Snow willow is a plant that represents the joy of harvest. Therefore, many people keep a bunch of it at home. At the same time, it is very drought-tolerant and is an exclusive flower material in winter. If properly cared for, its flowering period can last for up to a month. Its flower language is "a withered tree comes to life again", indicating that life will become beautiful.
Among many branch-like plants, snow willow has an elegant line. How to maintain the fresh-cut flowers bought from the flower market? First, after removing the packaging, cut the root diagonally, and then prepare an unused and clean cloth to wipe off its epidermis. This operation can ensure that the water quality does not get dirty easily when inserted into the vase later. When maintaining, you can add more water to the vase. If you buy snow willow that looks like dry firewood and to avoid it from not blooming, it is recommended not to insert it directly into the vase. Instead, soak the entire branch in warm water for about an hour and then insert it into the vase.
After snow willow blossoms, both its flower shape and leaves are very beautiful. Therefore, it is also commonly seen in garden landscapes and potted decorations. Regarding the home maintenance of potted snow willow, first of all, give it sufficient sunlight, so it can be placed in a place with direct sunlight at home, such as a balcony or beside a window, to ensure at least 6 hours of sunlight every day.
In terms of soil, you can choose sandy soil rich in organic matter because this kind of soil has good drainage and is not prone to water accumulation. For watering, you can touch the soil with your hand, and the best state is when the soil is moist. It is recommended to water more during the vigorous growth period in spring and summer, and reduce the amount of watering in autumn and winter.
In terms of fertilization and pruning, apply an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer or balanced compound fertilizer in early spring and early summer of the growing season to provide necessary nutrients. In addition, pay attention to pruning dead branches and overly dense branches regularly to keep the air circulation of the plant and the passage for new branches to sprout. At the same time, it can also ensure the beauty of the shape.
Conclusion: Through the above meticulous maintenance, snow willow can thrive at home, bringing a natural atmosphere and a vibrant scene to the home space.
