How to grow the branched apricot so that it will bloom out of the pot easily?

The ramified apricot is a succulent plant that is very easy to grow out of the pot and has a strong branching ability, but the prerequisite is that it must be well grown. So how can we grow the branched apricot so that it will bloom out of the pot easily? Let’s learn more about it below.

1. Soil ventilation

The soil for planting twig sweet almonds should be loose and breathable, and have a certain water-retaining effect. For home potted twig sweet almonds, the soil can be a mixture of wood ash and granular soil. In order to make the soil breathable and loose, you can add a little more particles, according to the ratio of 5:5.

2. Water appropriately

When watering the branch apricot plant, it should be based on the dryness of the soil in the pot. If the soil is dry, it needs to be watered in time, and each time it is watered, it should be watered thoroughly. Especially during the growth period, the branch apricot has certain requirements for water. It should not be too dry, which will affect the growth of the branch apricot. Water control needs to be strictly enforced in summer. As long as the plant is not dead, try not to water it. Replenish water in time and give an appropriate amount of water. The best time to replenish water is in the evening.

3. Adequate lighting

The truncal apricot likes warm sunshine but is afraid of exposure to the sun. It will enter a dormant state when the temperature is above 33°C in the summer. When the temperature rises and the plant enters its dormant period, you must take shading measures and move the plant to a ventilated and cool place for planting. In the cold winter, the branches and trunks of the apricot tree must be allowed to fully enjoy the sunlight. As long as the light is good and the temperature is suitable, try to let the branches and trunks of the apricot tree see more sun.

4. Dry environment

During the rainy season, the branches and trunks of the apricot tree must be moved indoors for cultivation. The branched apricot tree prefers a dry environment. Long-term soaking in water can easily lead to root rot.

5. Insulation measures

The branched apricot likes a dry environment and the suitable growth temperature is 15-25℃. When the temperature is higher than 33℃ in summer, it will enter a dormant period. At this time, the environment should be kept ventilated. In winter, take measures to keep the plants warm to prevent frostbite on the roots and leaves. To prevent cold and frost, the wintering temperature needs to be kept above 10℃.

6. Proper pruning

The branches of the apricot tree can be properly pruned in spring or autumn every year. Some long branches can be cut off to allow more new buds to sprout, so that the number of branches will increase year by year. Remember not to prune too much, otherwise it will die.

That’s it
