After growing up, the beauty Sakura is very strict with water requirements. It must have water but not too much, so it must be strictly controlled. It is more drought resistant when it grows up, but if the temperature is very high in summer, it should also be watered frequently.

If the soil is too dry, the branches and leaves will wither, if there is too much water, the leaves will grow very dense, the flowers will grow very little, the leaves will turn yellow, and even the roots will rot and die, so in the rainy season, it is necessary to drain the water in the flower soil in time.

4. Fertilization

When it is growing, it needs to be fertilized every 15 days. If it is still a seedling, it needs to use nitrogen fertilizer if it is fertilized, so that the leaves will grow luxuriantly. If it is going to bloom, it needs to add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, so that the flowering time will be longer and the flowers will be very beautiful. After growing up, we must not only use nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the nutrition will be absorbed by the leaves, and the number of flowers will be reduced.
