The wintersweet should be watered in time after withering

Most domestic potted Chimonanthus praecox are placed indoors for flower appreciation. In the later stage of flowering, the plant should be moved outdoors and placed in a warm place facing the sun. After the pot soil is dry, it should be watered as usual. If it is not dry, it must be watered thoroughly. Remove the failed flowers in time to avoid spreading on the ground and breeding bacteria.

Turn the basin in time after the plum blossom withers

For domestic potted Chimonanthus chinensis, there is less soil in the flower pot, and nutrition is easy to be exhausted. It is necessary to turn the pot and change the soil regularly, usually every 1 to 2 years. The time should be when the branches and leaves sprout in March and April, that is, 2 months after the flower falls behind.

After taking Chimonanthus praecox out of the original basin, peel off 30% to 50% of the old soil on the mud mass, then cut the long root whiskers, cut off the withered, overlapping, overgrown and crossed branches, move them into a new basin, and add new soil (vegetable garden soil or artificial culture soil) and base fertilizer (organic compound fertilizer is preferred). Pour enough water after turning the basin and put it in a cool place.

Wintersweet can be grafted and propagated after withering

When Chimonanthus praecox doesn't blossom, it can adopt grafting propagation method to grow several trees. After flower withering, select the branches with better growth, strengthen maintenance, and cut off the top of the branches to concentrate nutrients in the middle of the branches. After one month, cut off the branches and cut them into sections to slightly expose the xylem, insert them on the rootstock, bind them with plastic tape after connection, and then seal the incision with heaped soil. After about one month, loosen the sealing soil and check whether they survive or not.
