How to Cultivate梅花 (Plum Blossom) Bonsai
This article introduces the cultivation and maintenance tips for梅花 (Plum Blossom) bonsai. Let's take a look together.
Red plum bonsai produces particularly beautiful flowers. To cultivate them well, it requires a good soil environment, preferably a mixture of humus soil, sandy soil, and organic fertilizer. Additionally, ample sunlight, suitable temperature, and proper pruning are necessary to grow beautiful red plum bonsai. Below, we will introduce how to care for red plum bonsai in terms of soil, temperature, sunlight, and pruning.
1. Soil
The soil environment for red plum bonsai growth mainly includes three parts: humus soil, sandy soil, and organic fertilizer. Mixing these three parts in the right proportions can make the potting soil both fertile and loose, providing a comfortable environment for the red plum bonsai.
2. Temperature
Red plum has a strong adaptability to temperature, and the most suitable temperature for its growth is around 25°C. Of course, the temperature level has a certain effect on the flowering period of red plum. The relationship between them is: when the temperature is slightly lower than 25°C, it will prolong the flowering period; conversely, it will shorten it.
3. Sunlight and Watering
Red plum enjoys sunlight, so it should be placed in a sunny location. When watering, it is important to avoid积水 (standing water). There is no need to water when the soil in the pot is not dry. Only water when the soil is completely dry, and make sure to water thoroughly at that time.
4. Pruning Branches
Red plum branches have strong growth and pruning tolerance. The current year's branches can form flower buds, so pruning should be done once a year. When the red plum flowers are about to fade, remove dense and weak branches, leaving 2-3 buds at the base of each branch.
