How to grow crabapple flowers and when will they bloom

1. Maintenance methods

1. Light: It has poor shade tolerance and prefers an environment with sufficient light. Therefore, when caring for it, it should be placed in a well-lit, bright place and exposed to more sunlight to accumulate more nutrients, thereby promoting the blooming of flowers. But be careful to block the strong sunlight in summer and avoid excessive exposure to the sun.

2. Watering: It likes moisture and cannot tolerate dryness. If the soil is dry during the growing season, water it, especially in summer. In addition to watering, you should also sprinkle water frequently to keep it moist. However, if it is continuous rainy weather, the water should be drained in time.

3. Fertilization: Spring is the peak growth season. The plant grows fast and consumes a lot of nutrients, so it is necessary to add fertilizer in time. Fertilizer should be added every half a month, using low-concentration fertilizer. In addition, appropriate organic fertilizer should be applied when the leaves fall in autumn, which will help them survive the winter.

2. Flowering time

Begonia flowers usually bloom between April and May in spring. However, the specific flowering period also depends on the cultivation area and variety. Generally, those planted in the south bloom earlier than those planted in the north because the climate is warmer. In addition, among all varieties, the weeping crabapple has the earliest flowering period, with flowers available in mid-March, followed by the western crabapple. There are also plants that can bloom in all seasons, such as the begonia.
