How to make crape myrtle full of flowers?

Lagerstroemia indica is also known as daytime red and prurigo. Colorful, mostly purplish red, flowering 6- 10, it can be cultivated in the open field in North China and southern Liaoning, and can also be used as potted plants or bonsai.

Lagerstroemia indica is native to the Yangtze River valley in China and India. It likes sunshine, but it can also tolerate semi-shade. The requirements for soil quality are not strict. Fertile, loose and calcareous soil is good, but it grows poorly in cohesive soil. By cutting propagation, the fine characters of the varieties can be maintained and the flowers will flourish.

The flower buds of Lagerstroemia indica were formed on the branches of that year. In order to make Lagerstroemia indica blossom every year, it is necessary to strengthen water and fertilizer management and pruning, and pay attention to retaining newer branches. Top dressing 3-5 times a year before germination in spring and flowering in summer. After defoliation at 5438+0 1 in June, base fertilizer was applied in combination with winter irrigation. Before germination in spring, buds appear in June. Generally, water 1 time for half a month, and pay attention to drainage and waterlogging prevention in rainy season. Cut off the old branches after defoliation in winter and before germination in spring, leaving only 1 ~ 2 pairs of buds at the base, and blossom after the spring shoots are pulled out. 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.
