Live selection of coarse sand, but in use before washing several times with water, saline-alkali areas of river sand or do not use, not easy to plant growth.

II. Cuttings

In early spring, or late autumn, to choose the noon temperature does not exceed 28℃, the night temperature is not lower than 15℃ days, in late spring to early autumn when the temperature is higher, cuttings are extremely rotten, it is best not to carry out cuttage.

III. Cutting Methods

Cut the branches with 3-4 leaves, dry the wound in the shade,(pay attention not to be stabbed when operating) cut in the soil, and then spray the branches wet. As long as the soil is not too dry or wet, the plant will soon be able to grow roots.

IV. Maintenance after cuttage

1, cuttage a plant does not need to be on the pot, if the cuttage several plants need to move the seedlings to the pot. When the plant grows 2-3 leaves, uproot the plant and plant it in a flowerpot. Then put the pot in the shade for maintenance. The goal is to adapt the plants to the new environment as quickly as possible.

2, 2-3 weeks can be, can be placed in the sun to maintain the plant, try to keep the environment well ventilated. Watering should pay attention to, spring and autumn two seasons, pot soil is not dry do not irrigate, appropriate watering, usually 3-4 days irrigation once. Do not water too much during flowering, otherwise it is easy to cause falling flowers and rotten roots. Summer temperatures are higher and water can be poured once a day. Tiger thorn plum small plant is also very strong, as long as the long leaves take root, and normal plant maintenance is good.

3, fertilization should start from late May, according to the size of the plant type, appropriate fertilization, to meet its growth needs. If the fertilizer is supplemented in time, the tiger thorn plum will grow up quickly and bloom in 2-3 years!

How does the tiger prune its branches?

1. Time

After flowering 6-7 months, the diseased branches, long branches, thin branches will be cut off, pruned branches, flower friends can be used as cuttings, propagation of new tiger thorn plum pot.

2, pruning method

Tiger thorn plum seedlings: pruning should be based on the early formation of skeleton, but pruning should not be too much. When the seedling grows to 10 cm, part of the top branch can be cut off to promote lateral branches. Later, when the lateral branches grow to a certain height, the top of the branch can be cut off again to promote lateral branches again to form basic backbone branches.

When the seedlings have grown 4-5 branches, you can shape the seedlings, bind them into spheres, or flower screens, or flower baskets, etc., and properly pull and bind the branches to make them directional development. It is difficult to shape them after this period of time.

Formed tiger thorn plum: In addition to individual prominent damage to the formation of branches, generally can be lightly cut or not trimmed, just pay attention to the appropriate twist shaping can be. If you still want to let the branches send out new branches, you can bend the branches in the opposite direction and bundle them, and soon you will grow new branches in the bundle.

Why does the tiger not bloom?

Tiger thorn plum likes sunny environment, need to ensure adequate sunshine all year round, otherwise it is easy to lead to only long leaves do not bloom phenomenon. If you want to let the tiger thorn plum blossom, light is necessary, but sometimes the weather is rainy, you can choose to use fluorescent lamps.

2. Water and fertilizer problems

Tiger thorn plum drought tolerance, pot soil to dry is appropriate, excessive water caused by excessive branches long. The fertilizer requirements are not strict, but the phosphorus and potassium fertilizer required for flowering is necessary. If there is a lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and too much nitrogen fertilizer, the plant will not flower. Therefore, before flowering, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, properly control fertility, and have sufficient nutrients.

3, pruning problem

If you want more flowers, you must give them proper pruning, increase the number of new branches, fewer branches, fewer flowers. It is best to cut short thin and irregular branches in June to July of each year, so that two branches will grow at the cut, and when the branches grow to 5 to 6 cm, they can bloom.

How to control the tiger thorn plum blossom period

I. Environmental control

1, about water fertilization: during the growth period, provide sufficient water and appropriate fertilizer, will make its flowering ahead of schedule. During its flowering period, by adjusting the humidity of the soil, so that it moderate, you can make it bloom constantly.

2. About temperature: Do not put tiger thorn plum outdoors in winter. Long time low temperature will prolong flowering period. If the temperature is kept above 15℃, the purpose of early flowering and continuous flowering can be achieved to a certain extent.

II. Technical control

1, growth regulators: for the regulation of flowering, plant growth agents are the most effective way. The regulation purpose can be achieved by using gibberellin commonly sold in the market. The flower buds are smeared with gibberellin once every two days. The smearing days are determined according to the flowering period to be regulated. Generally, the flowering period can be advanced by 50 days after about 40 days of treatment.

2, pruning branches and leaves: Tiger thorn plum can bloom, basically according to the nutrient content required by the plant, as long as the ratio of nutrients is greater than other minerals can continue to bloom. Therefore, timely pruning of over-dense leaves and old leaves, so that nutrients concentrated in the bud, but also can have a certain effect of regulating flowering.
