Matters needing attention in pot planting of Songhong plum

1. Watering

Pine and red plum is not resistant to drought, so usually watering should be a little faster, but remember that there is no stagnant water in the basin, like water does not mean that the basin can accumulate water, otherwise it is easy to rot the roots.

two。 Temperature and light

Pine red plum prefers cool, moist and sunny environment, and the suitable temperature for growth is 18 ℃-25 ℃. Keep the temperature above-1 ℃ in winter, be afraid of high temperature and hot sun in summer, and give sufficient light in other seasons. Drought tolerance is strong, soil requirements are not strict, but the slightly acidic soil rich in humus, loose and fertile, good drainage is the best, avoid high temperature and humidity, but also strictly prevent poor drainage and long-term stagnant water.

3. Fertilizer application

Too much fertilizer makes it impossible for Songhong plum to absorb completely, and even these fertilizers may burn the roots of pine and red plum. After the root is burned, the development of the whole plant will stagnate. Therefore, it is possible to apply mature rarefied liquid fertilizer every 1 to 2 months during the general growth period.

4. Pruning

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. 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. In addition, a quick-acting inorganic fertilizer was applied after pruning to promote plant growth and ensure flowering in the second year.

The occurrence of diseases and insect pests in Songhongmei is less, so it is OK to pay attention to daily management.
