The Western Crabapple is a precious variety of crabapple. It has bright flowers in spring and abundant red fruits in autumn. It has a particularly high ornamental value. Many people plan to cultivate the Western Crabapple, but people do not know much about its cultivation methods. Today, the editor will introduce it to you.

Cultivation method of Chinese crabapple

1. Soil and water

When growing crabapples, you must choose fertile soil with good air permeability and make sure it is slightly alkaline. During the cultivation period, you must keep the potting soil moist, especially in spring and summer, and water it more appropriately. If you water the crabapples, their leaves will burn and wither. After entering the cold winter weather, you need to stop watering to prevent their roots from rotting.

2. Fertilizer

Begonia is a fertilizer-loving plant. During the cultivation period, it is necessary to fertilize it in time and pay attention to the combination of fertilizers. It has a relatively high demand for fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. If fertilization is improper, its branches and leaves will grow too long and the flowering period of Begonia will be affected. In the summer of each year, you can apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which can promote the differentiation of flower buds and make its flower color more colorful.

3. Temperature and sunlight

Temperature and sunlight are also the two most important conditions for growing crabapples. It is relatively cold-resistant and can survive the winter safely as long as the temperature is kept above zero degrees. However, growing it in a warm environment in winter can make it bloom early in the second year. Crabapples also need plenty of sunlight when growing, so there is no need to shade them even in the hot summer.

4. Pruning

When cultivating crabapples, proper pruning is required. All dense and thin branches, dead branches and diseased branches should be cut off. At the same time, the old branches should be pruned. This is conducive to ventilation, which can effectively promote the growth of crabapples and the growth of more branches, making the crabapples fuller and allowing them to bloom more and more beautiful flowers.
