How to grow cherry blossoms well

1. Soil

Cherry blossoms are suitable for growing in sandy soil, and it is best to choose fertile, well-ventilated and well-drained soil.

2. Reasonable watering

Water the plant in appropriate amounts according to the season and size. The soil should not be too moist, and water should not accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot, causing leaves to fall off and affecting flowering, and in severe cases, the plant may die. After watering, you can loosen the soil appropriately to keep it moist.

3. Fertilization

Cherry blossoms do not require too much fertilizer. Generally, it is best to use acidic fertilizer. Fertilize twice a year, after flowering and in early winter. Quick-acting fertilizer is suitable for fertilization after flowering, and organic fertilizer is suitable for winter fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, it is best to dig holes to help the roots absorb nutrients better.

4. Light temperature

Cherry blossoms like warmth and need to receive plenty of sunlight every day. They are also very cold-resistant, but appropriate windproof measures should be taken in the cold winter. It is best to move them indoors so that they will bloom earlier.

5. Pruning

Branches that grow too densely should be pruned, and dead branches, diseased branches, etc. should be pruned at the same time. Overgrown branches and leaves during the growing season should be pruned to reduce nutrient consumption. It is best to apply a preservative after pruning the branches, because the wounds heal slowly and may rot, so preventive measures should be taken.
