Plum blossom is a common deciduous tree, and when plum blossoms have fallen their leaves, we can take the following points to manage it:
1.Nutrient supplementation: After the plum leaves have fallen leaves, the plant can be provided with nutrients through proper fertilization. You can choose to use organic fertilizer or special plant fertilizer, and fertilize it in the right season and proportion. Be careful not to over-fertilize the plant so as not to negatively affect the plant.
2.Water management: Although plum blossoms do not need too much water during the defoliation period, they still need to be kept moist in moderation. Water regularly to keep the soil moist according to the local climate and rainfall. In dry weather, you can increase the frequency of watering, but avoid standing water and overwatering.
3.Cleaning up fallen leaves: After plum blossoms have fallen leaves, clean up the fallen leaves on the ground in time to avoid the occurrence of bacteria or pests and diseases in waste. At the same time, cleaning up fallen leaves can also beautify the environment and make the plants more tidy.
4.Pruning and shaping: Plum blossoms can be pruned and shaped after the leaves have fallen to promote the growth of new plum blossoms and the health of the plant. Old branches and messes can be pruned to preserve healthy shoots and trunks. Pay attention to choosing the right tools and the right operation methods to avoid causing damage to the plants.
5.Pest control: After plum blossoms fall leaves, it is also necessary to pay attention to the control of pests and diseases. Common pests and diseases include aphids, mites, molds, etc. Plants can be inspected regularly, and once pests and diseases are found, appropriate control measures can be taken in a timely manner, and plant-safe insecticides or fungicides can be used for treatment.
6.Winter protection: If you are in an area with low winter temperatures, you may need to provide some winter protection for the plum blossoms. Protective materials such as straw, grass chips or protective cloth can be laid around the plants before winter sets in to increase insulation. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid excessive freezing and exposure of the plants to severe cold.
7.Observation and adjustment: After the plum blossom leaves have fallen leaves, it is necessary to continuously observe the condition of the plant and make appropriate adjustments as needed. Especially when new shoots appear, measures such as water management, fertilization, and pest control need to be adjusted according to the growth of the sprouts and the health of the plants.
In summary, plum blossoms need to carry out proper nutrient supplementation, water management, leaf cleaning, pruning and shaping, pest control, winter protection, observation and adjustment and other management measures during the defoliation period. Proper management can promote the healthy growth and flowering of plum blossoms, allowing them to display their beautiful flowers. At the same time, it is also necessary to carry out reasonable management according to the local climate and the characteristics of the plants, and take timely measures to solve possible problems.
