Pot technology of plum blossom

When it comes to plum blossoms, pot planting is a method that many families can try, and it is more suitable for family planting than picking in the open field. The editor summarizes the main points of cultivation for you:

1. Preparatory work

Prepare a suitable pot before cultivation, according to the size of the plum blossom. Then prepare all the rootstocks and other tools that need to be used to facilitate the follow-up work.

2. Planting method

The planting method of potted plum blossom mainly depends on grafting, and the survival rate of cutting and bud grafting is relatively high at present. We can choose mountain peach or apricot for rootstock.

3. Splicing method

The cut rootstock is generally the most suitable two-year-old rootstock, prepare strong branches at the time of scion, cut to the right length, and leave buds. Then open a small interface on the other side of the rootstock with a knife to make it easy to insert the scion. After finishing this work, wrap it with a plastic film, or you can choose to use a wooden rope. Observe the survival through the film every day, and then remove the film after the real survival.

4. Budding

Budding is mainly carried out in August and September every year, and the T-shaped connection is the most suitable. Make a small cut no more than 2 cm above the scion and cut it flat from under the bud. To ensure that the final cut out is a T-shaped, and finally insert the scion into the T-shaped knife edge. Attention should be paid to the tightness when budding, and the interface should be wrapped with plastic film or wooden rope, just like the cutting method. In the follow-up observation, if a bud is seen to sprout, it means that the bud is grafted successfully.

5. Watering

The plum blossom that has just come into the pot is watered about twice a week, not too much. After survival, you can water it every day in summer to keep the soil moist. Too much watering will lead to root rot and affect the growth of plum blossoms.

6. Lighting

Plum blossom is like the sun, you can put the potted plum blossom on the balcony to absorb nutrients, do not put it in the dark for a long time. Plum blossoms can grow rapidly through photosynthesis, and the flowers will be more beautiful.
