Maintenance and Management of Plum Blossom Bonsai and appreciation during flowering period

(1) maintenance and management

Place: plum blossom should be placed in a sunny and well-ventilated place. Although the plum blossom is more hardy and can blossom in frost and snow, it still likes warmth and is suitable for the climate in the south. If it is cultivated in the cold areas of the north, it should be kept indoors in winter.

Watering: usually to keep the basin soil moist, do not dry do not water, to prevent stagnant water in the basin. From the middle and last ten days of May to the first and middle of June, that is, during the period from flower bud germination to flower bud formation, it is necessary to carry out "buckling water" treatment, that is, let the basin soil dry until the old leaves are slightly curled, and then water again when the new shoots shrink, so as to destroy the growth point of the new shoots several times, so that the new shoots stop elongating, in order to increase the occurrence of flower buds, and then gradually return to normal watering.

Fertilization: attention should be paid to the fertilization season. Generally, bone meal and bean cake can be placed at the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer. Cake fertilizer and water should be applied twice before flower bud formation in mid-May and late May, and 1-2 times in early August. It can be applied again in autumn.

Pruning: to make the plum blossom bonsai not only simple and vigorous, but also strong, blossom many, pruning is very important. Because the flower buds of plum are formed on the new branches of the same year, the old flower branches should be truncated immediately after flowering each year, leaving only 2-3 buds, and pay attention to making the buds grow outward in order to make the flowers blossom in the following year. The pruning of plum blossoms can be divided into the following types:

1. Thinning branches: cut off all kinds of cross branches, parallel branches, overlapping branches, opposite branches, long branches and overdense, thin branches that affect the appearance of the tree. To achieve the principle of "keep the old branches motionless, stay strong and remove the weak".

two。 Truncation: that is, on the basis of thinning, the upper part of the one-year-old branch after flowering is cut off. The degree of truncation should be determined according to the modeling needs and growth potential, those with good growth can be cut less, and those with poor growth can be cut more. According to the needs of modeling, sometimes a small number of long branches can be left. When cutting short, we should also choose the direction of the bud mouth according to the direction and angle of the branch, in order to achieve density.

3. Pick buds: that is, around April, when the leaf buds grow to about 3 cm, according to the location of the buds, density and the needs of tree modeling, pick some unwanted buds. For the buds on the old stem, pick as you go.

4. Heart-picking: that is, when the new shoot grows to a certain length in late June, the terminal bud will be removed to control the growth of the branch, and the general length should be 15cm to 30cm. For the plum blossom with poor germination, the heart can be picked in advance to promote its re-germination. When the plum blossom is too old, the tree often becomes weaker. In order to rejuvenate the declining plum trees, the following measures can be taken:

① cut off the lateral branches on the trunk in batches year by year, or cut the lateral branches year by year until they were removed from the base, so as to achieve the purpose of renewal.

When ② renews thick branches, attention should be paid to the protection of wounds to prevent the invasion of diseases and insect pests.

When the plum pot is cultivated in ③, it is best to choose the land with ventilation and light, rich and loose soil, and thinning the branches at the same time. Turn the basin: the plum blossom bonsai should be turned every 1-2 years, preferably after flowering in March, or from November to December in winter. When turning the basin, remove the old soil 1B3~1B2, cut off the dead roots, shorten the over-long old roots, and replace them with humus-rich rotten leaf soil or frozen loose pond soil, mixed with rice chaff ash and sandy soil.

Pest control: the main diseases of plum blossom are anthracnose, powdery mildew, leaf shrinkage, bituminous coal disease and so on. The main pests are plum caterpillars, aphids, longicorn beetles, military insects, diamondback moths and so on. Diseases can be sprayed with 0.5% Bordeaux solution and pests can be sprayed with 1500 times of dichlorvos. If the dried plum found that longicorn beetle larvae were eaten into the tree trunk, 1 part of dichlorvos plus 0.5 part of light diesel oil, cotton ball dipped in the wormhole, and then sealed with wet mud. When using drugs to control insect pests, you should avoid using dimethoate, otherwise it will cause fallen leaves and even lead to death.

(2) viewing

The plum blossom tree is elegant and elegant, with dry Yan cover, sparse branches and oblique horizontal, vigorous and simple, the most beautiful. The best ornamental period is the flowering period, usually from February to March. If you want to blossom during the Spring Festival, you can put the plum blossom bonsai into a greenhouse of about 10 ℃ about 40 days before the Spring Festival, with plenty of sunshine and regular water spraying. Plum pile bonsai has the beauty of color, shape and charm, with good color, aroma and taste. Yang Wanli, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem chanting plum: "at the beginning, I also feel fragrant and broken nose, no fragrance nor taste, virtual condensation dusk flowers want to sleep, do not know to be intoxicated by flowers." This is a description of the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms.

Maintenance of plum blossom bonsai

The conservation of plum blossom bonsai is very important, and it can blossom and watch year after year if it is properly maintained.

When you put it on the basin. Generally, 70% of the pond soil, 20% of the rotten leaf soil and 10% of the mature garbage soil are all planted, so the basin soil has good drainage performance and is not easy to accumulate water. The size and style of the basin are determined according to the size and shape of the stump, and the long basin of medium depth is mostly used, and the soil of the basin should not be too shallow or too little, otherwise it will affect the growth and development of the stump. After the stump is put on the basin. It should be placed in a place with sufficient light and good ventilation.

After the plum blossom blossoms, the management of water and fertilizer should be strengthened. April to June is the new shoot growth period, when the application of thin fertilizer once a month! The fertilization was stopped during the dormant period from October to November, and the flower buds began to sprout in early December, when phosphorus and potassium fertilizer could be applied twice, which was beneficial to flowering. Make the flowers big and fragrant. Apply thin fertilizer once a month in other periods. The period from late June to mid-July is the period of flower bud differentiation. Water supply should be properly controlled to make the soil slightly dry, which is beneficial to flower bud differentiation. Water and fertilizer should be supplied normally from August to October, and the amount of water should be reduced from October to November. Plum blossoms blossom only on the branches that are born in the same year, so it is necessary to prune and reshape the flowers after they are shedding. There are 2-3 bud nodes at the base of flowering branches, and the rest are all cut off. When □ pruning, pay attention to the orientation of the buds at the cutting mouth. When the bud at the base of the branch is about 15 cm long, cut off the overgrown branches, cross branches, overlapping branches, dense branches, thin and weak branches, as well as the branches that affect the posture of the tree, so as to ensure that the remaining branches bloom well, and the branches can be trimmed according to the method of storing branches and truncating.

The plum blossom leaves in July, there are no flowers in that year, and there are few deciduous flowers in August, because the leaves are backward, the photosynthesis is unable to carry out photosynthesis, and the flower buds are difficult to differentiate, but the flower buds basically form the flower bud differentiation period from June to July after September, so it is necessary to strengthen conservation and management to avoid falling leaves caused by poor maintenance and affect the flowering of the year.

Turn the pot once every other year, after the flowers fade in March. When turning the basin, remove about half of the basin soil, trim the root once, and cut off the withered old root, overlong root and part of the fibrous root. When turning the basin, the soil with high humus content, fertile and good drainage performance can be replaced, and a small amount of fermented bone meal and cake fertilizer can be added to supplement the base fertilizer.

The main pests that harm the growth of plum blossoms are aphids and red spiders, which can be sprayed with 50% dichlorvos 800000 times. Can not use dimethoate to kill pests, so as not to cause fallen leaves, affect growth and flower bud differentiation, resulting in the year can not blossom.
