Cultivation methods of red-leaf plum flowers
1. Soil

1. Soil

Red-leaf plum blossom has strong adaptability to soil, but it grows best in fertile, deep, well-drained clayey neutral or acidic soil, and is not tolerant to alkali. You can choose gravel soil or clay. Avoid continuous cropping, otherwise it will lead to the degradation of varieties, dull color of flowers and slow growth.

2. Temperature

It is a temperature-loving plant, and 15 to 25 degrees Celsius is most suitable for its growth. When the temperature is extremely low in winter, you can wrap a cold-proof layer around the stems.

3. Light

It likes sunlight and should maintain sufficient light all year round. Do not plant in the shade or under large trees, otherwise growth may be stunted or even withered and yellow.

4. Fertilization

It likes fertilizers, so some farmyard manure should be applied around it before winter every year. However, do not apply too much fertilizer, otherwise the color of the leaves and flowers may be dim, and their ornamental value will be greatly reduced.

5. Watering

A slightly humid environment is beneficial to its health, and sufficient watering is required during the growth period. During the rainy season, there is no need to water because of heavy rainfall. At the same time, drainage work should also be done to prevent root rot and death.

VI. Precautions

1. The surrounding weeds should be removed in time to prevent their nutrients from being robbed.

2. Pay attention to pests such as bag moths and red spider mites. A small amount of pesticides should be sprayed every year during pest-prone periods for control.
