How to care for cherry blossoms after they bloom

Pruning cherry blossoms after blooming

Cherry blossoms usually bloom in early spring, and they need to be pruned in time after they bloom. First, the dead and diseased branches need to be cut off, the overlapping branches need to be cut off, and the relatively strong branches need to be retained. This can promote ventilation and light transmission of the cherry blossoms and make them grow vigorously.

When pruning cherry blossoms, they need to be disinfected in time and the wounds treated to prevent infection, thus reducing the occurrence of diseased and dead branches.

Fertilizing after cherry blossoms bloom

Cherry blossoms consume a lot of nutrients when they bloom and need timely fertilizer replenishment. Generally, you can apply decomposed organic fertilizer once to promote its growth. On the second day after fertilizing, you can water and loosen the soil, which is conducive to the growth of the root system. At the same time, foliar fertilization can also be adopted.

When applying foliar fertilizer, you can apply mixed fertilizer rich in trace elements and spray it on the leaves, paying attention to both sides, so as to promote the absorption of nutrients. Generally spray once every 7 days.
