How to take care of the newly bought crabapple

1. How to deal with the crabapple just bought

When you first buy the crabapple, don't rush to plant it in a pot. First check whether the roots of the plant are rotten or dried up. If so, they need to be cut off. Then disinfect and dry it. Prepare a flowerpot of appropriate size, put loose and well-drained soil in it, put the treated plants in, and bury the roots with flower soil, making sure the roots are not exposed on the soil surface.

2. Specific breeding methods

1. Light: It likes light. When you first buy it, you can place it in a place with sufficient diffuse light and good ventilation for maintenance. Do not let it directly receive high-intensity light to avoid affecting the normal recovery of the plant.

2. Watering: When you first buy it, you only need to keep the soil slightly moist, and there is no need to water it frequently. However, during the peak growth period, you need to increase the amount of watering appropriately and spray it with water frequently to increase the humidity of the air.

3. Temperature: It is relatively cold-resistant, but it is more suitable for growing in a warm environment. When you first buy it, you can keep it in an environment with a temperature of around 20℃. But don't put it in a place that is too cold at this time, otherwise its roots will easily be frozen, and it will be difficult to recover after freezing.

4. Fertilization: When it is just bought, it has not yet resumed normal growth, so you need to stop fertilizing temporarily. Once it resumes growing, you can start fertilizing again. Normally, fertilizer water should be applied about once every 10 days during the normal growth period, and then some phosphorus fertilizer can be added appropriately. When applying fertilizer, be careful not to splash the fertilizer onto the leaves. It is not advisable to apply fertilizer during the flowering period and in winter and summer.
