How to manage wintersweet tree?

The management methods of Chimonanthus praecox trees are as follows:

Location: Chimonanthus praecox bonsai should be placed in a sunny place, avoiding the cold wind and slightly shading in summer. When the temperature is lower than 65438 0℃ in winter, potted plants should be moved indoors for wintering.

Watering: Usually the soil in the basin is slightly dry, and the watering should be "dry and wet". If you don't water it, you will water it all. Dog days are the period of flower bud formation, so you should water it sooner or later. When the leaves fall after autumn, the soil in the basin can be slightly dry and watered every 5 ~ 7 days.

Fertilization: Chimonanthus praecox is a good fertilizer. In the early stage of flower bud formation from April to June, cake fertilizer is applied every 10 day. From the end of June to before lodging, apply thin fertilizer water combined with nitrogen and phosphorus once a week to promote flower bud formation. Top dressing 1 ~ 2 times in dog days, and the fertilizer should be thin. Apply after autumn 1 time. When changing pots, you can apply sufficient base fertilizer such as bone meal and bean cake to the bottom of pots.

Pruning: Pruning and bud picking are extremely important for Chimonanthus praecox to flourish every year. Pruning usually lasts from March to June and stops after August. After flowering every year, the old branches should be cut off immediately, and the maximum length of each branch is only 15 ~ 20 cm. After the new branches grow 2 ~ 3 pairs of buds, pick the top buds and soon grow side branches. After the new branches grow to 10 cm, the buds are picked again, and this is repeated several times until flower buds are basically formed. It is also necessary to prune all kinds of cross branches, parallel branches, overlapping branches, opposite branches, long branches and branches that are too dense and too thin to affect the beauty of the tree.

Pot turning: the bonsai is turned once every 1 ~ 2 years, and the time is better after the flowers wither in late winter and early spring. Before turning over the pot, the germinated buds can be picked for about 5 days, and the hidden buds can be transplanted when they germinate and expand. Remove 1B3 old soil, cut off rotten roots and withered roots, and prune elder roots when turning over pots. Instead, frozen and crisp pond soil or humus-rich humus-containing humus-containing humus-containing humus-containing humus-containing humus-containing humus-containing humus-containing humus-containing humus-containing humus-containing soil.
