How to grow crabapple in autumn

1. Reduce watering

In summer, you should water the crabapple more frequently to prevent it from becoming dehydrated. After entering autumn, the frequency of watering needs to be reduced. Because its demand for water is lower at this time, if you do not reduce watering, it may become waterlogged. Specifically, it is best to water it every 4-6 days, and wait until the soil is dry before watering again.

2. Ensure lighting

After autumn, the intensity of light will decrease, and it is necessary to move it to a place with stronger light for maintenance. Because it is relatively light-loving, doing so can increase its efficiency in synthesizing nutrients, thereby speeding up its growth.

3. Maintain ventilation

After autumn, good ventilation conditions need to be maintained. This will not only reduce the probability of it getting sick, but also provide it with flowing, healthy air, allowing it to grow better.

4. Proper pruning

Because it grows relatively fast, some long branches will appear that extend beyond the crown. At this time, they need to be cut off in time to prevent them from consuming too much nutrients and affecting the growth of other healthy branches. In addition, before winter, you can properly prune some flower branches, which can reduce their consumption of nutrients and allow the plants to survive the winter better.
