Have you ever seen tiger thorn plum? It is a relatively common plant and is usually used as an decoration in the home. The flowers are bright red in color and bloom in winter and spring. Today we are going to talk about the taboos about breeding tiger thorn plum in winter. If you are interested, read on!

1. Lighting

1. Light

No matter what season it is, it needs sunlight. Especially when the temperature is low and it is in the flowering period, it is usually placed on a windowsill with good lighting conditions. The light must be ensured so that the flowers can bloom very brightly and the flowering time will be relatively long.

Be careful not to let the light fail to meet the needs, otherwise the color of its flowers will be lighter. If it is kept in an environment with insufficient light for a long time, it may not be able to bloom, especially in winter, and its leaves will fall off in large numbers.

2. Temperature

< p> When raising tiger thorn plum in winter, you must pay attention to heat preservation. If the temperature can be controlled above 15 degrees, it will continue to bloom throughout the winter. The temperature should not be lower than 0 degrees, otherwise it will freeze to death. If the temperature is low and the light is insufficient, its leaves will fall off and enter a state of suspended growth and dormancy. This will make people mistakenly think that it is dead and discarded. In fact, when the weather warms up in spring, it will still grow. Its branches continue to sprout leaves and bloom!

3. Moisture

< p>Tiger thorn plum grows relatively slowly, generally it can only grow 10 centimeters a year, so it does not need and does not like heavy fertilizer, but when potting or repotting, you can put some horseshoes at the bottom of the pot as a As for base fertilizer, during the flowering period in winter, thin liquid fertilizer needs to be applied once every half a month. Do not use fertilizer with too high a concentration, otherwise it may be burned to death by thick fertilizer!

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the whole plant of Tiger Thorn Plum has thorns, and the white latex in the stem is poisonous. Therefore, when growing the plant at home, you must pay attention to the place where it is placed, and do not hurt children. , to avoid poisoning.
