CARE GUIDE

How to keep Malus Rockii.

Water

When transplanting Malus rockii, it's important to water thoroughly within the first two days, and again ten days later, to promote healthy growth. Afterward, adjust the watering schedule according to the climate: water every 1–2 days during the summer and every 3–5 days in the winter. It's best to water in the morning and avoid watering on rainy days to prevent root rot.

Pruning

Malus rockii flourishes with vibrant blooms and fruit. To maintain its health, it's best to prune in early spring. Focus on removing dead branches and thinning out crowded areas to improve air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant. Instead, engage in regular, light pruning which encourages better flowering and fruiting. Ensure you use clean, sharp tools for the best results.
