Sugar oranges can be potted. When planting, you can choose healthy seeds and sow them in soft flower soil for cultivation. Potted sugar oranges usually take three years to bear fruit, and grafted sugar oranges can bear a small amount of fruit in the second year. If the management is good, the third year is the high-yield period.

Fruiting time of potted sugar oranges

Generally, potted sugar oranges begin to bear fruit in June and July in summer, and the fruit matures around 10 in autumn. Its planting period is the same as other citrus fruit trees, and it can be planted after the new branch matures until the next new branch is pulled out.

Reasons why potted sugar oranges don't bear fruit

Because there is no pollination, sugar oranges generally do not bear fruit. First, after the sugar orange blooms, stick the pollen on the stigma with cotton swabs and toothpicks for artificial pollination, or move the plant outdoors. It is suggested that insects, bees and butterflies be used to complete pollination.

1, soil requirements: potted sugar oranges are limited by space, and soil nutrients may be insufficient. It is necessary to change the soil of potted plants regularly. Large potted plants should be changed according to the growth situation, and the soil should be loosened frequently, which is conducive to plant growth.

2. Fertilization requirements: Young sugar oranges should master the principle of thin fertilization and apply it once every 1~2 months, mainly with quick-acting fertilizers such as human excrement and urine and urea.

3. Reasonable pruning: Young potted sugar orange trees mainly adopt methods such as shaping, cutting short branches, controlling branches by wiping buds, thinning and fixing branches. Early fruiting trees should pay attention to thinning out excessive spring shoots, removing summer shoots, cultivating autumn shoots and inhibiting winter shoots to promote their flowering. Trees in good years mainly promote autumn shoots before summer.
