Ancient poets often compare plum with snow in winter, which shows that in ancient times, plum was thought to be unafraid of the cold. All along, plum blossoms have always been regarded as a symbol of strength and arrogance. Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, called Chimonanthus a cold plum, and there was a sentence of "knowing to visit the cold plum across the wild pond". One of Wang Anshi's Mei is even more well-known.

How about the wax plum blossom?

There is a saying about the plum blossom, called "the immortal wax plum blossom", which fully shows that the drought tolerance of the wax plum blossom is very strong, so the wax plum bonsai is insensitive to the need for water. Generally speaking, in spring and autumn, if the basin soil is not dry, it will not be watered; once in the morning and evening in summer. During the flowering period of the plum blossom, it should not be watered too often, otherwise it will cause the wax plum to fall.

Wax plum blossoms like fertilizer, but not too thick. The fertilization time is generally from April to November, liquid fertilizer is applied once a month, and fertilization can be increased once in late June to make nutritional preparations for flower bud differentiation.

If you want to ensure a good ornamental of preserved plum bonsai, you need to prune branches. The pruning method of preserved plum bonsai depends on the shape of the tree decided in advance. Taking the tree-shaped pruning method as an example, a sturdy branch was selected at the young seedling stage to form the trunk, and after the trunk grew to the desired height, the tree crown was formed by the treatment of the reserved dry branch, basic branch or side branch.

The above is the introduction of the plum blossom. I hope you like it.
