How to raise potted preserved plum trees? Growth habits and Culture methods of Prunus mume

Place: Chimonanthus bonsai should be placed in a place to avoid the wind and the sun, avoid cold wind, slightly shade in summer, pot plants in winter should be moved to indoor overwintering when the temperature is less than 1 ℃.

Watering: wax plum is more drought-tolerant, it is known as "immortal wax plum", but it can not be too dry. Usually the basin soil can be slightly drier, watering should be "dry and wet", if it is not watered, it will be watered thoroughly. Summer is the flower bud formation period, can not be short of water, should be watered in the morning and evening, after autumn leaves, the basin soil can be dry, watering every 5-7 days.

Fertilization: wax plum is very fertile, so it is appropriate to apply cake fertilizer and water every 10 days in the early stage of flower bud formation from April to June. From the end of June to before ambush, the thin fertilizer and water with the combination of nitrogen and phosphorus was applied once a week to promote the formation of flower buds. The fertilizer should be thin when topdressing for 1 or 2 times in summer. Apply it again after autumn. When changing the basin, you can apply sufficient basic fertilizer such as bone meal and bean cake at the bottom of the basin.

Pruning: pruning and sprouting are very important to make Wintersweet blossom year after year. Pruning usually takes place from March to June and stops after August. The old flower branches should be truncated immediately after flowering each year, leaving a maximum length of only 15cm to 20cm. After the new branch grows 2-3 pairs of buds, the terminal bud is removed, and soon the side branch grows again. After growing to 10 cm, the bud is picked again and repeatedly several times until the flower bud is basically formed. It is also necessary to prune all kinds of cross branches, parallel branches, overlapping branches, opposite branches, long branches, and overdense and thin branches that affect the appearance of the tree. It is said that there is no shortage of branches in the flower proverb, so the wax plum can be re-cut.

Turn the basin: the bonsai of Chimonanthus should be turned every 1-2 years, and it is better to turn the pot at the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The germinated buds can be removed before turning the basin, and then transplanted when the hidden buds sprout and expand after about 5 days. When turning the basin, remove the old soil of 1B3, cut off the rotten and withered roots, and trim the overgrown old roots. Instead of frozen crisp pond soil or humus-rich rotten leaf soil, mixed with appropriate amount of rice chaff ash and sandy soil.

Pest control: wax plum has strong resistance to diseases and insect pests, and occasionally has pests such as diamondback moth, big coir moth, aphids, shell insects, etc., which can be sprayed with 1500 times of dichlorvos or 1500 times of crystal trichlorfon.

How to raise Prunus mume blossom, culture methods and matters needing attention

How to raise the plum blossom? Lamei flower is not only a kind of flowers and trees with high ornamental value, but also contains a variety of fragrances, which is one of the flowers for making high-grade scented tea. Since ancient times, many scholars have written many poems of praise for Lamei. The flower pattern of the plum blossom is also very beautiful, with a florescence of up to 4 months. Next, let's take a look at how to raise plum blossoms together with the editor of Huayu Network.

The growth habit of Prunus mume

If we want to know how to raise the plum blossom, we must first know the growth habits of the plum blossom. Only by understanding its growth preferences can we raise a plum blossom well. Lamei like the sun, can withstand shade, cold, drought, avoid waterlogging. Wax plum blossoms proudly open in frost and snow cold weather, yellow flowers like wax, fragrant, is the main ornamental flowers and trees in winter. The growth potential of the tree is strong, the branches are exuberant, and the rhizome is easy to sprout. Resistant to pruning and easy to shape.

How to raise the plum blossom? Lamei is afraid of strong winds and is more hardy because it is in full bloom in the cold winter. It can survive the winter safely when not less than-15 ℃, and can be cultivated in the south of Beijing. The flowering stage is low at-10 ℃, and the flowers are damaged by freezing. Lamei blossoms do not have a high demand for soil. They like sandy soil with deep, fertile, loose and well-drained soil. Flowering first and then leaves, flowering from November to March of the following year, and maturing from July to August.

Culture methods and points for attention of Prunus mume blossom

I believe we have an understanding of the growth habits of Prunus mume blossoms. In fact, after knowing the growth preferences of Prunus mume blossoms, it is not difficult for us to know how to raise them, but we should also protect them according to the growth environment of Prunus mume flowers. Prunus mume blossom can be planted in two ways, one is ground planting, the other is potted plant. Usually potted plants are cultivated indoors for ornamental purposes. Next, let's take a look at the matters that should be paid attention to in the process of wax plum blossom culture.

Ground planting

The planting of dried plum should be in the leeward and sunny place, and the transplanting time is mostly in winter and spring, and the root of the seedling must carry a mass of soil. Before planting, apply enough manure, barnyard manure or rotten bean cake as base fertilizer in the planting hole. After applying the base fertilizer, cover the fertilizer with a thin layer of soil, and then put the seedlings to fill the soil. After planting, it should be watered and pruned properly.

Potted plant

When potted Lamei is cultivated, the sandy loam which is loose and fertile and rich in humus should be selected. After putting on the basin, pour water in time, put it under the shade shed and slow the seedling for about a month, and then keep it in the courtyard or on the balcony where there is plenty of sunshine for maintenance.

Fertilizer application

The management of dried plum can be more extensive. In general, liquid fertilizer is applied every 20 days from June to September every year (bone meal and cake fertilizer can be used to soak in water and apply after full maturity), which can ensure the good development of branches, leaves and flower buds. Potted wax plum, usually should often be fertilized, in order to promote its formation of a large number of buds, otherwise flowering is rare. Generally, mature cake fertilizer and water are applied every 7 days between May and June every year, and the ratio of fertilizer to water can be matched by 3:10.

