How to cultivate apricot plum

How to cultivate apricot plum

1. Soil

Apricot plum is not very demanding on soil, as long as it grows well in well-drained slightly alkaline sandy loam (pH around 6-8). When growing it at home, you need to use a larger flower pot and a deep soil layer, which is conducive to the stability of the root system.

2. Temperature

It prefers a warm growing environment, but can also withstand temperatures as low as -25°C. It grows best at an ambient temperature of 16-23°C. In most areas, indoor and outdoor farming is fine.

3. Watering

When maintaining the plant, water it according to the method of "watering if the pot is dry, not watering if it is not dry, and watering thoroughly when necessary". During the peak growth period, water the plant once a day. In summer, water the plant once in the morning and once in the evening. It is also important to spray water frequently to increase the air humidity.

4. Lighting

Apricot plum likes sunlight and should be placed in a ventilated and sunny place such as a balcony. If there is not enough sunlight for a sufficient period of time, it will grow poorly and may not bloom.

5. Notes

1. Fertilization: It does not require much fertilizer, so do not fertilize frequently. When applying fertilizer, be sure to apply small amounts and multiple times. Before flower bud differentiation, nitrogen fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizer.

2. Repotting: It is best to repot at the end of March, and cut off old roots and rotten roots when repotting. Spread some organic fertilizer at the bottom of the pot and then replace it with fertile potting soil.
