How to plant Prunus mume in the garden

Planting method

Before planting wheat plum, the soil should be disinfected first, and it can be sprayed with potassium permanganate aqueous solution. Then insert the processed cuttings directly into the soil. After insertion, compact the soil around it with your hands, cover it with plastic wrap, and cover the area around the plastic wrap with soil to avoid exposed areas. Plastic wrap can keep moisture and keep heat in place. Water the soil thoroughly before planting, but not too much.

Build a shed above the soil to provide shade. The shed only needs to be 2 meters high and can block 50% of the sunlight to prevent the cuttings from being injured by the scorching sun and disrupting their growth.

Late June is the best time to choose cuttings. Choose healthy branches that are free of pests and diseases. Late June to early July is the best time to plant cuttings.

If transplanted, be sure to move the soil along with it. During the seedling acclimatization period, it is sufficient to water the plants once a week. During the growth period, be careful to remove weeds and loosen the soil in time.

After the growing season of wheat, it prefers sunlight and has a strong ability to adapt and tolerate cold climates. It is both drought-resistant and moisture-resistant, but waterlogging is not allowed, so pay attention to drainage on a daily basis, especially during the rainy season. The lily prefers soft, well-breathed soil to survive.

Diseases and pests of wheat plum usually occur during the growth period. It can be sprayed with insecticides and fungicides.
