In addition, good light needs to be ensured for normal maintenance, and the soil should be in a slightly moist state. Propagation is mostly carried out by cutting and layering methods.

1. Planting method

It is best to plant plum blossoms in autumn. At this time, there is no need to deal with the seeds too complicatedly, and the germination rate is very high. Usually, the seeds are picked after the fruit is ripe, but you can also buy better seeds. Prepare fertile soil with good air permeability and disinfect it for later use. Soak the seeds in warm water, then take them out and store them in the sand for 15-20 days. Finally, plant the seeds and cover them with a layer of 3cm of soil.

2. Maintenance methods

1 , Sunshine: When maintaining plum blossoms, you should try to choose a location with good light. If it is placed in a dark place, its normal growth and flowering may be affected.

2. Moisture: The potting soil for cultivation should not be too moist. When replenishing water, it should not be dry or watered, and it should be watered thoroughly when watering. It should be covered with rain on rainy days, as it is easy for water to accumulate after being caught in the rain.

3. Reproduction Method

1 , Cuttings: Choose strong branches with a length of 10-15cm, and the time should be chosen in spring and autumn. Prepare breathable sandy loam soil, insert the paper strip 1/2 or 1/3 of the depth, and then water it thoroughly.

2. Layering: This method is suitable for small-scale propagation. In early spring, dig a trench next to the mother plant and select branches with good growth. Girdle the bottom of its curved position, then press it into the dug trench and bury it with soil. When it takes root, just prune it and transplant it.
