Cultivation method of crabapple bonsai

As one of the famous traditional flowers in China, Begonia bonsai is very popular among gardening enthusiasts for its graceful form and colorful flowers. If you want to cultivate a healthy and prosperous crabapple bonsai, you need to master a scientific maintenance system. This paper will systematically analyze the six core points of conservation, from environmental regulation, water and fertilizer management to pest and disease control. Basic environmental control temperature and humidity accurately control the optimal growth temperature range of crabapple flowers is 10-20℃, and full sunshine can be accepted in spring and autumn. In summer, sunshade nets are needed to block off strong light, and air humidity is increased to 60%-70% by spraying in the morning and evening. When moving indoors in winter, it should be placed at the southbound bay window to keep the night temperature no lower than 5 ° C. Light cycle management The growing season requires outdoor "sunbathing" twice a week, and a scattered light environment before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m. is selected. It is recommended to use full-spectrum plant lights for filling light in winter. Filling light for 4 hours a day can significantly promote flower bud differentiation. Water and fertilizer management strategies Three principles of scientific watering Implement the "see dry and wet" method in spring and autumn, and wait until 2 cm of the basin soil surface is dry before pouring thoroughly. In summer, the "morning and evening spray + noon replenishment" mode is adopted to avoid watering during high temperatures. Winter enters the semi-dormant period, maintain the principle of "better dry than wet" and replenish water every 15-20 days. The nutrient supply plan applies decomposed soybean cake water (diluted 500 times) every 10 days during the growth period, and applies potassium dihydrogen phosphate (800 times solution) during the bud appearing period. Special reminder: Stop fertilizing plum during the rainy season, and wash the leaves with clear water after fertilization. In winter, bone meal is buried as base fertilizer, and the amount is 1/20 of the volume of the basin soil. Key points for disease prevention and control in pest and disease prevention system: Use 2000 times of 25% triadimefon in the early stage of brown spot disease, and spray 800 times of mancozeb for leaf spot disease. Coal pollution disease focuses on preventing aphids, and it is recommended to use 1000 times matrine solution every month to prevent them. The pest management plan uses 1500 times imidacloprid liquid during the aphid outbreak period, and scale insects are wrapped and treated with mineral oil emulsion. Longicorn beetle larvae can use a syringe to inject 50 times of dichlorvos into the worm holes, and plug the holes after injection.

Through systematic maintenance and management, crabapple bonsai can not only maintain its beautiful shape, but also achieve annual flowering. It is recommended to carry out regular styling pruning, cut short long branches in time after blooming in spring, and remove dense branches in autumn. Mastering these key technologies, your Begonia bonsai will surely become the finishing touch of your home space.
