There should be a lot of friends who like Hawthorn, and I also like it very much. However, there are not many flower lovers who grow Hawthorn now. in fact, Hawthorn is very beautiful whether it is planted in the courtyard or on the balcony to make bonsai. Here, let's share with you how to grow Hawthorn potted plants at home.

1. Growth habits of Hawthorn.

Hawthorn is actually very adaptable. It can grow not only in the cold north, but also in the hot south. And Hawthorn trees not only like the sun, but also can grow in a cool environment. Like loose and fertile sandy soil, the soil had better be acidic.

2. Planting of Hawthorn

Seeds Hawthorn seeds should be said to be very easy to get, you can go to the supermarket to buy some raw Hawthorns, choose those mature very good Hawthorns, and then take out the seeds. But you will find that the kernels of Hawthorn seeds are very hard, which is not conducive to germination. So you need to sprout before planting. The seeds can be soaked in warm water for two days and exposed to the sun for about three hours, repeated for about ten days. The core of the fruit will crack, and then the core will be buried in the sand for sand storage. It can be sown in the spring of the following year, and it usually sprouts in about two weeks.

Xiao Miao, however, the above method should be very unsuitable for anxious flower friends, so flower friends can also directly buy Hawthorn seedlings, which are sold in the flower market and online.

After buying the seedlings, you can choose the flowerpots that are suitable for the size of the seedlings, and it is best to choose clay flowerpots with better air permeability. Soil distribution can choose humus soil, garden soil, river sand, according to the ratio of about 3: 4: 3. Plant one or two Hawthorn seedlings in one pot. After planting, move to the shade to slow down the roots.

Water it thoroughly.

Hawthorn trees prefer light and can grow on the balcony at ordinary times. But the summer temperature is higher, the light is strong, had better carry on the proper shading treatment to the Hawthorn tree to prevent the leaf from burning. Winter Hawthorn trees will enter the dormant period, reduce watering and fertilization, it is best to move indoors.

Pruning if you are making Hawthorn bonsai, pruning will be more complicated, in order to timely stereotyping, binding, styling and other work, flower friends need to pay a great deal of patience. If you are potted as an ordinary fruit, pruning is relatively simple, generally follow the natural happy shape of the tree, pay attention to the crown trimming. Keep four or five main branches, and it is best to spread out in the direction of the main branches, so that every other branch can receive light and keep it ventilated.
