Cultivation methods and precautions of red plum trees Precautions for transplanting red plum trees

The red plum tree is relatively easy to maintain. The red plum tree has a relatively low demand for water. During maintenance, if watering is too frequent, it will cause excessive water accumulation, causing the red plum tree to lose vitality and die. It can be watered once every 7 days.

How to grow red plum trees

1. Pot soil

When caring for the plants, you need to use soil with good air permeability and drainage capabilities . It is best to change the soil after 1-2 years of cultivation and ensure the integrity of the soil structure.

2. Watering

The red plum tree is relatively drought-resistant and has a relatively low demand for water. During normal care, it does not require a lot of watering, just keep the soil moist .

3. Lighting

The red plum tree must be protected from direct sunlight during its growth process, especially in the scorching sun in summer. Direct sunlight will burn the leaves of the red plum tree, so proper shading is needed.

4. Fertilization

The red plum tree has a relatively large demand for nutrients during its growth period. Fertilizer can be applied once every 14 days , but high concentrations should not be applied.

Red plum tree maintenance precautions

When caring for red plum trees, pay attention to ventilation , otherwise they are more susceptible to diseases and pests, and ensure proper ventilation. Because red plum trees are very susceptible to powdery mildew in a high temperature and unventilated environment, if unfortunately infected, the diseased leaves and branches should be cleaned up in time to prevent secondary infection.

Precautions for transplanting red plum trees

1. Root disinfection

When transplanting plum blossoms, the roots need to be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for 30 minutes before being taken out, which can disinfect and sterilize them. Alternatively, the roots can be soaked in a solution of carbendazim diluted with water , which can also achieve the effect of disinfection and sterilization.

2. Pot soil selection

Precautions for transplanting plum blossoms: Coarse sand or gravel needs to be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot to increase ventilation and drainage capabilities. The soil for cultivation can be garden soil or humus soil . Adding some animal manure to the soil is very long-lasting and weak fertilizer, which can supplement nutrients.

3. Water the roots

After transplanting, the soil needs to be fully watered , and then placed in a cool environment. No watering is required for a short period of time. After the seedling period is over , when the soil becomes dry, water it for the second time, and then resume the frequency of watering .

4. Avoid fertilizing

Do not fertilize during the period of seedling acclimatization , as the nutrients in the soil are sufficient for the growth of plum blossoms. Otherwise, plum blossoms are prone to fertilizer damage. When new buds grow, apply a certain amount of thin fertilizer and bury it near the roots. Fertilization does not need to be too frequent, once a month is enough.

5. Transplanting in spring and autumn

When transplanting, you need to choose a suitable season and climate to increase the chance of survival. Transplanting can be done in spring and autumn . When transplanting in summer, avoid high temperatures and strong light. The temperature in winter is too cold. If the roots are easily frostbitten after transplanting, avoid transplanting in winter.
