1. Strengthen the management of fertilizer and water. After the beginning of autumn, apply an organic fertilizer liquid to the pot soil once every 7-10 days, mainly phosphorus fertilizer, and at the same time apply 1-2 additional applications of a 0.1%-0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution, and be careful to prune away the tender shoots that sprout in autumn, because the tender shoots cannot mature by the beginning of winter

Pruning in time in this way can achieve the purpose of forcing flower buds.

2. The pot soil must not be too dry or too wet. After the beginning of autumn, gradually restrict watering of potted plum blossom. Potted plum blossom is very sensitive to moisture. If the pot soil is too wet, it easily causes premature yellowing of leaves, leaf drop, and even root rot and death. If the pot soil is too dry for a long time, it also easily causes leaf drop and affects bud formation and flowering. Therefore, watering should follow the principle of watering when dry and not watering when not dry, and when watering, water thoroughly. After the autumn cool arrives, the amount of watering should be gradually reduced to help the branches become firm.

3. Prune and shape appropriately. To make potted plum blossom bloom abundantly and beautifully, thinning branches and shaping should be carried out. The slender shoots growing from the tips of the side branches of potted plum blossom have few flower buds and should be appropriately shortened. On the side branches, the thick vigorous water shoots, weak slender branches, crossing branches, overlapping branches, dense branches, and dead branches should all be cut off. In autumn, cut short branches back by 10 cm, and cut long branches back leaving 5-6 buds, so that the branches are somewhat sparse and the branch form is graceful, and the flowers will also be more numerous and larger. After pruning and shaping, the following year the flowers will be abundant, large, and brightly colored.

For potted plum blossom, from early September to late November, as the leaves assimilate and the roots absorb and accumulate returning nutrients, root growth reaches a peak. At this time, good conditions should be created for root growth and nutrient absorption, such as frequently loosening the pot soil, avoiding the pot soil being too dry or too wet, and appropriately applying organic fertilizer, etc. This is beneficial for bud formation and flowering of potted plum blossom.

After the beginning of autumn, pests and diseases of potted plum blossom are relatively reduced. In order to reduce the irritation of sprayed pesticides on the leaves, the pesticide concentration should be on the lower side, and the spraying frequency need not be too frequent. In this way, leaf drop and bud drop can be avoided. Strong wind is also one of the factors causing leaf drop. If strong wind occurs, the pot can be moved to a wind-sheltered, sunny place.
