Chimonanthus praecox is my favorite bonsai. Three pots were planted at home, and now there is only one pot left. When it comes to the cultivation method of Chimonanthus praecox, it's actually not that difficult. Chimonanthus praecox is easy to raise, and the survival rate can be guaranteed whether it is planted in the ground or potted. However, there are still some mistakes that cannot be made. For example, when planting Chimonanthus praecox, you should choose a sunny place, and the terrain should be slightly higher than the plane, at least not low-lying. When planting, you only need to plant it lightly. In fact, after understanding the most basic growth habits of Chimonanthus praecox, you can make a judgment. Because Chimonanthus praecox likes the environment with good lighting, but it is afraid of water accumulation.

Potted Chimonanthus praecox should be cultivated in loose and fertile sandy soil. After the pot is served, the root water must be thoroughly poured and slowly soaked in a cool and ventilated place for half a month. During this period, water should be sprayed regularly to moisturize. You can go to a well-lit place for maintenance after you survive. A key point of Chimonanthus praecox conservation is July-August, which is the flower bud differentiation period of Chimonanthus praecox. It is necessary to provide sufficient nutrients and fertilize once every half month to help flower buds differentiate. If Chimonanthus praecox wants to blossom more, it should not only choose the right varieties, but also provide sufficient nutrients during the flower bud differentiation period, instead of believing some hearsay on the Internet, such as controlling water in summer and flowering more in winter, which are unreliable.

In order to make wintersweet blossom more, pruning is very important in addition to adequate nutrient supply and excellent varieties. We know that the pruning of Chimonanthus praecox is generally pruning some long branches, weak branches and some branches that affect the tree shape, but this is far from enough. Chimonanthus praecox must be pruned several times a year. Only by combining some pruning skills and maintenance work after pruning can we have a beautiful shape and a fragrant flower.

The pruning time, in addition to the general post-flowering pruning, is mainly pruning in the dormant period, and then pruning properly in line with the growth period. The main pruning work during dormancy is to cut off branches at all levels to ensure the crown shape. However, the bud points of cuttings need to change in different positions, otherwise it is very easy to grow into a crown. Secondly, pruning long branches, old branches, weak branches, diseased branches and over-dense branches. In the regeneration period, we mainly carry out some technical pruning, such as coring, bud smearing, rooting and tillering, and residual flowers that we need to do repeatedly in the growth period. The importance of pruning is beyond doubt. It can not only keep the tree shape and make a shape, but also avoid nutrient loss, which is extremely powerful for plant growth.

Maintenance of wintersweet after pruning is also very important. For example, wintersweet, like watering, has the title of immortality, but you can't keep doing this. If you want wintersweet to grow fast, the water supply should be sufficient, and the soil in the basin should always be moist, as long as the watering can be reduced appropriately after late autumn. So is fertilization. In the vigorous growth period, about 10 days, thin fertilizer can be applied once to promote flower bud differentiation. Chimonanthus praecox also likes light. If it is maintained indoors, it needs to find a well-lit environment for maintenance. If not, or the light is not good, you need to move outdoors frequently for maintenance and rotation.
