When to Sow wintersweet Seeds
Answering netizens' questions about when to sow wintersweet seeds and the topic of planting and caring for wintersweet, here is a comprehensive introduction.
Wax plum blossoms are a highly ornamental flower species, mainly produced in the humid and hot southern regions of our country. Wax plum flowers have a long blooming period, and the petals are mostly yellowish-brown. Wax plum flowers are heliophilous plants, but they can also tolerate shade to a certain extent. Wax plum flowers prefer a slightly dry environment and should not be cultivated in overly moist conditions. Next, I will introduce how to grow wax plum flowers from four aspects: soil, temperature, water, and fertilizer.
One, Soil
Wax plum plants like fertile soil, so the soil should be fertile and loose. Before planting, it is recommended to choose well-draining light loam soil, slightly acidic is better. An appropriate amount of humus can be added to the soil to improve its fertility and promote the growth of wax plum.
Two, Temperature
Temperature greatly affects the blooming of wax plum flowers. To promote the blooming of wax plum, low-temperature treatment should be applied in late August, gradually lowering the temperature to 4℃, and after 14 days of low-temperature treatment, gradually raise the temperature back to 16℃. From mid-September, wax plums should be placed in an environment of 30℃, and by mid-October, they can bloom.
Three, Water
Wax plum is relatively drought-resistant but害怕 flooding. In maintenance, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of "no watering when dry, and watering thoroughly when watering," to ensure that wax plum does not rot roots due to excessive moisture, affecting germination and differentiation; nor can it cause bud drop and twig shrinkage due to overly dry soil. It is important to note that during the midsummer high temperatures, more watering is required than in general seasons to ensure the normal growth of wax plum.
Four, Fertilizer
Wax plum is a plant that likes fertilizer. When fertilizing, it is important to choose fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content, apply less nitrogen fertilizer to prevent bud drop. Before the start of the dog days, fertilize three times a month, and then apply one to two times before and after winter, which is beneficial for producing flowers that are abundant, well-shaped, and fragrant.
