Pomegranate does not have strict soil requirements. The soil pH value is between 4.5 and 8.2. It should be equipped with nutrient soil rich in organic matter, preferably sandy loam rich in humus. Generally, take 4 parts of mature pastoral soil, 2 parts of river sand and 1 part of plant ash, mix them thoroughly and then grind and sieve them finely. Potting soil should be disinfected before use. Pomegranate likes warmth. The absolute minimum temperature is higher than 15℃, and the maximum temperature does not exceed 30℃. The average temperature is

20℃. 2

Cultivation technology 2.1

Use cuttings to plant cuttings to enrich full second-year branches. The cuttings are about 20cm long. Cut the lower end into a horse-ear shape and attach small branches to it. prune. First soak in water for a week, then treat with rooting agent for 4 hours and then make cuttings in pots. Half a year after the cuttings were taken, they are growing well. 2.2

Tending and management (1) Loose soil: Loosen soil and weed every 1-2 months. (2) Fertilization: Pomegranates like more fertilizer than ordinary potted flowers and trees, so base fertilizer should be applied when repotting. Apply 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate 2-3 times. (3) Light: Light

Light is the key point of potted pomegranate technology. It must be combined with the overall technical application of light and water to better form the sufficient growth and nutrient supply of potted pomegranates, during the emergence of flower buds and throughout the whole plant. During the growth process, proper lighting control can achieve good results.

During the pomegranate bud period, in addition to sufficient light, the pot soil should also be kept dry. When the leaves are slightly wilted, you can first place the pomegranate in the shade for about 0.5 hours. After the temperature of the pot soil and pomegranate plant has dropped,

spray water on the leaves and wait for a while. Water the pot. Repeat this several times, and flower buds will appear in about 20 days. (4) Pollination: If rainy weather occurs during the flowering period, natural pollination will be affected. At this time, the pomegranate should be moved to a ventilated and rain-proof place, and then placed in the sun for maintenance after the weather clears. Pomegranate flowers are divided into male and female flowers. The male flowers have a large front end and a small connection between the rear part and the flower stalk. The female flowers have a small front end and a large part between the rear part and the flower stalk. In order to increase the fruit setting rate, artificial pollination can be assisted. The method is: when the first flower has just opened, use a brush to lightly tap the stamens a few times, and then use the pen to lightly tap the pistils. Tap it a few times and repeat this several times to help pollinate it. It is best to pollinate in the morning. The weather is hot at noon, which is not good for pollination. (5) Pruning and thinning: When shaping, you can leave one trunk upward according to the requirements, often remove the remaining sprouts, and short-cut the trunk at 80cm to 100cm, and regenerate 3 to 4 branches on the upper part.

The main branches are gradually cultivated into a natural round-shaped crown. Pomegranates should be pruned and reshaped after falling leaves or before budding in spring. If there are too many flower buds, some should be cut off in time; after fruit setting, unnecessary fruits should be cut off according to the shape

The layout should be staggered and sparse. Dense and consistent, it not only loses the visual beauty, but also facilitates fruit growth.
