How to promote the flowering of plum blossoms

To make the potted plum plants bloom during the Spring Festival, the main thing is to promote flowering. The main measure to promote flowering is to ensure suitable temperature and moisture.

Before viewing the flowers, they need to be warmed up, and pay attention to the timing of heating. Because if the heating time is not mastered well, it will affect the flowering. Heating too early will cause the plum blossoms to bloom prematurely, and too late will delay flowering. 20 days before the scheduled flowering period, the plum blossom pots need to be moved indoors, placed in a well-lit place, and the temperature maintained at around 10℃-15℃. If the flower buds are still relatively small a week before viewing the flowers, the temperature needs to be raised to 20℃-25℃. Of course, if the plum blossoms are to bloom before the Spring Festival viewing period, they can be placed in a low-temperature environment and reduced light. This will extend the flowering period of the plum blossoms so that they can still be viewed during the Spring Festival. Sometimes the flowering period can last as long as half a month.

Precautions for promoting the flowering of plum blossoms

Although the key to promoting the flowering of plum blossoms is temperature, daily maintenance is also essential. The main task is to spray water on the branches of the plum blossoms and around the flowerpots every day. This can keep them clean and tidy and increase the air humidity. When watering, do not water too much, just keep the soil moist.

In order for plum blossoms to bloom better, they also need to be fertilized reasonably, preferably with dilute liquid fertilizer, which is generally sufficient once every 10 days.
