Cherry Blossom Spring Planting Methods and Key Technical Points

These past few days, the cherry blossom I grow in a pot at home had just grown a few leaves when it suddenly wilted badly. Why?

Reply: This kind of problem may be caused by poor control of fertilizer and water, and it is also related to the planting season. For cherry blossoms, May to June and September are best, and sandy loam soil that does not contain brick or stone is preferable. 1. Watering: Cherry blossom roots are shallow and not tolerant of drought. During the growing period, they must not lack water, especially during the dog days of summer, otherwise they will bloom less. However, too much water and fertilizer makes waterlogging especially easy, and it also easily causes excessive vegetative growth, an untidy plant shape, and affects the overall effect, so watering should be kept at the right level. Generally, water less in winter and spring, and absolutely do not let drought occur in summer and autumn. The best time to water during the flowering period is in the evening. 2. Fertilizing: Do not apply too much fertilizer, especially not too much nitrogen, otherwise the branches will grow excessively and the overall effect will be affected. Applying sufficient base fertilizer at planting time is key. After that, simply cover with 1 cm of leaf mold soil each winter to supplement the base fertilizer. In addition, pay attention to timely weeding and pest control, and there should not be any problems.
