is required to keep the temperature above-1 ℃ in winter, which can survive the winter safely.

Watering: breeding Song Hongmei needs to keep the soil moist at ordinary times, too dry will lead to withered leaves of Song Hongmei. Pay attention to drainage in the rainy season to avoid long-term accumulation of water in the soil, otherwise it will also cause rotten roots.

Illumination: Songhongmei should be given sufficient sunshine in other seasons except summer, and should not be placed in too shady place for a long time. Pine red plum is afraid of high temperature and hot sun exposure, long-term high temperature and hot sun exposure will lead to pine red plum leaf burns and local water loss, shading measures should be done in summer, pine red plum can be maintained in a cool and ventilated place in summer, and often sprinkle water to cool down.

Pruning: Songhongmei needs to be pruned carefully after flowering every year, in order to dwarf the crown, maintain the beautiful shape of the tree, and promote the plant to sprout new flowering branches. When pruning, it should be noted that except for some branches that affect the plant type can be completely cut off, other branches can not be completely cut off, generally cut off half or 2/3.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of pine and red plum

I. Culture methods

1. Soil

Songhongmei is not strict to the soil, but it grows best in the slightly acidic soil which is rich in humus, loose and fertile, and well drained.

2. Watering

Pine red plum likes a humid environment and can withstand drought. Usually maintain as long as keep the soil moist, pay attention to drainage during the rainy season to avoid soil water. Keep the soil slightly wet and dry in winter, not too wet.

3. Temperature

Pine red plum likes cool, moist and sunny environment, the suitable growth temperature is 18 ℃-25 ℃, and the temperature should be kept above-1 ℃ in winter.

4. Fertilization

During the growing period of Songhongmei, the mature dilute liquid fertilizer was applied every 1 to 2 months.

5. Lighting

Pine and red plums are afraid of high temperatures and hot sun, so they should be given plenty of sunshine in other seasons except in summer when they need to be kept in shade, shade or cool and ventilated places.

II. Matters needing attention in the culture of Songhongmei

1. Control the soil pH value.

When the soil is too alkaline, 5% ferrous sulfate solution should be used to improve the soil, and the pH value should be in the range of 6.5-7.0.

2. Prune at the right time

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.

How to plant pine and red plum seeds

1. Time

It is usually carried out in spring and autumn, and seldom sown in summer and winter.

2. Container

The general requirement is good drainage, preferably with holes at the bottom.

3. Matrix

The requirement is drainage, good air permeability and rich nutrients. You can choose peat soil or other soil that meets the requirements, and prepare some fine sand.

4. Seeds

Choose seeds that are full and round without damage or moth. Carry out the relevant treatment of sprouting, that is, put it in the refrigerator and other places to refrigerate, about two days will be fine. Note that the temperature does not need to be too low, about three degrees Celsius.

5. Specific methods

Put the selected matrix into the container, about ten centimeters. After that, the seeds are evenly mixed with the fine sand we have prepared, and then sprinkled into the container.

Then, it is to adjust some conditions. The first is moisture. In order to ensure humidity, we can spray some water on the soil. In addition, the temperature, it is better to keep it at about 18 to 25 degrees. Also, the light should not be too strong, and appropriate shading measures can be taken if it is too strong. Make sure that these factors are in the right state, wait about 25 days, and we can see it sprout.

Taboos of Pine and Red Plum Culture in Winter

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.

4. Low temperature can suspend all fertilization.

Although winter is in its flowering period, as long as the soil with sufficient nutrients is selected when planting and fertilizing during the growing period, there is no need to apply fertilizer during the flowering period.

The leaves of pine red plum are very similar to those of pine leaves, but the flowers are like red plum blossoms, hence the name. Although its breeding method is relatively easy, there are some daily management considerations that can not be ignored, such as indoor planting if it is planted in the north in winter.
