Five-colored plum is native to tropical America, and a small amount of wild plum is found in the south of China. Like warm, humid and sunny environment, not cold-resistant. Bonsai can be maintained outside in the sun during the growing season from spring to autumn, even in midsummer, but it requires good ventilation.

If the light is insufficient, the plants will grow too long, the stems and branches will be thin and long, and the flowering will be rare, which will seriously affect the ornamental plants. Keep the basin soil moist during the growing period to avoid excessive dryness, and pay attention to spraying water to the leaves to increase air humidity; apply thin fertilizer dominated by phosphorus and potassium every 15 days or so to provide sufficient nutrients and make the plant blossom more.

1. Pruning

Five-color plum grows fast, so the branches and leaves that affect the shape should be cut off in time in order to maintain the beauty of the tree shape, cut the overlong twigs after each flower, and cut the plants again before entering the house at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. If the room temperature above 15 ℃ is maintained in the sunny part of the room in winter, the plant can grow and blossom normally, and it should be watered, fertilized and pruned properly. If you can not maintain such a high temperature, control watering, stop fertilization, so that the plant dormancy, more than 8 ℃ can safely survive the winter. Turn the pot once every spring, and trim the plant again, cutting off dead branches, weak branches and other branches that affect the shape of the tree.

II. Reproduction

Five-color plum can use sowing, cutting, striping and other methods to propagate flower seedlings. After the fruit is ripe, it is picked and retted, soaked in water and scrubbed to remove the pulp, and the seeds are obtained. To avoid losing water, seeds can be sowed with picking in autumn, or stored in mixed sand, and sown again in spring. The temperature should be kept above 20C in the germination stage after sowing. The germination rate is about 60%. The southern sowing seedlings can blossom in autumn and cut more than May. One-year-old branches are taken as cuttings, every two sections are divided into one section, the upper leaves are retained and half of them are cut off, and the lower part is inserted into the soil, maintained in a sparse shade and often sprayed with water. It takes about 1 month to take root and produce new branches. The plant has a lot of branches and takes root in the soil, so the flexible branches are scratched and pressed into the soil, and the roots are cut off after the root system grows.

Third, fertilizer and water

Pot soil to loose and fertile sandy loam is suitable, the requirements are not strict, the growth period every 10 days to apply mature liquid fertilizer, combined with watering, spraying 3% urea twice every 10 days, can make the leaves thicker and greener. When planting, organic fertilizer is applied as base fertilizer, and initial watering is used to promote growth. when it survives and grows vigorously, irrigation can be reduced, and vine branches can be buried in the soil in open field cultivation, which can be gradually expanded into a large clump.
