1. Base fertilizer

2. Top dressing

Plum blossoms need to be fertilized when planting and repotting them. The fertilizer is mostly made of decomposed manure, which is usually applied to the bottom of the pot to continuously provide nutrients. In spring, topdress cake fertilizer should be applied appropriately to promote the growth and development of leaves. In summer, apply cake fertilizer and bone meal to provide more comprehensive nutrition. In autumn, replace it with bone meal to promote the differentiation of flower buds and prepare the plants for winter.

1. Base fertilizer

Plum blossoms need to be fertilized with sufficient base fertilizer when they are planted. In addition, base fertilizer should be applied to the soil after the flowers fade. Usually, decomposed manure residue is used as fertilizer. This kind of fertilizer has a long effective period, can continuously provide nutrients, is very helpful for the growth of plants, and is not easy to cause fertilizer damage. Usually, base fertilizer is applied to the bottom of the pot and covered with soil to allow the fertilizer to slowly spread.

2. Topdressing

1. Spring top dressing: Plum blossoms need appropriate top dressing in spring, usually when the branches and leaves are growing, and cake fertilizer is used as fertilizer. Cake fertilizer contains a lot of nitrogen, which is very helpful for the growth of leaves and branches. It is usually applied once every half a month, and attention is paid to controlling the concentration. If too much cake fertilizer is used, it will not only cause fertilizer damage, but also cause the plant to grow elongated, affecting its normal development.

2. Top dressing in summer: The flower bud differentiation period of plum blossoms is during In summer, fertilization is usually carried out in June. The fertilizer at this time must be balanced in nutrients. In addition to cake fertilizer, an appropriate amount of bone meal needs to be added, which can supplement phosphorus and potassium elements and help the differentiation of flower buds. In order to allow better absorption of nutrients, an appropriate amount of water should be poured after fertilizing.

3. Top dressing in autumn: By October, the growth of plant branches and leaves has basically stopped, and there is no point in continuing to supplement nitrogen fertilizer. At this time, only bone meal fertilizer can be applied. The increase in phosphorus and potassium elements is also helpful for the plant to survive the winter. Help, usually once every half month.

4. Foliar fertilizer: The above three fertilizers are all In addition to what is applied to the soil, you can also apply a little foliar fertilizer. Foliar fertilizer is generally a water-soluble fertilizer, which can be mixed with water and sprayed on the leaves. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are usually used, and other trace elements can also be supplemented.
