2. Which plum blossoms bloom twice a year?

In the idiom "梅开二度", the plum blossom blooms twice a year, but in fact this is just a saying in the story. The real plum blossom blooms only once a year, and there is no variety that can bloom twice. However, there is a flower called Prunus armeniaca that can bloom twice a year. This plant looks like a plum blossom and blooms from January to April. The flower color is white and turns red after two months.

3. Flower promotion method

1. Increase light: If you want the plum blossoms to bloom, sufficient light is essential. The daily lighting time should not be less than 6 hours, which can promote the differentiation of flower buds and the formation of flower buds, and has a good effect on promoting plant flowering. Moreover, the light in autumn and winter is generally softer, so there is no risk of sunburning the plants.

2. Control the temperature: Plum blossoms usually bloom in late winter and early spring, when the temperature is rising. If you want the plum blossoms to bloom early, you can also increase the ambient temperature appropriately, so that the flower buds can bloom earlier. It should be noted that while controlling the temperature, you should also pay attention to the temperature difference. If the temperature difference is too large, it will also cause the flowers to fall.

3. Supplement fertilizer: Any plant needs to consume nutrients to bloom. If the nutrients are insufficient, flowering will become a problem. Therefore, applying some fertilizer to plum blossoms can also help promote flowering. Generally, fertilizers that promote flowering are mostly phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Pay attention to controlling the dosage to prevent concentrated fertilizers from burning the roots.

4. Proper pruning: In addition to supplementing nutrients, another way is to reduce nutrient consumption by cutting off branches that are too long and too thin. This way, nutrients can be concentrated on strong branches, which is more conducive to the flowering of the plant.
