Redbud flowers bloom in purple clusters of small flowers, open and beautiful. It is a flower that loves sunlight. However, it has a certain resistance to cold, but maintaining it is very important. The correct method is also important. The following editor introduces to everyone the methods for maintaining redbud in winter. I hope everyone likes it.

How to maintain redbud in winter

1. Control water

In winter, the management of water and fertilizer is also more critical. To water appropriately, the evaporation of redbud in winter is relatively small, so in general, there is no need to water regularly, but when the soil is dry, give it a little water. If the temperature is too low, it is better to water after noon, so that the normal growth of redbud can be guaranteed. When watering, it should not be too cold.

2. Temperature

Although redbud has relatively cold resistance, its seedlings are the same as most other plants. Subzero temperatures will not cause harm to it, so when the winter temperature is too low, the temperature should not be too low. Redbud will enter dormancy, and growth will begin to slow down, so we can use a plastic arch shed to protect it from winter. In general, the temperature is kept at about 15 degrees, so temperature is also very important for redbud to successfully overwinter.

3. Fertilization

In winter, redbud, like most plants, will enter dormancy, and the demand for fertilizer will decrease, so at this time it should stop fertilizing or reduce the amount of fertilizer, because if the amount of fertilizer is too large at that time, it is easy to let the roots of redbud rot. So in winter, you must control the amount of fertilizer.

4. Lighting

Redbud prefers sunny places, so sufficient sunlight must be maintained in winter. If there is not enough sun, then redbud will not have enough nutrients. When there is sunlight at noon in winter, we can bask it in more places and let it enjoy the sun more evenly. Therefore, lighting is also very important for redbud's smooth winter.

Redbud

Redbud represents family and has the good meaning of family reunion and siblings.

The story of redbud

Redbud is the city flower of Hong Kong, China. In Hong Kong's history, there is a story about redbud.

More than a hundred years ago, Hong Kong residents opposed the British invasion, and they followed suit one after another. After the disaster, people built a large grave on Guijiao Mountain to bury the dead heroes.

Later, a red-purple flower that people had never seen before was planted on Kuijiao Mountain. Soon, the flowers spread all over Hong Kong. Around Qingming, the flowers bloomed, and people named it redbud to commemorate the dead.

The legend of redbud

Redbud is deeply rooted in people's home courtyards and has always been a symbolic plant of family and beauty. It also represents siblings, and there is a little legend as well.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jing Zhaoyin Tian Zhen and his brothers Tian Qing and Tian Guang separated. All the property had been divided. The remaining redbud tree was divided into three parts.

At dawn, when the brothers came to cut the tree, they found that the tree had withered and fallen to the ground. Tian Zhen could not help sighing at Tian Chang: "It is not as good as wood!" From then on, the three brothers no longer separated, and they lived in harmony. The redbud tree also regained its vitality and flowers.

Because of this story, redbud in the poetry of siblings has become a companion for missing loved ones. Lu Ji wrote a poem for this: "Three thorns are the same plant, four birds grieve in the forest." Li Bai sighed: "Tian's hurried bones, the blue sky and white day destroy the redbud." The famous Tang Dynasty poet Wei Yingwu's poem "Seeing the Redbud Wheel": "Miscellaneous English has already accumulated, containing Fang Du Chun Chun. Still like the tree at home, I suddenly think of the people in the garden."
