How to spend the winter with bonsai plum blossoms

Plum blossom usually blossoms in winter and spring, because it blossoms very fragrant and lovely, so for ordinary users, it is often more suitable for family potted cultivation. But in the eyes of bonsai masters, plum blossoms are good materials for making bonsai. However, due to the cold weather and low temperature in winter, it often brings some challenges to the bonsai plum blossom in winter, so how do bonsai plum blossoms spend the winter?

If you want to make bonsai plants safe and smooth through winter, cold protection and warmth is the first priority. The same is true for the plum blossom bonsai, because once the plum blossom is frozen in winter, it will not only affect the formation of flower bud and bud gestation, but also cause many adverse conditions such as bud dropping and bud wilting, thus affecting its normal flowering and even inhibiting its growth.

Although plum blossom has the characteristics of relatively cold resistance, even if placed in the outdoor environment in southern China, the original usually does not have frost damage, but it is still more prone to frost injury in extreme weather or in the north of our country. Therefore, it is suggested that it is best to move it to a warm indoor environment for maintenance in winter, which can not only avoid frostbite, but also make it blossom smoothly.

Of course, in order to keep the bonsai plum flowers safe and sound and keep them blooming as scheduled in winter, in addition to keeping warm and cold, we should also let them bask in the sun and water them scientifically as much as possible. Due to the low light intensity in winter, usually relatively soft, and plum blossoms prefer light, especially in the flowering period, so it is necessary to ensure adequate light, which is very helpful to prevent cold and promote flowering.

The light in winter is of great significance to the flowering and cold protection of plum bonsai. More sun exposure can not only increase the temperature in the basin soil and avoid plant freezing, but also accelerate the synthesis of photosynthesis and nutrition, thus better promote plant growth. It is very important to promote flower bud differentiation and bud pregnancy of plum blossoms. Therefore, we must let the plum blossom bask in the sun more in winter.

In winter watering, it is necessary to do not dry do not water, and even watering should be appropriate, but cause too much watering, otherwise it will cause rotting roots or buds. However, we should not leave the plant in a state of drought without watering for a long time, otherwise the bud may wilt and fall off before it opens because of dehydration. And the water temperature should be close to or equal to the ambient temperature to avoid a large temperature difference between the water temperature and the ambient temperature, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the overwintering of plants.

And in winter, the air humidity is often relatively low and the environment is relatively dry, so in addition to keeping the basin soil a little moist, we also need to spray more foliar water and surface water to improve the relative humidity of the air. so as to create a more suitable humidity environment for beautification. While the light, temperature and humidity are guaranteed, the plant can not only avoid freezing and make it through the winter safely and smoothly, but also effectively promote flowering and improve the quality of flowers.
