How do plum blossoms spend the winter
In the cold winter, when most plants enter a dormant period, plum blossoms that are arrogant and frosty have ushered in the most critical bud stage in their lives. As the first of the top ten famous flowers in China, the maintenance of plum blossoms in winter is directly related to the quality of flowering in the coming year. This article will systematically analyze the complete maintenance plan for plum blossoms through winter and help plum lovers master scientific management methods. The three core precision fertilization strategies for plum blossom maintenance in winter require continuous nutrient supply during the bud pregnancy period. It is recommended to apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (diluted concentration of 0.2%) every 7-10 days. Liquid fertilizer is easier to absorb, and combined with foliar spraying can enhance cold resistance. It should be noted that the proportion of nitrogen fertilizer used should not exceed 1/3 of the total amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to avoid excessive growth of branches and consuming nutrients. Intelligent water management Winter watering should adopt the "three-look principles": look at the soil (3cm of the surface layer is dry), look at the sky (continuous sunny days), and look at the temperature (higher than 5℃). It is recommended to use the immersion basin method to supply water, and each replenishment needs to be completed at noon. In the northern region, pine needles can be covered on the surface of basin soil to keep warm and regulate humidity. Scientific pruning system Winter pruning is divided into two key stages: shaping pruning is carried out before the beginning of winter to retain the strong branches of the year; bud thinning is carried out during the budding period, and each branch retains 3-5 full flower buds. Apply wound healing agent promptly after pruning, and spray brassinolide to enhance stress resistance. Advanced maintenance skills: To plant plants in the ground, 15cm of soil needs to be placed at the root and neck to prevent cold, and potted plants should be moved to the lee and sun. When the temperature continues to fall below-5℃, temporary windbreaks can be built. Special reminder: Avoid using plastic film to cover directly, and use breathable non-woven materials.
Mastering these key management points for plum blossoms in winter can not only ensure the safe winter of plants, but also cultivate ideal plum blossoms with full flower shapes and strong aroma. It is recommended to flexibly adjust the maintenance plan based on the characteristics of the regional climate and regularly observe the condition of the plants so that the plum blossoms that are alone in the cold can show the most beautiful posture.
