What to do after the crabapple blossoms

1. Pruning after flowering

After the flowers have faded, the first thing we need to do is to trim the withered flowers. First of all, we must remember to remove the flower core and the withered flowers in time. This can effectively reduce the waste of nutrients and help the plants grow more luxuriantly.

2. Watering

Flowers will consume a lot of nutrients and water in the process of blooming. When the flowers bloom, the plant also needs to accumulate a certain amount of strength. After the flowers wither, we should water them in time. Begonias relatively prefer a warm growing environment, so it is best to pay attention. However, the amount of water needs to be reduced during the budding period to prevent root rot. In addition, when watering, it is best to pour slowly along the edge of the flower pot, and it is also best to air the water in advance.

3. Topdressing

In fact, when applying top dressing, many people have a misunderstanding. Many people think that as long as the crabapple flowers are supplemented with fertilizers in time as required, they do not need it for the rest of the time. This idea is wrong. If you want the crabapple flowers to grow well, the amount of fertilizer should be determined according to their leaf color and growth status. However, you also need to be careful not to overdo it to prevent fertilizer damage and other problems such as root damage.

4. Disease prevention

When faced with high temperature and humidity, crabapples are prone to breeding bacteria and causing diseases. Therefore, during this period, attention should be paid to timely cooling and ventilation.

5. Sunlight

It is best not to expose the plant to direct sunlight during the maintenance stage, especially when the light is particularly strong, as this may cause burns to the leaves and affect its appearance. It is usually best to place it in a semi-shaded place on the balcony or courtyard for maintenance. When keeping it indoors, be sure to ventilate it!
