Plum blossom is suitable for growing in loose and fertile sandy loam. If the soil is too sticky, it will hinder the growth of the root system, and may also inhibit its respiration, resulting in poor plant growth. In addition, alkaline soil will lead to iron deficiency of plants, which will cause yellow leaves to fall, which need to be acidified by watering.
Plum blossom can grow in garden soil, but the pot soil can not only make it grow better, but also reduce the problem of maintenance. For example, adding a little rotten leaf soil and peat soil can make the soil acidic and improve the alkaline soil. Adding a little river sand can increase the drainage of soil. In addition, it can also be properly added to the base fertilizer to provide it with sufficient nutrients.
Long term watering and fertilization will lead to hardening and hardening of soil, which makes it difficult for water to penetrate into roots and affect its growth. Therefore, the soil should be loosened properly every other period of time, and new soil can be replaced every year to reduce the problems caused by soil hardening. Alkaline soil is not conducive to its growth and can be improved by watering and acidification. Add appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate into the water, the concentration should be low, or it will hurt the plants.
