The transplanting time of dried plum is mostly in winter and spring, and the root of the seedling must take soil mass. Before planting, apply enough manure, barnyard manure or rotten bean cake as base fertilizer in the planting hole. After applying the base fertilizer, cover the fertilizer with a thin layer of soil, and then put the seedlings to fill the soil. After planting, it should be watered and pruned properly. The management of cultivated preserved plums can be more extensive. Generally, liquid fertilizer is applied every 20 days from June to September every year (bone meal and cake fertilizer can be used to soak in water and apply after full ripening), which can ensure the good development of branches, leaves and flower buds. Water once before early winter, apply fertilizer once after flower fade, and water once, usually do not water, only when the weather is too dry can be properly watered.

Wax plum germination is strong, after flowering should be pruned in time, generally cut off more than 20 cm part of the flower branch, and cut the elongated branch of the previous year, leaving 1-2 pairs of buds. In this way, nutrients can be concentrated on new shoots and create favorable conditions for outstanding and large flowers the following year.

Generally take the dog bud wax plum as the rootstock, the vegetarian wax plum, the Xinkou wax plum and other excellent varieties as the scion.

The propagation of bud grafting should be from late May to late June. The hidden buds on the branches of the first year should be selected for bud grafting, and the survival rate is higher than that of the new buds on the branches of the same year, and the "V" shape grafting method can be adopted.
