Potted plum blossom watering principle

For potted plum blossoms, watering must be timely, and the amount of water should be appropriate. Follow the principle of no drying, no watering and thorough watering. When watering, the basin soil is most suitable to be wet, not too wet, let alone ponding. Too dry basin soil will cause the green leaves to fall off, and too wet basin soil will cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. In addition, the best water for plum blossom is rainwater, or store tap water for a day or two before use

Water and fertilizer management of potted plum blossom in different periods

Flowering period after spring

During this period, plum blossom needs to turn the basin for soil. You can apply some sun dried chicken manure and pond mud at the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer. After turning the basin, pour water once, and then keep the soil moist

Plum blossom germination stage

From April to may, when plum blossoms are sprouting, it is necessary to strengthen the management of water and fertilizer. Fertilizer should be applied every half a month, preferably by watering chicken manure or compound fertilizer. If the growth of new shoots is poor, compound fertilizer and water shall be applied in time, and the concentration shall be controlled at 20%. If the pot soil is dry before fertilization, loosen the soil first and then apply fertilizer, which is conducive to better absorption of nutrients

Flower bud stage

June is a rainy season, and the plum blossom is pregnant with flower buds. It needs to be watered sparingly, and the basin soil is suitable for a little dry. When the new branch of plum blossom grows to 25 cm long, it is necessary to stop watering, and then water it when it is wilting, and the amount of water should not be too much

High temperature period in July and August

At this time, the temperature is very high and sufficient water is needed, so watering should be sufficient. Watering can be done once in the morning and once in the afternoon

Autumn and winter period

During this period, plum blossom flower buds have been formed, keep the basin soil moist, and apply thin liquid fertilizer two or three times. After autumn leaves fall, reduce the amount of water, just water once in two or three days, and stop fertilization. Watering should be controlled in winter, and the amount of water can be appropriately increased before the flower buds bloom in early spring
