To understand these disease prevention methods, how to deal with the growing branches of Prunus mume?

When the triangular plum does not blossom, the branches and leaves often grow too luxuriantly, so is it necessary to keep the branches that grow too well on the plant? If you cut it off, what will you do with the long branches that grow vigorously and grow strong? It is a pity to throw it away directly, after all, it has caused a waste of materials.

First of all, it is very necessary to cut off the overgrown branches, which can not only save nutrients, but also make nutrients more concentrated on the supply of flowers and flowers, which is beneficial to promote the flowering of triangular plum. It is a pity to throw away the sturdy branches cut directly, so we have to think about how to make use of these resources.

On the other hand, the overgrown branches cut during the flowering period of triangular plum are usually not suitable for cutting in the same season. After all, triangular plum blossoms in winter, the winter temperature is very low, even if cuttings, cuttings are more difficult to survive, at least rooting and sprouting is more difficult. It's not enough, we might as well soak the cut branches in water at this time.

Put the branches in the water for a period of time, the original we are mainly to see if the branches will grow new buds. If the branch can sprout smoothly, then we will be lucky, then we can transplant it into the flowerpot, so as to achieve the purpose of breeding small potted seedlings of triangular plum, so that we can get more potted triangular plum.

However, if you want a branch to germinate smoothly after soaking in water, it is generally necessary to cut the branch into a stem segment of about 10 centimeters in length, while the more immature part of the tail of the branch can be left out. Because in hot weather with triangulated plum twig cuttings, it is easier to cause rot, resulting in cutting failure.

After cutting the long branches of triangulated plum into small segments, we have to remove all the leaves on the stem segment, of course, we can also keep 1 or 2 pieces. But if we keep 1-2 leaves, we usually need to cut each leaf in half, which is more conducive to cuttage survival.
