1. Morphological characteristics1. Leaves: The leaves of plum blossoms are generally oval or elliptical. The length is between 4 and 8 cm and the width can reach 5 cm. The edge serrations are small and sharp. The young leaves have hair on both sides, which will fall off as they grow. 2. Flowers: Usually bloom in winter. The flowers are solitary or in pairs, with a diameter of less than 2.5 cm and a strong fragrance. The calyx is usually reddish brown, but there are also green varieties. The petals are obovate in shape and are mostly white and pink in color. 3. Fruit: The fruit is nearly spherical, with a diameter of between 2 and 3 cm. It is generally yellow and tastes sour. 2. Maintenance methods1. Temperature: Plum blossoms have good cold resistance and can generally spend the winter outdoors. Proper temperature control can also delay flowering. If you want it to bloom during the Spring Festival, you need to move it to the greenhouse on New Year's Day and keep the room temperature at around 8-12℃. If you want it to bloom by May Day, you need to keep it in a cold room at 0℃ until April and then move it outdoors. 2. Watering: Do not water the plum blossoms too much. Generally, wait until the soil in the pot is relatively dry before watering, and water until the entire pot is moist, but no water accumulation should occur. Reduce watering in autumn, which is beneficial to the growth of branches. Increasing watering in winter can make the flowers flourish. 3. Fertilization: When planting and repotting, base fertilizer should be applied to plum blossoms. After that, you only need to apply it three times a year, using a thin cake fertilizer water. The first time is when the new shoot is 5 cm, the second time is after the leaves unfold, and the third time is in late summer and early autumn. Proper watering after fertilizing is conducive to the absorption and dilution of fertilizer. 3. Picture appreciation |
