So how to trim the tiger thorn plum?

For pruning, flower friends are more likely to prune because the plant is too large, so they have no choice but to prune. In fact, pruning has the habit of blooming at the top of the branch, so pruning can promote branches and achieve the purpose of more flowering. Pay attention to wearing gloves when pruning.

Although pruning can promote branching and blossom more, the beauty of plant type can not be ignored. Pruning is mostly carried out in the peak growing season from June to July after flowering season. For pruned branches, flower friends can be used as cuttings to breed new potted prunes.

For the seedlings of Prunus mume, pruning should be based on the formation of a skeleton as soon as possible. When the seedling grows to 10 cm, it can cut off the top part of the branch and promote the lateral branch; later, when the lateral branch grows to a certain height, cut off the top of the branch and promote the lateral branch again to form a basic backbone branch frame.

When Chimonanthus przewalskii has 4 or 5 branches, it is necessary to design a long-term training goal in advance, or tie it into a ball, or a flower screen, or a flower basket, etc., and then set up a pole support according to the set goal, properly draw and bind the branches, so as to make it develop in a directional way.

The flowering period of tiger thorn plum is relatively long, the flowers are bright and lovely, from the above summed up the breeding method is very easy to cultivate plants, the layout of home windowsill, balcony and other places are more appropriate.
