After the potted plants picked up by mom's garbage were kept for a period of time, the uncles and aunts around the trees came to join in the fun.

Mom picked up the potted plants next to the trash. After a period of time, the fruit was hung all over the trees, and the uncles and aunts around them all came to join the fun!

Mom is 58 years old today. After she retired from the factory, she took care of her grandchildren at home. But for her, who is restless, she still has to grow onions and garlic in the yard all day. She said that she is used to doing things, and it is not a taste to be idle at home all of a sudden, so doing something at home can enrich her life.

After dinner in the afternoon, my mother would take her grandchildren for a walk in the square and dance in the square with uncles and aunts. One afternoon not long ago, when my mother was on her way home with her children after square dancing, when she passed our trash can on Maple Leaf Road, she saw a dying pot of potted plants, and even the flowerpot was broken. This is for the frugal and simple mother, encounter such a thing, certainly will not let go. Because Uncle Wang's house next door grows a lot of bonsai stumps, so take this opportunity to pick up such bonsai and try it to see if you can feed it. Originally, this is a pot of firethorn potted plants, the leaves are withered and yellow, and some branches have dried up.

After taking it home, my mother found a pot in time, and found Uncle Wang, who is next door to us, and asked him to help the staff. Can he help us, and ask him to help? how should we plant it? And taught my mother a few lessons about the conservation of firethorn bonsai. The uncle said that the conservation of Pyracantha should be done in the following ways:

First, Hippophae rhamnoides likes a warm and humid environment, so pay attention to ventilation at all times, otherwise it is easy to cause diseases of Hippophae rhamnoides. Hippophae rhamnoides is suitable to grow in an environment with a temperature of 20-30 °C. it needs sufficient light and should be given a longer sunshine time. Firethorn is more hardy and can easily survive the winter. if the environmental temperature of the growth of firethorn in winter is too high, it will affect the flowering and fruiting of firethorn in the second year.

Second, Hippophae rhamnoides has lower requirements for soil, but in order to grow and develop well, sandy soil with deeper soil layer, loose soil and better drainage should be selected for planting. Usually, we can apply some nitrogen fertilizer regularly to promote the growth of Hippophae rhamnoides branches and leaves, and when the flowering season is approaching, we can apply some phosphate and potash fertilizer to promote the prosperity of flowering and fruit ripening. There is no need to fertilize in winter to keep the firethorn dormant.

Third, Hippophae rhamnoides is very drought-resistant, but the soil is easy to dry in winter and can be watered properly. The soil can be made dry during flowering, which is good for the fruit of Pyracantha. Pay attention to drainage if there is a rainy season during flowering. After the fruit is harvested and before entering the hibernating period, it is necessary to irrigate enough water to survive the winter, and then no more watering during the hibernating period.

While talking, the uncle put on the pot for his mother's firethorn, and then taught her some things that should be paid attention to in the maintenance of firethorn on weekdays. Under my mother's meticulous management and maintenance, after a period of time, this pot of almost dead firethorn bonsai, full of fruit hung all over the branches, which made my mother very excited and hurriedly told the news to Uncle Wang and others. The uncles and aunts who heard the news all came to watch, very envious! At the same time, when we encounter such things in the future, we can also be more mindful, so that we can not only save plant lives, but also bring ourselves a pleasant mood. I don't know what do you think of such a situation?
