The difference between the culture methods and matters needing attention of preserved plum and plum blossom

When it comes to Lamei, it is a scenery in winter. When everything is withered, Lamei is also naturally open, not only open but also fragrant. Let's take a look at the breeding methods and points for attention of Lamei. If you want to raise one in your own yard, it will be fragrant in winter.

Wax plum is fond of sunshine and can withstand semi-overcast. It can survive the winter safely when not less than-15 ℃. It can be cultivated in the open field in the south of Beijing. The flowering stage is at a low temperature of-10 ℃ and the flowers are damaged by freezing.

I like the slightly acidic sandy loam with deep, fertile, loose and well drained soil, and grow poorly on saline-alkali soil. Strong drought tolerance, afraid of waterlogging. 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.

Flowering first and then leaves, flowering November-March of the following year, full-bodied flowers. Fruit receptacle shaped, achene oval, chestnut brown, glossy, ripe from July to August.

1. Soil

When planting Lamei in pots, loose, fertile and humus-rich sandy loam should be selected.

2. Watering

Lamei is resistant to drought and waterlogging, such as too high moisture, too moist soil, poor plant growth, affecting flower bud differentiation.

Potted plum is more drought-resistant, usually the potted 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.

3. Temperature

Lamei is fond of sunshine and can withstand semi-overcast. It can survive the winter safely when not less than-15 ℃. It can be cultivated in the open field in the south of Beijing. The flowering stage is at a low temperature of-10 ℃ and the flowers are damaged by freezing.

4. Selecting basin

Wax plum should use purple sand pottery basin, can also use glazed pottery basin. General seedlings Chimonanthus chinensis mostly use round basin, square basin, hexagonal basin and so on. Wintersweet old pile can use medium-deep dregs basin or crabapple basin, cliff type more choose thousand-cylinder basin.

5. Use soil

Chimonanthus praecox is not strict on soil, but it is better to use sandy loam with good drainage. The commonly used mature pastoral soil or rotten leaf soil mixed with 20% bran ash was used as culture soil.

6. Planting

The transplanting of Chimonanthus praecox is mostly carried out in early spring, and it is suitable before and after the new bud germination of flower stem in the first ten days of March. It is generally appropriate to plant in an oblique way, which is easy to take advantage of when modeling. A shaping and pruning can be carried out before planting, and sufficient base fertilizer can be applied to the bottom of the pot when it is put on the pot.

7. Placement location

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

8. Fertilization

Chimonanthus przewalskii is so fertile that cake fertilizer and water should be applied 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.

9. 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.

Thinning and pruning all kinds of cross branches, parallel branches, overlapping branches, opposite branches, long branches and overdense, 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.

10. Turn the basin

The bonsai of Chimonanthus mume should be turned over 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.

Matters needing attention in preserved plum culture:

Chimonanthus praecox has fewer diseases and more pests, such as aphids, shell insects, diamondback moths, curly leaf buds and so on. Aphids suck juice on tender leaf buds, shell insects suck juice on branches, and diamondback moths and leaf rollers bite leaves, new buds, flower buds and so on.

Prevention and control methods: give priority to prevention, put flowerpots in a well-lit and ventilated environment to reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

It is found that the above pests can be sprayed with 1000 times of fenitrothion, and soil methods can also be used to kill insects in order to reduce the pollution to the flower-growing environment, such as shell insects can be killed with acid and vinegar solution, aphids can be killed with washing powder water, if a small amount can be killed manually.

The propagation method of Lamei:

Prunus mume is often propagated by grafting, cutting, striping or split. The method of grafting is widely used.

1. Grafting

The 2 ~ 3-year-old Chinese plum was selected as the rootstock and grafted by relying or cutting grafting, usually by relying on grafting.

In early spring, in March, the bark of the rootstock and scion was cut off, joined and fastened together, and the joint was wrapped with plastic strips to make it heal and survive. After survival, it can be planted separately with the mother plant in the winter of the same year.

2. Cuttage

The cuttings were soaked in 50 mg / kg rooting powder for 6 hours and then placed in a shaded plastic film shed for about 20-30 days to take root and transplant.

3. Ramet

Ramet is a seedling with multiple fibrous roots at the base, cut off the upper branches after the ramet, apply thin liquid fertilizer, and cover the upper part for shade. It can also be propagated by pressing in spring and autumn.

