Habits of plum blossom

Plum blossom is a small tree of the genus Armeniaca in the Rosaceae family, rarely a shrub, with bark that is light gray or greenish.

It prefers a warm climate, is not strongly cold-hardy, is relatively drought-tolerant, is not tolerant of waterlogging, and has a long lifespan that can reach a thousand years. It is sensitive to climate changes during the flowering period, dislikes heavy rain, and likes air with high humidity.

Except for varieties of the apricot plum group, which can tolerate -25°C low temperatures, it generally tolerates-10°C low temperatures. It is heat-tolerant and can also grow under40°C conditions.

During the growing period, it should be placed in a spot with ample sunlight and good ventilation. If kept in a shaded environment with insufficient light, it will grow weak and spindly and bloom sparsely.

In winter, do not move it indoors too early; moving it indoors in late Novemberis appropriate. Place it in a sunny spot indoors, and keep the temperature at5°C.
