Plum cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It has certain temperature requirements during the flowering period. If the temperature is guaranteed to be between 20 and 25 degrees, it will be very beneficial to the spread of pollen. During the development process, there are basically no conditions for temperature, and the maintenance temperature can be above 10 degrees.

2. Watering: Plants grown in the open field do not need to be watered except in dry weather. In dry weather, water them once every two days. If they are potted plants grown at home, they need to be watered every other day during the growing season and once a week during the non-growing season.

3. Fertilization: When harvesting fruits and completing each pruning, it is necessary to apply top dressing, especially after harvesting fruits, you need to mix decomposed fertilizer into the soil. During the growing season, you can also fertilize the leaves. The fertilizer mainly uses compound fertilizer with amino acids as the main element, and it is usually sprayed once a week.

4. Light: Adequate light is very beneficial to its growth. Sufficient photosynthesis can make the leaves become thick and large. It is best to ensure that the daily light time is more than six hours. If conditions permit, it can receive full-day sunshine.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: You can use the cutting method to propagate it. Cut healthy branches from healthy plants, then spray and disinfect them with potassium permanganate, and then plant them in the soil. Generally, roots will grow in half a month.

2. Pruning: The branches that bear flowers and fruits are generally short fruit branches, so the main target of pruning is the short fruit branches. The focus of pruning in the first year is on plant shaping and density control. When it comes to the fruiting period, focus on pruning side branches and main branches.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: September of each year is the peak period for plants to be infected by pests. Carbendazim is needed for preventive treatment. If the plants are still infected by pests, omethoate should be used for insecticide.

2. Disease: If the plant has falling leaves or yellowing leaves, it is mostly caused by insufficient light. You need to increase the light and meet the light requirement of at least six hours a day.

IV. Other issues

1. Edibility: It is a very common fruit and can be eaten directly. In addition, it can also be used as medicine. When eating, children should eat less because it is not easy to digest.

2. Flower language: Its flower language is purity and it can be given to lovers.