Lamei is more hardy and can survive the winter safely in the open field as long as it is not less than-15 ℃, but the flowering period should not be less than-10 ℃. Wax plum is afraid of the wind, and the wind will cause rust spots on the leaves due to mutual friction.

Lamei is resistant to drought, but it can not be short of water in summer, so as not to form withered and whitish patches on the leaves and affect the formation of flower buds.

Wax plum must be pruned in time after blooming, like fertilizer, can dig 15-18 cm deep ring ditch to apply thin fertilizer once a month, do not apply agricultural fertilizer, in order to avoid "greedy green" after autumn. It is suitable to apply topdressing fertilizer before defoliation in autumn, and the ratio of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen is 2: 1: 0.5.

Note:

Lamei is a deep-rooted tree species, which must be planted in a deep pot. Once every 2 or 3 years, remove the topsoil from the soil mass, so that its root neck gradually exposed the surface of the basin soil, hanging roots and claws, very chic.

Chinese plum is not suitable for planting in too warm areas, because the temperature required for blooming is 0 ℃ ~-10 ℃ for at least 5 days.

The difference between preserved plum and plum blossom:

The leaves of Chimonanthus mume are straight branches, and the cotyledons are widely ovate to ovate, while the plum blossoms have not only straight branches, but also hanging branches and twisted branches. the branches often have thorns, opposite leaves, nearly leathery, long oval, entire, rough upper surface, green, and smooth gray on the back.

Most of the wax plum blossoms in winter, while the plum blossoms mostly bloom in spring. (left: plum blossom, right: Lamei)

The color of the wax plum blossom is different from that of the plum blossom, the plum blossom has many colors such as white, pink, crimson, purple and so on, the fragrance is lighter; the wax plum blossom is mainly wax yellow, other colors are rare, and the fragrance is fragrant and strong.

The alias of Lamei:

Aliases: wax plum, golden tea, yellow plum, yellow plum blossom, golden plum, wax plum blossom, wax wood, snow plum, winter plum, snow plum, cold plum and so on. Lamei is distributed throughout central, eastern and Sichuan. It has been planted in all major cities except South China.

So much for the introduction of preserved plum culture methods and matters needing attention. Come and try it as soon as possible, and give yourself a little fragrance.

Culture methods and points for attention of Chimonanthus mume 1. Light

Wax plum likes the sun, so it should be placed in a place with light during the growing period, but be careful not to be exposed to the sun in summer.

2. Watering

Wax plum is not resistant to water and moisture, so watering should be careful not to have stagnant water, so that it can grow healthily, otherwise it may wither.

3. Soil

According to the growth habits of Prunus mume, the soil selection must be a nutrient soil with loose soil and good drainage, which can promote the growth of Lamei.

4. Pruning

For wax plum, regular pruning can not only maintain the beautiful plant shape, but also promote the growth of the number of flowers, so it is necessary to prune it often.

5. Disease and pest control

Wax plum often occurs some pests and viruses, if pests are found, insecticides should be sprayed immediately, and if virus infection is found, diseased branches should be cut off immediately, which is not only fast but also very effective.

All right, that's what the editor is talking about today. Do you already know the efficacy and function of Lamei blossom? Thank you for your reading!

How to raise potted wax plum blossom, how to cultivate potted wax plum blossom and matters needing attention

Lamei flower, as a kind of flower with high ornamental value, can not only be planted in gardens and courtyards, because the flowers are golden and refreshing, so it is also a very good choice for potted culture at home. There are many flower friends who like to plant bonsai who must have a lot of doubts about how to raise potted preserved plum, so let's take a look at the cultivation methods and precautions of potted wax plum blossom together with the editor.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of potted Prunus mume

How to raise potted plum blossoms? Potted Lamei mainly mastered four measures: shearing, fertilizer, water and insects. Only by mastering the things that should be paid attention to in these four stages, potted preserved plums will certainly expel beautiful flowers.

1. Pruning in due time

After the new branch grows to 2 to 3 pairs of leaves, it is necessary to pick the heart to promote the germination of short and strong flower branches and make the plant shape symmetrical and graceful. Pruning is mostly carried out from March to June and stops 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.

