What should I pay attention to when transplanting Lagerstroemia indica?

The transplanting of Lagerstroemia indica strong trees should be carried out after defoliation in autumn or before germination in spring, or in rainy season. Although Lagerstroemia indica has good transplanting performance, in order to ensure survival, it is best to bring soil balls when transplanting. Wei Zi is not afraid of the scorching sun.

The brighter the sunshine, the more lush the flowers will be. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a place with fertile soil, good drainage, good ventilation and sufficient sunshine, rather than a wet and low-lying place. Because the flower buds of Lagerstroemia indica were formed on the branches of that year, the pruning of the tree body before planting can be appropriately heavier. Generally, the old branches should be cut off, leaving only 1 ~ 2 pairs of buds at the base, and the spring shoots can bloom in early summer. If the old branches are not cut, the plants are too high, the flower position moves up year by year, and the flowers are scarce. Apply plantar fertilizer at fixed planting points, dig deep and plant shallowly, and raise it appropriately.

After planting, water your feet. Attention should be paid to flood control, drainage and drought-resistant watering during the growth period, but Lagerstroemia indica should not be sprayed with water on the leaves, which will cause the branches to grow white and affect flowering. After the flowers bloom in summer, the branches should be cut short in time. After the flower branches are cut short, the new branches can germinate again and bloom in autumn, which can prolong the flowering period. Lagerstroemia indica likes fertilizer, especially in flowering period, which needs sufficient fertilizer supply. Applying liquid fertilizer every 7 ~ 15d, mainly nitrogen fertilizer in spring, mainly phosphorus fertilizer before flowering, can promote the bright colors of plants. Pests and diseases include sooty blotch, scale insects and aphids. Attention should be paid to timely prevention and control.
