To plant potted loquats, you first need to plant them in suitable flower pots. In summer, increase the frequency of watering and spray water appropriately. Generally, fertilize 3-4 times throughout the year. Fertilize once before thinning in late March and once in May. Fertilize for the second time before harvesting, in August when flower buds differentiate, and again in September during the budding stage. Also pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases.

Planting method

Planting

Plant loquat grafted seedlings in suitable flower pots. The substrate should be deep and well-drained. Good loam, soil accounts for about 70-80% of the pot, and some broken tiles or stones need to be placed at the bottom of the pot.

Watering

Loquats like moisture, keep the pot soil moist, increase the frequency of watering in summer, and combine it with spraying water to increase the humidity of the surrounding air.

Fertilization

Generally fertilize throughout the year 3-4 times. Fertilizer should be applied once before the spring shoots sprout and thin out around late March. The second fertilization is to apply a thin fertilizer before harvesting in May. Fertilizer can be applied once in August when the flower buds begin to differentiate. Fertilizer can be applied in September when the flower buds are differentiating and budding. One thin fat at a time.

Pests and diseases control

For the pests and diseases of potted loquats, ventilation and drainage control are the main ones. When the disease develops, 700 times of methylbuzine or 0.5-0.9% Bordeaux mixture should be sprayed for prevention and control. Pests can be prevented and controlled by artificial hunting and spraying with chemicals such as 90% of crystalline trichlorfon 1000 times.
