Mastered these breeding techniques of tiger thorn plum blossom all the year round

Tiger thorn plum, also known as iron begonia. When blooming, the red flowers hang all over the branches, "a little red in the green bushes", which is very lovable. Tiger thorn plum is a very solid flower, some flower friends raise tiger thorn plum, luxuriant branches and leaves do not blossom! Personally, I think there are only three main reasons: 1. The temperature is not enough. Lack of light; 3. Fertilization is unreasonable. To meet these three conditions, the tiger thorn plum can blossom all year round!

Tiger thorn plum likes the sun very much, and it is not like some other plants to shade in summer, tiger thorn plum and jasmine can give plenty of light all year round! When the temperature is above 15 ℃, the more sufficient the light is, the more flowering is. My balcony raised two pots of tiger thorn plum, oblique light for a few hours every afternoon, summer high temperature of 38 ℃, still open violently.

Tiger thorn plum is not strict with the soil, just loose and breathable. Pine needle soil or rotten leaf soil plus garden soil and river sand can meet its growth needs. Tiger thorn plum likes water, the summer temperature is high, we must ensure an adequate water supply, watering also do not wait for the basin soil to dry before watering, because of the large evaporation in summer, the basin soil can be watered again. When the temperature is low in winter, you must wait for the basin soil to be completely dry before watering, and choose the watering time at sunny noon, and heat the water close to room temperature to prevent the root system from frostbite caused by sudden cold.

If you want the tiger thorn plum to blossom more, you should also cooperate with an adequate supply of fertilizer. Chimonanthus przewalskii has just sprouted in early spring, applying more nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Prunus przewalskii can differentiate into flower buds when the temperature reaches more than 15 ℃. At this time, we must reduce the intake of nitrogen fertilizer and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. It can be done two or three times a month. It can be sprayed with 1RU 1000 potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution leaves, or it can be irrigated directly to the plant root.

When the winter temperature is lower than 10 ℃, Chimonanthus przewalskii will enter the dormancy period due to temperature discomfort, showing dry leaves and wilting plants, as if they had withered. Some flower friends think that the tiger thorn plum will freeze to death and will throw it away. in fact, when the temperature rises in spring, it will wake up and grow branches and leaves again!

It should be reminded that Chimonanthus przewalskii belongs to the Euphorbiaceae, and the sap of the stem is slightly toxic. After pruning the plant, there will be a flow of white juice, these white branches and leaves can stick to small flying insects, and if there is a wound on the hand, it will have an irritating effect on the wound, which is also an instinctive reaction of self-protection of tiger prunes, so wash your hands in time after pruning. Flower friends with children in the family raise tiger thorn plum and keep it out of the reach of the children in case of accidents.
