How does newest potted plum blossom raise?

Plum blossom is a deciduous tree belonging to the genus Plum of Rosaceae, sometimes also refers to its fruit (plum) or flower (plum blossom), originating in the south of China, has a cultivation history of more than 3,000 years, whether for ornamental or fruit trees, there are many varieties, there are many types not only open field cultivation for ornamental, but also can be planted as potted flowers and the production of plum piles, let's take a look at how potted plum blossoms are raised!

Growth Habits of Plum Blossom

Plum blossom likes warm climate, cold resistance is not strong, except apricot plum varieties can withstand-25℃ low temperature, generally-10℃ low temperature, drought resistance, not waterlogging resistance, long life, up to thousands of years. Flowering is particularly sensitive to climate change, like air humidity is larger, but avoid heavy rain. High temperature resistance, can also grow under 40℃ conditions, in the annual average temperature of 16~23℃ area growth and development best. It is very sensitive to temperature. It blooms when the average temperature reaches-5 ° C in early spring. If it encounters low temperature, the flowering period will be delayed. If it encounters low temperature when flowering, the flowering period will be prolonged. Growth period should be placed in sunny, well-ventilated place, if in a shady environment, insufficient light, growth thin, flowering rare. Do not enter the room too early in winter, in late November is appropriate, so that flower bud differentiation grams through the vernalization stage. Winter should be placed in the indoor sunny place, the temperature can be maintained at about 5℃.

The method of putting plum blossoms into pots

Plum blossom in the nursery after 2 to 3 years of planting pruning, can be planted into pots or potted plants for people to appreciate, pot soil cultivation generally with a rotten leaf soil, vegetable soil three, mixed with a small amount of sand cultivation system, this soil is soft and rich in nutrients, ventilation, drainage performance is good, dry will not harden cracking, wet will not compact into a group. The upper basin is generally thawed at the beginning of spring, and it is better to use earthen pots when planting. A layer of broken pots is laid on the bottom of the basin to facilitate drainage and avoid nutrient loss, and to increase the space area for ventilation. Cut off the long taproot and a small amount of lateral roots, leave more fibrous roots, pour a small amount of soil first, then put the plum pile into the pot, shake the flowerpot after adding soil to make the loose soil sink and the roots close, irrigate enough water, and put it in the sun.

The method of fertilization of plum blossom

Plum bearing barren, do not need a lot of nutrients, generally do not need too much fertilizer, too much branches and leaves, not easy to form flower buds, but also must not be too little nutrients and poor growth. Potted plum blossoms often grow poorly due to lack of pot soil and nutrient leaching. In addition to applying basal fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in the culture soil when planting pots, decomposed human urine and cake water and fertilizer should also be applied during the growing season. Fertilization should be from plum blossom root germination of more than 3 cm (that is, 15~20 days on the pot) and should follow the principle of less to more, from light to thick, step by step, so as not to hurt the root too early and death. Fertilize once a week during the growth period. When the new shoots have grown and start to deduct water, control the application of nitrogen fertilizer to avoid flourishing branches. At the same time, spray phosphorus and potassium fertilizer or apply quick-acting phosphorus and potassium fertilizer on the leaves every week to promote flower bud formation. After the physiological differentiation of flower buds is completed (around the beginning of autumn), fertilize water 2-3 times a month. Before and after the Spring Festival, when the flower buds expand, fertilize once or twice, mainly with quick-acting fertilizer (human dung or urea) to promote flower bud formation.

The watering method of plum blossom

1. Plum blossoms are most afraid of water immersion, but they should not be too dry. The roots of plum blossoms should not be in wet soil with poor drainage for a long time, otherwise they are easy to rot and die. Plum is a broadleaf tree species, summer growth season needs more water, if water shortage will weaken photosynthesis, reduce the accumulation of nutrients, will affect the normal growth and flowering of plum piles. The number of watering times and dosage should be determined according to the high temperature, humidity and drainage of the basin soil. The basin soil should be kept moist during the growing season. When the branches grow to 15~20 cm, before flower bud differentiation, we should master the principle of "no watering without drying, watering thoroughly", watering again when the new shoots wither and droop,"buckling water", controlling the growth of new shoots, accumulating nutrients, and promoting flower bud differentiation.

2, plum blossom bud is precocious, in the whole process of vegetative growth, can germinate 2~3 times of new shoots, if not properly controlled watering, so that the second new shoots germinate and grow, flower bud is not easy to form, next year does not bloom or blossom very little, but excessive water loss, after watering, leaves still can not return to normal, leaf tip withered, fall off, but also image flower bud differentiation. If it is found that the leaves are seriously withered, the whole plum blossom can be immersed in water and taken out after 40 minutes, and it is expected to return to normal. After the physiological differentiation of flower buds is completed from late July to August, normal watering should be resumed. In winter, when the temperature is lower, water less and keep the air moist to avoid drying and falling buds.
