How to grow hawthorn? Can hawthorn be grown at home?

1. How to raise

1. Adequate sunlight: During the growth period, there must be sufficient light. Adequate sunlight can promote photosynthesis, thereby accumulating nutrients to maintain later growth. If there is less light, the growth will become poor, and it will also affect flowering and fruiting.

2. Maintain the temperature: The temperature suitable for hawthorn growth is between 18℃-32℃. The temperature cannot be too high or too low, otherwise it is not good for growth. Pay attention to shading in summer and spray water appropriately to lower the temperature. Take warming measures in winter and move it indoors until March of the following year.

3. Water and fertilizer management: Hawthorn trees are relatively drought-resistant, so do not water them too often. Water them when the soil in the pot is relatively dry, and make sure to water them thoroughly each time. Hawthorn has a large demand for fertilizer. It is necessary to supplement nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the growing period, which can be combined with watering.

4. Reasonable pruning: Hawthorn maintenance also requires attention to pruning, which is divided into summer pruning and winter pruning. In summer, the flowers can be thinned out, and in winter, the main focus is on branch pruning, removing dead and diseased branches, and pruning overly dense branches. Pruning can reduce nutrient consumption, increase plant light transmittance, and prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests.

2. Can I keep it at home?

Hawthorn can be grown at home. It is non-toxic, not very ornamental, and it produces edible hawthorn berries.
