1、 How

1. Sufficient sunshine: during the growth period, the light must be sufficient. Sufficient sunshine can promote photosynthesis, so as to accumulate nutrients and maintain the later growth. If there is less light, the growth will become bad, and will affect flowering and fruit bearing

2. Keep the temperature: the temperature suitable for the growth of hawthorn is between 18 ℃ - 32 ℃. The temperature should not be too high or too low, otherwise it is not good for the growth. In summer, pay attention to shading and spray water appropriately to reduce the temperature. In winter, take thermal insulation measures, move to the indoor for breeding, and wait until March next year

3. Water and fertilizer management: hawthorn trees are relatively drought resistant, and the watering times should not be too many. When the basin soil is dry, watering should be carried out thoroughly every time. Hawthorn has a great demand for fertilizer. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be supplemented during the growth period in combination with watering

4. Reasonable pruning: Hawthorn maintenance also needs to pay attention to good pruning, which is divided into summer pruning and winter pruning. Flowers can be thinly cut in summer. In winter, it is mainly to prune branches, remove dead and diseased branches, and prune over dense branches. Pruning can reduce nutrient consumption, increase light transmittance of plants, and prevent diseases and pests

2、 Can you keep it at home

Hawthorn can be raised at home. It has no toxicity and is not much ornamental. It can also produce edible hawthorn fruit
