Generally, potted citrus reticulata can only grow well in ventilated and sunny places. The growth of orange trees requires strict soil fertility, air permeability and good drainage. Generally, water every 2-3 days and fertilize every 14- 17 days. The cultivation method of potted citrus reticulata is described in detail below.

I. Maintenance methods

1, moisture

Water can be watered once every 2-3 days in mild season, but it is hot in summer, so you can increase the number of water replenishment, but don't water frequently. Avoiding watering at noon in summer will do harm to potted plants.

2. Land

The soil for cultivating potted citrus reticulata should be rich in humus, loose and fertile, and well drained. The PH value of the soil is preferably 5.5-6.5, and the application of acid fertilizer is the best. For example, in water-soluble fertilizers, the formula is scientific, reasonable and comprehensive, and the dosage is generally diluted by 300-500 times. Combined with water application, high nitrogen type was selected in the early growth stage, and high potassium type was selected after citrus began to color. Fertilization time mainly germinates in spring, and the effect is better once every half month.

3. sunshine

Potted orange trees are afraid of strong light. Too strong light can easily burn leaves. So you need to grow under a shade shed in summer. In autumn and winter, it should be placed in a sunny place in the house, so that it can fully receive the light. In spring, the window can be properly ventilated to adapt to the outdoor temperature, and then it can be taken out for outdoor maintenance.

Second, trim regularly.

Prune citrus reticulata regularly, because the orange tree species are in the pot, and the space is relatively small, so the nutrients that can be provided are naturally less. Therefore, the branches and leaves of orange trees should be pruned regularly to remove miscellaneous branches and diseased leaves.
