How to raise wintersweet flowers in spring
When the spring breeze blows on your face, the maintenance of wintersweet has entered a critical period. As the last fragrance guardian in winter, wintersweet needs special care in spring to maintain its strong vitality. Mastering scientific maintenance methods can not only quickly restore the plants, but also accumulate sufficient nutrients for the next year's flowering. Precise moisture control is the core element of spring maintenance of wintersweet. The "three-look" watering method is used: look at the soil state, when the topsoil is white and hardened, replenish water; second, look at the weather changes, stop watering on rainy days; third, look at the plant shape, immediately replenish water when the leaves are slightly curled. It is recommended to complete watering before 10 a.m., keep the soil moisture between 40% and 60%, and extend the interval between each watering to 3-4 days. Intelligent temperature management establishes temperature gradient management: maintain 15-18℃ in early spring, increase to 20-23℃ in mid-spring, and control no more than 25℃ in late spring. The northern region needs to guard against late spring cold, and plants can be covered with non-woven fabrics when the temperature drops sharply. It is recommended to set up wind barriers in rainy areas in the south to reduce damage to buds caused by cold wind. The scientific fertilization plan implements the "three-stage" fertilization method: applying decomposed soybean cake fertilizer (1:50 dilution) during the germination period, adding potassium dihydrogen phosphate (0.2% concentration) during the leaf expansion period, and supplementing bone meal organic fertilizer after flowering. Pay special attention to the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application. Apply fertilizer no more than twice a month. Apply fertilizer to newly planted plants should be delayed until new roots germinate before applying fertilizer. Dynamic light adjustment adopts a progressive lighting method: full sunshine maintenance in early spring, with a cumulative light of 8 hours/day; at the end of spring, a sunshade net is set to filter strong light and retain 60% direct light. Potted wintersweet turns 45 degrees every 10 days to ensure that the plants receive even light. Garden planting requires trimming the surrounding obstructions and maintaining a transparent space of more than 3 meters.
Mastering the essence of these spring maintenance, wintersweet will show a strong growth trend. Regularly observe the status of the plants, adjust maintenance strategies in a timely manner, and cooperate with appropriate pruning and shaping, your wintersweet will surely bloom more gorgeous flowers in the next winter. Remember that the quality of spring management directly determines the growth throughout the year, and careful care at this moment will surely harvest the trees and flowers in the future.
