Culture methods and matters needing attention of bonsai plum blossom

I. Culture methods and attention of bonsai plum blossoms

1. Soil

Although the plum blossom is not very strict to the soil, we should also choose the soil with loose and fertile texture, and do not often irrigate in the bonsai, the excess water root is very difficult to absorb, the drainage is not convenient, and the root is easy to rot. There is a special soil for cultivating plum blossoms on the market.

2. Temperature

Plum blossom blossoms in winter, which is the most vigorous season for its growth. although it is not afraid of the cold, it does not mean that it does not need light. if the light is not enough, it will slow down photosynthesis, will not develop well, and will blossom less. It likes to be moist, so if you put it in the house, keep it ventilated.

3. Humidity

If the plum blossom is still growing, water it properly. If it is hot in summer, spray water around it to ensure the humidity it needs. It usually needs to be watered two or three times a day in summer, and it is relatively rare in spring and autumn, as long as once or twice. In winter, as long as it is dry in the basin, it is rewatered.

4. Fertilization

Plum blossom is full of vitality, so you don't need to take care of it often, and don't fatten it from time to time. If winter is coming, fatten it before it blossoms. If it is going to blossom, fatten it once before. If you plan to plant a new plum blossom, you should first prepare basic fertilizer, which is the basic condition to ensure its healthy growth.

5. Repair.

Repairing the plum blossom has many advantages. First of all, the ornamental value of the plum blossom is stronger, and secondly, the nutrients will not be wasted, otherwise the remaining branches and leaves will be separated from the nutrients needed by the branches. So we have to remove these withered leaves and branches, if the plum blossom grows a lot of branches, we also have to cut some, so that nutrition can be used where it should be used.

6. Insect pests.

The plum blossom seldom grows pests, but it does not rule out the fact that it has insect pests. If your plum blossom is unfortunately eroded by insect pests, you can spray pesticides, but you must pay attention to the proportion of the solution, otherwise the plum blossom itself will be hurt and its petals will turn yellow. if the flower is sprayed to death by you, the loss will outweigh the gain.

7. Disease

If the plum blossom suffers from a disease, the most common symptom is that the leaves turn yellow and the whole tree looks lethargic. You first observe whether there are insect pests, if not, it is a disease, you can spray it with some nutrient solution, do not need to sprinkle every day, once every 7 days for about 30 days will be effective. And the weight is not too much, make sure that the flowers are contaminated everywhere.

II. Points for attention

When the weather is too hot in summer, you can't let it be exposed to the sun. It should be protected properly.
