How to grow plum blossom in potted plants

Plum blossom in addition to big trees, usually potted, cultivate bonsai, but also can develop Cang Lao Meizhuang. The conservation method of potted plum blossom is different from other potted plants, so it should be cultivated and managed according to its characteristics.

Planting method of potted plum blossom

Potted plum blossom is mainly grafted and cultured, and cutting and budding are commonly used. Use hairy peaches or apricots for anvil. Apricot tree old dry skin red, grafted red plum, flower skin color coordination.

Splice

Cut off the rootstock that is more than one or two years old, and cut off the upper part of the rootstock at the end of March (in the cold room) or in early April (in the open field). The scion uses annual strong branches, cut to grow 5 Mel 6 cm, and leave at least 3 buds. The outer sides of the last bud are slanted downwards into a duck's bill. Open a 3 cm long interface on one side of the rootstock. Insert the scion into the cut of the rootstock to form a close combination, and then bind it with plastic tape. Or stick it with polyester tape. Finally, the scion is covered with a small plastic bag, and the mouth of the bag is tied below the interface, which can be checked frequently through the film. After survival, remove the bindings.

Bud grafting

Bud grafting is carried out from August to September, and the "T" shape connection method is generally used. First cut 1-1.5 cm above the ear bud, then cut it forward and downward from 1 cm below the bud, and gently peel off the wood inside the cortex of the bud (some with wood buds in recent years), including the population. Cut the rootstock 5 meters from the soil, then cut down from the center of the cut, showing a "T" shape, then gently peel off the cortex and insert the prepared scion into the cortex of the "T" mouth. The buds should be solid, and the upper end should be closely combined with the upper end of the "D" mouth of the rootstock, and finally tied up with plastic film strip or polyester tape. Check the survival situation a week later, if the petiole falls immediately and the bud is green and full, it means survival. In the following spring, the top of the rootstock will be cut off at the top of the rootstock facing 5mur6m, and the scion will germinate quickly. after that, pay attention to cutting the rootstock bud, and when you change the pot or plant it on the pot, you can plant it downward and deeply, so that the interface can be lowered as far as possible, and tie it up according to the growth trend to form a beautiful shape.

Preparation of basin soil

The bottom of the basin is padded with tiles and stones to facilitate drainage, then loaded into the thicker-grained soil, and then planted with plum piles to bury the soil to compact the roots.

Watering time

It is not suitable to water the pot, once a day after 3-4 days, once a day after 7-10 days, and twice a day from May to August after survival. The soil should not be too wet, do not burst water.

Fertilizer application

When putting leaves, there should be sufficient fertilizer and water, and rarefied liquid fertilizer should be applied once a month to promote luxuriant branches and leaves. Fertilizer and water should be controlled when the branches grow to 20-25 cm. Topdressing was applied twice in late summer and early autumn to promote flower bud differentiation. After each fertilization, attention should be paid to timely watering and loosening the soil in order to keep the basin soil loose and beneficial to the development of root system.

Temperature, light

Plum blossoms like a sunny and well-ventilated environment and cannot tolerate long-term shade. Only by giving sufficient light to obtain the conditions for photosynthesis, can we obtain sufficient nutrition, so that we can grow healthily and produce many and large bright flowers.
