Brief introduction of potted citrus cultivation
The growth, flowering and fruiting of potted citrus are closely related to environmental conditions such as temperature, sunshine, moisture (humidity), soil, altitude and topography. These conditions have the greatest influence on the temperature. Orange trees are usually planted in early spring and rainy season every year. They like warm and humid climate and are slightly cold-resistant.
Potted oranges bear fruit for several years.
Potted oranges usually bear fruit in 2-3 years, but different planting techniques and planting environments will also cause different fruiting periods. In addition, the traditional oranges ripen from 10 to 1 autumn, but now there are also late winter and early spring from 12 to1due to the development of inclusion technology.
When will potted oranges bear fruit?
Potted citrus reticulata can blossom and bear fruit in two or three years. During this period, it is necessary to provide sufficient light, water and fertilizer in time to meet its growth needs.
Why don't potted oranges bear fruit?
The failure of potted oranges may be due to natural disasters and low temperature weather during flowering, which affects pollination. If fertilization is not timely, flower buds are difficult to differentiate, leading to pistil degradation and failure. In addition, indoor maintenance without artificial pollination will not bear fruit.
Key points of high-yield cultivation techniques for potted citrus
1. Fertilization: Fertilization of potted oranges should be based on trees, sky and thin soil. Plants with strong fertilizer tolerance, large growth and many fruits can be fertilized more, and vice versa. No fertilization during dormancy. If the potted soil itself is fertile, it can reduce fertilization, and if it is barren, it can increase fertilization times.
2. Pruning and shaping: potted oranges can be pruned in time to reduce the loss of nutrients and make the fruit grow better. In addition, it can also be trimmed into natural round heads, towers, one-legged cliffs, two-legged antlers, three-legged cups, weeping willows, dragons and so on.
3. Soil: Potted soil suitable for planting potted citrus is generally neutral, with a pH value of 4.5-7.5, and sandy loam or sandy soil rich in humus. If it is prepared by itself, it can be prepared by mixing decomposed pastoral soil, river sand and plant ash, grinding and sieving.
4. Water: Water frequently during the growing period to keep the soil moist, but it is not allowed to cause water accumulation. Water 1 time a day on sunny days in summer. If the soil is dry, replenish water 1 time on the same day, and irrigate water 1 time every day in spring and autumn. Control water in winter, and the water temperature for watering should be consistent with the soil temperature.
