Trimmed and maintained in this way, the branches of triangular plum can also be used for cutting.

Recently, some flower friends have sent a message that the first crop of their own triangular plum has blossomed and failed, watching the long branches and residual flowers hanging on the branches, but they do not know how to prune them. In fact, many experienced flower friends know that frequent flowering plants such as triangular plum and jasmine bloom on new branches, and branches that have flowered will not blossom again, and retaining them will only compete with other branches for plant nutrients and affect flower bud differentiation of new branches. Therefore, we need to cut off the residual flowers and excess branches in time, cooperate with temperature, light, fertilizer and water control management to promote its faster germination of new branches and flower bud differentiation, so that the flowers will bloom continuously all the year round.

It is generally recommended that after the new buds sprout in spring, according to the plant type and growth of their own triangulated plum, cut off the weak branches and retain the trunk and strong-growing branches, in order to make the plant type full, each branch should retain 2-3 leaves to concentrate nutrients to promote the Lignification of the retained branches. In order to avoid excessive branch growth, the plant can be sprayed with paclobutrazol solution (paclobutrazol can shorten the internodes, thicken the stem, thicken the leaves, develop the root system, improve the stress resistance of the plant and do not affect the flowering of the plant. This is a personal experience, which can be avoided if it is troublesome. At the same time, it is combined with water control (which was highlighted in the previous article on promoting the flowering of triangular plum) and spraying potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution and sufficient light to promote flower bud differentiation.

After the first flowering period, cut off the residual flowers and 1/3 of each branch, or re-cut the new overgrown branches to prevent them from competing for plant nutrients with the main branches, and cut off the dense branches and terminal branches at the same time. Cut off the weak parallel branches, keep the strong branches and cut them short. At the same time, combined with the application of two times of comprehensive compound fertilizer, the time interval is once every semimonthly to supplement the nutrition consumed by the plant at flowering stage. After that, another round of water control and spraying potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution were carried out to enhance the light and promote flower bud differentiation again.

Prunus angustifolia is a plant with strong light and short sunshine. The Beginning of Autumn later, due to the gradual shortening of sunshine, triangular plum entered the period of natural differentiation of flower buds in the leaf axils of the branches, and pruning could be suspended or weak branches could be trimmed lightly. at this time, heavy pruning may cut off the branches of natural flower bud differentiation, resulting in no flowering after autumn.

The pruned branches of Prunus mume can be used for cutting. Select healthy annual branches, cut about 8cm to 10cm, retain two bud points, oblique cut at the bottom and flat at the top. Two leaves were reserved at the top for photosynthesis, soaked in naphthalene acetic acid solution for about 30 minutes, dried and inserted into clean and slightly wet river sand, vermiculite or culture soil. The upper part of the flowerpot can be covered with a plastic bag to maintain humidity, and several small holes can be pierced at the top to breathe. Keep it in a cool and ventilated place, it can sprout in about 30 days, take root in about 40 days (triangulated plum branch cuttings germinate first and root again), and the basin can be moved in about 50 days.