The flower bud formation period of Prunus mume is from July to August, and fertilization can be done every 15-20 days, and the concentration of fertilizer and water should be dilute, and the ratio of fertilizer and water should be 1:5. This is conducive to flower bud differentiation. The fertilizer must be fully rotten, or the roots will rot. Apply dry cake fertilizer again after autumn to meet the nutrient needs of flowering. After the beginning of winter, it is necessary to make the pot soil dry and no longer apply fertilizer, otherwise the florescence will be shortened.

Watering

The ground-planted Lamei was watered once before the early winter, fertilized once after the flowers faded, and watered once, usually not watered, but only properly watered when the weather was too dry. Potted wax plum watering should grasp the principle of dry re-watering, not more watering, pot soil should not be too wet; but also should not be too dry, too dry will lead to irregular blossoms.

Temperature, light

Potted preserved plum was moved indoors in December. If the room temperature is high, it can blossom before New Year's Day, but if the room temperature is low, the florescence can be delayed until around the Spring Festival. After flowering, it should be moved to a shady place to prevent premature drawing of new shoots and leaves, affecting flower bud differentiation and disadvantageous to flowering in the coming year.

Pest control

(1) disease. In the process of conventional cultivation, high temperature and humidity in summer are prone to bacterial diseases such as brown spot and leaf spot. The control can be sprayed with 500 times carbendazim solution. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen daily management and do a good job of prevention.

(2) insect words. There are mites, leaf-eaters and stem insects that invade Chinese plum. Control methods: integrated control methods can be used for trunk borer pests. The resistance of hatched larvae is poor at the beginning of July. 1000-fold solution of 90% trichlorfon can be injected into the borer holes in the trunk to kill larvae. If the density of the insect population is low, plug the wormhole with a poison label. During the peak period of adult Eclosion in September, the adults were trapped and killed by light.

When will the plum blossom be trimmed?

Wax plum has strong branching power, and it is known as the proverb "there is no shortage of branches". It can sprout more strong flower branches and blossom more through pruning at the right time. It is generally appropriate to prune the withered branches, overdense branches, cross branches, disease and insect branches, and leave 2 to 3 pairs of buds at the base of the annual branches, and cut off the upper branches to promote the germination and branching.

1. After every 2 to 3 pairs of leaves of the new branch, it is necessary to pick the heart to promote the sprouting of short and strong flower branches and make the plant shape symmetrical and beautiful. Pruning after flowering, remove disease and insect branches, over-long branches, internal bore branches, weak branches, etc., in order to increase ventilation and light transmission, can also be re-cut.

2. A pruning of short and long branches in summer is mainly to control vegetative growth and change the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, which is beneficial to more flowers and good flowers. Stop pruning after July. If it is not pruned during the suitable period, many branches will be drawn out and nutrients will be consumed, resulting in little differentiation of flower buds and affecting flowering.

3. A light shearing is carried out in winter, mainly to cut off the branches of diseases and insect pests, cross branches, etc., mainly plastic surgery. If the stump bonsai is made, it can be greatly trimmed in early spring (March-April) to make the trunk thicker and the crown thin. The specific way is to cut off the thicker branches close to the trunk. When sending branchlets again, leave a few depending on their shape, and the rest will be gradually cut off from the roots during the growing period, so that the plum pile will show the strength of mulberry trees in a few years. The growing period can be trimmed slightly.

Pruning methods of sharing flowers and plants in Lamei planting base

Pruning flowers and trees can regulate growth, flowering and fruiting. Pruning can also improve ventilation and light transmission conditions and promote the growth of branches and leaves of flowers and trees. The common methods of raising flowers in the family are heart-picking, pruning, wiping buds, picking leaves and so on.

(1) pick the heart

It is often used in herbaceous flower seedlings. When the main stem of herbaceous flower is removed, it is beneficial to promote the germination of lateral buds, increase branches, and achieve the purpose of dwarfing value plants, more branches and more flowers. And can also adjust the florescence. It is often used in chrysanthemum, red string, petunia, marigold and so on.

(2) pruning

There are two ways of pruning, one is thinning at the base of the branch, which is called thinning. Thinning is to cut off the overdense branches and cross branches, overgrown branches, weak branches, disease and insect branches and dead branches, which is beneficial to the ventilation and light transmission of the tree body and enhance the growth potential of the plant. Another way is to cut the branches short, which is called truncation. Short section can promote the lateral bud germination of the branch, adjust the growth potential, and be beneficial to blossom and bear fruit. If the rose leaves the branches around 20-30cm in winter, it can control the plant growth height and make the spring blossom luxuriantly and neatly. The long and short branches of Lamei can promote the germination of lateral branches and form the flowering branches of the second year. The growth habits of all kinds of flowers and trees are different, some branches form flower buds at the top bud and some branch lateral buds form flower buds, so different corresponding methods should be taken for short cut.

(3) wiping buds

During the growing period of flowers and trees, some adventitious buds often occur and are allowed to grow, which will consume nutrients, disturb the tree shape, affect ventilation and light transmission, and need to be erased in the early stage of bud germination. The grafted seedlings of rose and the gourd buds of the root tillers are all covered by wild roses and must be completely erased.

(4) picking leaves

For some foliage plants, such as hanging orchid, evergreen, one-leaf orchid, calla, etc., some old leaves should be removed in time to promote new leaves. After coming out of the room in spring, removing old leaves can promote multiple new technologies and new leaves, with prosperous growth and many buds.

When planting in the courtyard or potted plants, the space is limited and it is impossible for branches and tree trunks to grow freely. Need to maintain a certain plant type, but also hope that flowers can form a graceful, luxuriant shape. Therefore, the purpose of pruning flowers is not that pruning can promote flowering. What we should insist on is how to maintain a beautiful tree shape without getting in the way of blooming because of pruning.
