How to grow potted Japanese cherry blossoms

1. Soil

Generally, you can choose soil with good air permeability. In addition, soil with strong drainage properties is more conducive to its growth. Generally, it can be grown in a mixed soil containing leaf mold and garden soil. Chicken manure from raising chickens at home is also a good choice, and these can be used to raise it well.

2. Watering

It is afraid of waterlogging, so you can water it moderately, but not too much, otherwise there will be water accumulation that affects its normal growth. Normally, the soil can be kept dry, but not too moist, otherwise the roots of the plant will not be able to absorb water normally, leading to the death of the plant.

3. Fertilization

It likes fertilizer, so you can apply fertilizer to it once every week, but be careful not to make the concentration too high. In the early stage of flowering, fertilizers containing nitrogen should be applied mainly, and in the later stage, fertilizers containing phosphorus can be added appropriately. Remember to apply fertilizer once a year to help it grow better next year and produce more flower buds to help it bloom better.

4. Lighting

It likes sunlight and can be placed in a sunny place, given light throughout the day, and rotated appropriately so that it can receive light better. If there is not enough sunlight, the plant will become sick and cannot grow normally.

5. Pruning

You can cut off excess dead flowers, leaves and branches in time to avoid consuming too much nutrients, so that the entire plant can sprout new buds and grow more luxuriantly. Also pay attention to the disinfection and maintenance of the wound to help it recover and grow faster.