2. Timely fertilization

I believe we all have a preliminary understanding of how to raise potted plum blossoms. Lamei flower is a fertilizer-loving flower, timely fertilization can promote flower bud differentiation and blossom more. For potted Chimonanthus praecox, because the potted soil is limited, the soil should be high in humus, loose and aerated sandy soil. Leaf spreading fertilizer was applied twice in spring and compound fertilizer was applied every 10 days from the end of June to the end of June. The summer day is the period of flower bud differentiation.

It is also the prosperous period of new root growth, and then apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer for 1 or 2 times, at this time, fertilization should be thin and sparse, otherwise it is easy to burn roots. Apply one-time dry fertilizer after cool autumn, apply 40 to 60 grams of rotten dry cake powder in each pot to better enrich the growth of flower buds, and apply organic liquid fertilizer once or twice before and after winter to provide nutrients for flowering. The fertilizer application of wax regret is mainly phosphorus and potassium, and less nitrogen fertilizer is applied, and the general ratio of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen is 2V / L / 0.5. In this way, the flowers of wax plum are big, many and fragrant.

3. Appropriate watering

About how to raise potted plum blossoms, we need to know some characteristics of plum blossoms. Prunus mume blossom is resistant to drought and waterlogging, such as too high moisture, too moist soil, poor plant growth, affecting flower bud differentiation. Therefore, potted plum blossom should keep the soil dry, usually do not water, watering is thoroughly, but "dog days" high temperature season should be more watering, so that flower buds develop normally. Before flowering or flowering, you should pay special attention to appropriate watering. If you water too much, it is easy to drop buds and flowers, but if you have too little water, you will not bloom neatly.

4. Pest control

How to raise potted plum blossoms? If you want to raise potted plum blossoms, pest control is the key, we must maintain ventilation and transparent light. Plum blossom disease mainly comes from anthracnose and spot blight, which usually occurs in late April or early May and is controlled by exchange spraying with 50% carbendazim or 70% topiramate. Aphids do more harm every year, so 500 times the solution of washing powder is used to spray and kill. But plum blossom is sensitive to pesticides such as dimethoate and dichlorvos, so don't use it.

Maintenance of potted Prunus mume during flowering period

1. First calculate the date of promoting flowering. About 20 days before the Spring Festival, the potted plum blossoms should be moved into the greenhouse and should be maintained in a sunny place, and the indoor temperature should be controlled at 10 to 15 degrees. At the same time, spray water on and around the flower branches every day to keep the branches moist. Should be moderate in watering, if too much watering, not conducive to the growth of plum blossoms, easy to cause rotten roots and buds, such as insufficient watering, will make the buds dry.

2. Secondly, we should grasp the temperature and flowering time. In the week before the Spring Festival, if the buds are still small, move the flowerpot to a medium temperature of 15 to 25 degrees to manage. If you blossom ahead of time before the Spring Festival, the temperature around the potted flowers will be reduced by about 10 degrees, and there will be little sunlight to control moisture. Also, moderate fertilization should be applied. In order to make plum blossoms bright and fragrant, appropriate fertilization should be applied. Thin organic liquid fertilizer is usually applied every 7 to 10 days, while potassium dihydrogen phosphate and plant oxytocin are sprayed on the buds every 7 days.

3. Plum promotes flowering, which is treated by the following methods: potted preserved plum with strong branches in early June is treated with chicken dung for about 10 days, and the bud is as big as rapeseed. When chicken manure was applied again in late June, the buds gradually increased. By mid-July, the leaves fell off one after another and began to spray water four times a day. A shade was built in mid-July and opened at 5 p.m.

After low temperature treatment in late August, the temperature gradually decreased from 12 ℃ to 4 ℃, and then increased from 4 ℃ to 12 ℃. After 16 days of low temperature treatment, the buds developed into round and bluish yellow. It was taken out from the freezer in mid-September. 1 pot is placed between 28 and 30 ℃. Spray water once every hour in sunny day and once every 2 hours at night; another basin is placed under the curtain and sprayed 4 times during the day. In the middle of September, the buds of the two plum plants were fat, round and yellow. it contains buds at the end of September and blossoms successively in early October. Pay attention to fertilization and irrigation.
