This flower is the darling of summer, no matter how hot it is.

Fu mulberry grows vigorously and has a long flowering period. In the hottest time in summer, it can still open heartily, it is the "darling" of summer, never afraid of heat, even if hot, but also open, and mulberry flowers colorful, flowers can last for a long time, is a very suitable for summer potted flowers and plants.

Balcony cultivation of mulberry, sufficient sunshine, high temperature, just suitable for the growth of mulberry. If it is well managed, it can blossom in early summer in the second year of cuttage breeding in summer and autumn, and in the same year in early spring.

After the seedlings of Fusang are put into the pot, when the topsoil hardens after several times of watering, the soil should be loosened in time so as to create good aeration conditions for the seedlings to continue to grow new roots and young roots. When new leaves grow, thin flower organic liquid fertilizer can be irrigated every 10-15 days, diluted 500 times, and directly irrigated with soil.

The sprouting and branch-forming ability of Fusang is strong, and 3-5 longer branches can be formed under the top of the main and lateral branches or under the cutting mouth in spring. Therefore, Fusang is easy to shape and resistant to pruning. Generally leave the stem 20 cm high to remove the heart to promote the lower part of the germination of new branches, the germination of 3 or 4 long branches can all be retained, erase the lower axillary buds or cut off the lower short branches.

When the spring buds sprout in the next year, change to a 21cm basin. 4 parts of sandy loam, 4 parts of rotten leaf soil and 1-2 parts of rotten cake fertilizer or sesame paste residue powder were used to add basin soil. A small amount of horns are used as base fertilizer at the bottom of the basin. At the same time, 2 or 3 branches with uniform distribution and similar growth potential were selected as the main branches with a length of about 10 cm, and the rest of the branches were cut off, so that nutrients were concentrated to supply the growth of the remaining branches.

When the spring of the third year moves out of the house, replace it with a basin of 24cm and 30cm. At this time, two long branches with suitable growth direction were selected on each main branch as side branches, 2-4 buds were left for short cutting, and 1-2 short branches with a length of 10-15 cm were kept on each main branch below the side branch without pruning. After these remaining short branches sprout, they can bud and blossom in late spring and early summer.

The big pot will not be changed after the fourth year, but it should be poured out every spring, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to the growth, budding and flowering in the future. While pouring the pot, it is necessary to continue pruning, that is, to remove the overdense, thin, overlapping and crossed branches, and to truncate the remaining uniformly distributed lateral branches with 2-4 buds per branch. However, the short branches of 10 cm to 15 cm growing on the main branches should be properly retained to make them blossom in late spring and early summer.

Fusang usually comes out of the room in mid-and late April and is watered once after coming out of the room. In the future, because there are not many branches and leaves of the plant after short pruning and less water is needed, watering should be controlled, and the method of large and small water wheel irrigation can be adopted, that is, small water is poured when the basin soil is not dry, and heavy water is poured when both the top and bottom are dry, so that the basin soil is dry and wet in the best condition.

Summer is hot, evaporation is large, and it is the season of exuberant growth and budding and flowering of Fusang, so it needs the largest amount of water, so it should be watered once in the afternoon, such as the basin soil is now dry, in addition to watering thoroughly every morning. Fusang likes humid environmental conditions, in spring and summer dry and hot summer weather, such as often spray water to the leaves, can make the plant grow fast, the leaves are bright, and the flowers are large and colorful.

The growing period of Fusang is long and blossoms continuously, so it should be fertilized regularly according to plant size and growth and development. Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers should be the main fertilizers. When changing the basin or pouring the basin, a small amount of leaves are applied to the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer. The organic nutrient solution is usually applied every 10 days or so, and the organic nutrient solution is applied every 3-5 days during the peak growth period to promote growth and flowering.
