What to do after the cherry blossoms bloom?

1. Pruning

1. Cut off withered and diseased branches. Because this plant is prone to diseases and pests, and most of them are caused by infection with pathogens. Therefore, pruning these branches can prevent further invasion of pathogens.

2. Cut off branches that are too long. After pruning, the ventilation between the branches will be enhanced, the light will relatively meet the requirements of the plants, and it can also prevent diseases and pests, which is conducive to flowering the following year. But be sure to note that the wound must be treated with disinfectant after pruning. We can apply ink mixed with fungicide on the wound.

3. Beautification. After pruning, the plant can be given a plastic effect and its ornamental value can be enhanced.

2. Intertillage and weeding

1 The root system of the plant is very fragile, but if visitors step on the area around the trunk too much, it will cause the soil to clump, making it difficult for the roots to breathe, leading to root rot or even death. Through tillage, the soil can be made loose. However, you should be careful to choose tools with a smaller working surface, and the depth should not exceed 15 cm.

3. Fertilization

After flowering, the plant enters the peak growth season, so we need to supplement it with nutrients. We can choose already decomposed cake fertilizer, or we can choose to add a small amount of compound fertilizer, which can increase trace elements and make the plant grow better. Remember to add fertilizer close to the roots. Applying it too far away will have no effect, but applying it directly on the roots will also burn them.

4. Prevention and treatment

This plant is susceptible to insect pests. Therefore, the best period for prevention is after flowering, and specific medicines should be used to control insects and pathogens.
