Cultivation methods and precautions of Japanese early cherry blossoms

1. Watering

This plant is more susceptible to drought, so timely watering is important. The frequency of irrigation after planting is generally about eight to ten days. During operation, in addition to replenishing sufficient water, you should also pay attention to avoid water accumulation.

In addition, it is recommended to loosen the soil in time after watering, which is better for plant growth. After the plant becomes a tree, the frequency of watering can be reduced to about three to four times a year.

2. Pruning

Like most flowering trees, this plant also needs pruning. First, we need to determine the pruning objects and prune and thin out the diseased, weak, overgrown and overly dense branches on the tree.

One thing to note about Japanese early cherry blossoms is that the cut ends must be treated promptly after pruning, because its bark is particularly susceptible to damage and aging. Therefore, appropriate medicines should be applied in time after pruning to prevent pathogens from invading and causing damage to it.

3. Fertilization

There are generally two types of conventional fertilizers: winter fertilizer and top dressing after flowering.

For winter fertilizer, mainly choose some organic fertilizers, bean cakes and the like, and the best time to operate is early spring or winter.

Fertilizing after flowering is more to supplement the nutrients needed for the growth of cherry blossoms. The use of flower fertilizer is more targeted. It is recommended to choose some quick-acting fertilizers containing calcium phosphate, which will play a very good auxiliary role in the growth of plants.

In addition, whether it is fertilizing or daily maintenance, it is recommended that you take good care of their root systems, because their roots are relatively sensitive. It is best not to trample around the roots, as this can easily shorten the life of the tree. In severe cases, it may cause root rot, leading to the death of the entire plant.
