Songhongmei pay attention to the usual maintenance, in fact, it is very good. The only problem is the poor cold resistance, winter needs to be put in a warm place for winter, but also not heat-resistant, summer needs appropriate shade, in addition to maintaining the appropriate temperature, as well as good water and fertilizer management.
1. Light: pines and red plums can receive light for a long time. But it can't be exposed to the sun, which will cause burns to the leaves. So summer should be appropriate shade, other time can be placed in the long period of sunshine.
2. Temperature: the suitable temperature for pine and red plum is 18-25 ℃. In summer, proper cooling should be carried out to avoid water loss caused by high temperature, resulting in yellow leaves. In winter, they should be moved indoors in time to avoid being lower than - 1 ℃, or they will freeze the plants.
3. Soil: the requirement of pine and red plum on soil is not high. The soil is loose and fertile. It is better to add some humus. At the same time, pad tile or river sand on the bottom to increase its drainage. Because the plant likes the environment of slight acid, so the soil with serious salt and alkali is not suitable for planting. It needs to make basin soil with peat wood, or water it with ferrous sulfate at ordinary times.
4. Watering: pine, red and plum like humid environment. Therefore, once the soil is slightly dry, it can be watered, and even supplement water is beneficial to growth. Watering should not be too much to avoid the formation of water. During the rainy season, the water should be controlled properly, and the water should be drained in time.
5. Fertilization: the fertilization of pines and red plums is mainly concentrated in the growth period, and liquid fertilizer can be applied once or twice a month. In addition, we can apply inorganic fertilizer once after pruning to speed up the growth of the plant and ensure that the next year's flowering will be more prosperous.
