Culture method of Japanese crabapple flower

It is better to cultivate Japanese crabapple flowers in acidic or neutral soil. Usually put it in the sunny place with good light to ensure that the temperature is above 10 degrees. Less watering during the budding period, watering twice a day during the growing period, spraying water to the leaves and the ground in midsummer, and spraying leaves with clean water every 7 days in winter. There is no need to apply fertilizer at ordinary times, but a large fertilizer should be applied to replenish nutrients when the leaves fall.

1. Soil: acidic or neutral soil is better, which can be a mixture of river sand, rotten leaf soil and snake sawdust. Do not use saline-alkali soil and clayey soil, which can lead to poor growth.

2. Sunshine: like plenty of sunlight, and it is better to keep it in a sunny place with good light when maintaining. if it is kept in a cool and dark place for a long time, it will hinder growth, so it is necessary to ensure that it can shine for a long time.

3. Temperature: the best growth temperature is between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius. Because of its cold resistance, as long as the room temperature is not less than 10 degrees Celsius, it is no problem to put it outdoors.

4. Watering: it is appropriate to keep the soil moist. Water less during the budding period and twice a day during the growing period. In the midsummer weather, water should be sprayed on the leaves and the ground to improve air humidity. The formation of flower buds from August to September should be dry and wet, otherwise it is disadvantageous to flower bud differentiation. In winter, the soil should be slightly dry, and the leaves should be sprayed with water every 7 days. Do not pour water on the stems and leaves when watering, otherwise the stagnant water in the stems and leaves is easy to rot.

5. Fertilization: there is no need to apply fertilizer at ordinary times, but a lot of nutrients will be lost when the leaves fall, so it is necessary to apply a large amount of fertilizer to replenish nutrients. Fertilizer needs to be applied and watered once in early spring, which allows the fertilizer to fully seep into the soil.

6. Pruning: after defoliation and before sprouting in spring, a careful pruning is needed to cut off dead, diseased and thin branches. If you want to increase the number of buds, you need to cut the long branch short, and you need to pick its heart in time.
