The cultivation methods and precautions of tiger thorn plum

Prunus angustifolia is a kind of shrub plant originating from Madagascar in Africa, which can grow well in tropical and temperate regions. After being introduced into China, it has been planted in both the south and north of China, and it is often used as a green plant in parks or botanical gardens. It can also be potted and planted in the courtyard as decoration. So what is the breeding method of tiger thorn plum? The following pro-agricultural network will introduce the breeding methods and matters needing attention of tiger thorn plum for you.

I. the growth custom of tiger thorn plum

Prunus angustifolia likes a warm and humid growing environment. Although it originally grows in the tropics, it is not resistant to high temperature or cold, and can endure a certain degree of drought. Chimonanthus przewalskii will briefly go into dormancy when the temperature is very low in winter. If the temperature can be kept above 15 ℃, it can blossom continuously throughout winter, so it can be cultivated in greenhouse.

Second, the culture method of Prunus tomentosa

1. Soil

The cultivation soil of Prunus przewalskii should choose sandy soil with loose and good drainage, rotten leaf soil and sandy soil can be selected and mixed with a small amount of fertilizer. Be careful to separate the fertilizer from the plant, otherwise it will cause the plant to burn roots. Soil is the living environment for plants, so it is important to choose the right soil.

two。 Watering

The leaves of Prunus mume are fleshy and drought-resistant, so they should not be watered too much. Because the soil is sandy, it has good water absorption, can retain water for a long time, and can grow well without regular watering. If watering too much, the basin soil is too wet, it will cause rotten roots and endanger the survival of the plant, usually watering pay attention to keep the basin soil dry. When the summer weather is hot, you can properly pour more water, so the temperature is high and the water evaporates faster, but even if you water it in summer, you should put the plant in a ventilated environment to avoid watering too much and affecting the plant growth.

3. Fertilizer application

The fertilization requirements of Prunus mume can be less but not more. In summer and autumn, diluted fertilizer should be applied once every 3-4 weeks, and fertilization should be reduced as much as possible in winter and spring. Excessive fertilization during the growth period will cause the branches and leaves to grow too vigorously, but the light leaves will not blossom, and the ornamental property will be destroyed. Special attention should be paid to applying a small amount of fertilizer during the bud differentiation period to ensure that the leaves are numerous and the flowers are luxuriant.

4. Light

We all know that plants can grow luxuriantly only if there is enough light, and the tiger thorn plum is no exception. It is best to make sure that there is plenty of sunshine all the year round, especially during flowering. Potted plants raised indoors need to often move the tiger plum to a place with light, the flowers and colors will be bright when the sun is sufficient, and the leaves will be luxuriant. If you put it in a dark environment for a long time, it will not only grow badly, but also affect flowering.

III. Matters needing attention in the cultivation of Prunus mume

If it is a potted tiger thorn plum, the pot needs to be changed after being cultivated for 1 or 2 years. It is usually better to choose to change the pot every spring when it is better to retain part of the persistent soil at the root, replace it with new soil, and replant it. Be careful to cut off withered roots, injured roots and overlong main roots, as well as dense branches and leaves properly. In addition, Chimonanthus przewalskii is a tropical plant after all, and the temperature in winter should not be lower than 12 ℃.

The above are the breeding methods and matters needing attention brought by the pro-agricultural network to you. Here, the pro-agricultural network would like to remind you that the tiger thorn plum itself is still a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, but its milk is poisonous. If you accidentally break its roots, stems, leaves or flowers in the process of breeding, the milk should be handled carefully.
