1. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

Because winter happens to be the bud-pregnancy period of plum blossoms, it needs more nutrients to nurture flower buds and thereby bloom. Therefore, at this time, some phosphate fertilizer should be applied to it every 7-10 days to increase the number of flower buds it grows. It is best to choose flower fertilizer in liquid form, which will allow it to absorb the nutrients faster and be more beneficial to its flowering.

2. Control watering

After winter, the frequency of watering should be appropriately reduced. Because if you water it too much at this time, it will not only easily cause it to be frozen or waterlogged, but it may also cause its flower buds to fall early. So at this time, it is best to give water every 10-15 days. If the flower soil is not dry, do not water again.

In It can be pruned in winter and during the budding period. When winter comes, you can prune off old branches and dry branches on the plant. This can reduce nutrient consumption, which is not only beneficial to winter, but also beneficial to bud pregnancy. During the budding stage, you can cut off some of the flower buds growing on the plant to allow the remaining flower buds to open better.
