Flowering cultivation and management of Malus chinensis

Watering and fertilizing

The crabapple tree prefers moist and fertile soil and a sunny environment.

When watering, pay attention to whether the soil in the pot is moist. If it is moist, do not water it. Water it when it is dry, but do not let water accumulate. Spray water on the leaves frequently to keep them moist, which is conducive to the growth of flower buds.

During the growth period of the crabapple, apply diluted cake fertilizer water every 10 days, and apply quick-acting phosphorus fertilizer during the bud formation period. Stop fertilizing immediately when the flowering period comes.

Light and temperature

The environment in which the crabapple grows must have sufficient light, but it also needs appropriate shade and ventilation to promote photosynthesis of the leaves. It is conducive to the growth of branches and buds.

The growing temperature should be warm and balanced, preferably above 10 degrees in winter, and pay attention to sheltering from the wind.

Repotting

The crabapple tree needs to be repotted, soil changed, and pruned every spring. Some weak branches, overlapping branches, and residual roots should be cut off to facilitate the growth of other healthy branches and buds.

Plants that have been flowering for about 3 years need to be pruned to ensure the germination and growth of new branches.
