When is the crabapple blossom season?

1. Flowering Season

Normally, crabapple blossoms bloom between April and May in the spring, but this is not always the case. The specific flowering time is related to the light provided during maintenance. If there is sufficient sunlight, the flowers will bloom earlier and last longer. If it is placed in a dark place for a long time during maintenance and the temperature is low, the flowers will bloom very late and will wither early.

In addition, the flowering time is also related to the variety. Some varieties bloom early, such as the stalked crabapple and the weeping crabapple, which usually bloom between March and April in spring. Begonias bloom in both spring and autumn.

2. Maintenance after flowering

1. Watering: The flower consumes more water during the blooming period than usual, so it is necessary to replenish water in time after flowering to keep it moist and allow it to recover as soon as possible. When watering, let it seep slowly from the flowerpot, and it is best if the water has been dried in the sun. However, it is important to reduce the amount of water during the budding period to avoid root rot.

2. Fertilization: After the flowers fade, it is necessary to add fertilizer and nourishment in time. Adequate nutrients are more conducive to resuming growth. When applying fertilizer, be careful not to make the concentration too high. It is best to apply thin fertilizers multiple times to avoid burning the roots due to large amounts.

3. Pruning: After the flowers fade, the remaining flowers should be cut off as soon as possible to reduce nutrient consumption and promote the plant to grow more vigorously. When pruning, be sure to remove the center of the flower first, and then cut off the remaining flowers.
