Do I need to water the crabapple more when it blooms? What should I do if it dries up after a few days of not watering?

1. Do you need to water more during the flowering period?

During the flowering period, the crabapple does not need excessive watering. Just water it normally after the soil is dry. When watering, be careful not to pour water on the blooming flowers. When watering during the bud formation period, you should also be careful not to have any water on the buds. If the water cannot evaporate over time, they will rot, which will affect the normal opening of the flowers.

2. What to do if there is a shortage of water

If the crabapple tree is not watered for a few days, its branches and leaves will become dry. Then you need to water it first, but not too much water. You have to water it slowly, otherwise the plant will not be able to absorb it all at once. Also, spray some water on the leaves. Sometimes, if the air humidity is too low, they will dry out.

3. Watering method

When growing crabapples, watering is generally done after the soil is dry, and watering should not be too frequent. How often you should water it should be determined based on the climate and the rate at which water evaporates. In most cases, watering is usually done every 2-3 days in spring and autumn. Summer can get very hot and humid, and deep water can't easily evaporate, so you can't water it unless the soil is dry. You can water it once every 3 or 5 days. In winter, just keep it slightly dry and water it once a month.
