Cultivation methods and precautions of Xifu Begonia

Breeding methods and precautions

The cultivation method of Chinese crabapple is very simple, just follow its growth environment.

Light and temperature

The environment for the growth of crabapple requires sufficient light and appropriate temperature.

Placing the crabapple in a well-ventilated environment with diffused light will help it absorb sunlight and promote growth.

The suitable temperature for the growth of crabapple is around 20 degrees, just maintain a balance.

Note:

Avoid direct sunlight to avoid damaging the leaves.

In winter, it should be placed in a sunny and sheltered place for maintenance. In the dry and hot summer season, attention should be paid to ventilation and shade, and it should not be exposed to the sun all the time.

Watering and fertilizing

The best way to water the crabapple is to keep the soil in the pot moist. High air humidity is conducive to growth, so you should spray water on the leaves and the surrounding ground to keep them moist.

The crabapple should be fertilized during the growth period, and diluted cake fertilizer and water fertilizer should be applied about once every 10 days.

Note:

Water the crabapple until the soil in the pot is moist. Do not allow water to accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot. Control watering in winter and reduce the amount of water.

When applying fertilizer, be careful not to spray the fertilizer onto the leaves to avoid damaging them. Be sure not to apply fertilizer during the flowering season and in winter and summer.

Binding and repotting

Because the crabapple plant is tall and easy to fall over, it needs to be supported by supports such as thin bamboo to prevent it from falling over and hindering its growth.

In spring every year, it is necessary to repot, change the soil, and prune the branches. Just cut off the weak branches, overlapping branches, and residual roots.

Note:

When tying up the crabapple, be sure to use thin branches and avoid using thick branches that will affect the development and growth of the branches and buds.

When repotting, pay attention to adding new soil to increase nutrients, but don't damage the roots.
