In order to make the crown of home potted kumquat uniform and beautiful, promote the germination of stout branches and cultivate robust fruiting mother branches, it is necessary to carry out shaping and pruning during the growth process. Generally, 2/3 buds should be erased after spring buds germinate, weak or over-dense buds should be removed in summer and early autumn from June to early August, and all buds issued after mid-August should be erased. During the flowering and fruiting period, special attention should be paid to thinning flowers and fruits, improving fruit setting rate, keeping potted oranges hanging on all sides, and improving ornamental value. After viewing the fruits in winter, you can pick them all from the end of March to the beginning of April, and then cut them when changing pots from the vernal equinox to Qingming. Potted kumquat is often grafted with Broussonetia papyrifera as rootstock, and the grafting method is docking method, which is carried out in June. Rootstocks should be potted one year in advance. After the grafting survives, the seedlings should grow mainly in nutrition, so that they can grow into plants as soon as possible, and at the same time, they can be properly pruned to form a certain tree shape. Generally, kumquat seedlings that survived in that year should be watered 1 time every day or every other day, and liquid fertilizer should be applied 4 ~ 5 times in summer and autumn, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, with appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. After the first frost, keep warm in the environment above 5 ~ 10Ci = for the winter. In March and April, change the pot. The culture soil can be humus, compost or horse manure, and a small amount of cake fertilizer or sauce residue is added. When changing pots, you must bring soil balls, adjust the growth through proper shaping and pruning, pour enough water after changing pots, and keep them in the greenhouse for 1 ~ 2 weeks.
