After autumn, apply organic fertilizer solution once every 7-10 days to the basin soil, mainly phosphate fertilizer, and apply 0.1% - 0.2% potassium dichloride phosphate solution once or twice, and pay attention to cutting off the young shoots sprouting in autumn, because the young shoots can't mature in winter and consume nutrients in vain, so pruning in time can achieve the purpose of promoting buds.
watering
The basin soil should not be too dry or too wet. After autumn, the potted plum gradually controlled watering, potted plum is very sensitive to water, the potted soil is too wet, it is easy to cause premature yellow leaves, leaves, even retting roots and death. The basin soil is too dry for a long time, which is also easy to cause deciduous leaves and affect the buds and flowers. Therefore, when watering, it is necessary to see whether it is dry or wet. If it is not, it is necessary to pour it thoroughly. After autumn cool, the amount of water should be reduced gradually to enrich the branches.
trim
In order to make potted plum blossom more and more beautiful, it is necessary to sparse branches and reshape them. In autumn, cut the short branch 10 cm, leave 5-6 buds short, make the branches sparse, make the branches beautiful and blossom more and more. After pruning and reshaping, the next year flowers will be numerous, large and colorful.
Introduction to plum blossom
Plant
It can be planted in the south, in the Yellow River Basin cold resistant varieties can also be planted in the field, but in the cold areas of the North should be potted indoor winter. It can be planted after defoliation and before sprouting in spring. In order to improve the survival rate, it is necessary to avoid damaging root system and transplanting with soil. The land should be planted in the leeward and sunny place. The potted culture soil was composed of 3 parts of rotten leaf soil, 3 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of river sand and 2 parts of rotten manure. After planting, water shall be poured once to make it permeable. It shall be maintained in the shade place and moved to normal management under the sun after the growth is restored.
Watering and fertilizing

It can be watered twice a day in summer, once a day in spring and autumn, and thoroughly in winter. Fertilization is also reasonable. Before planting, apply base fertilizer, mix a small amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate again before flowering, and apply rotten cake fertilizer once for flowers to supplement nutrition. In June, compound fertilizer could be applied once to promote flower bud differentiation. After falling leaves in autumn, apply organic fertilizer once, such as rotten manure, etc.
