Grapefruit saplings can be planted in autumn from September to November, or when they first sprout from February to March. The loam soil needs to be deep and well-drained, preferably sandy loam. Plow the soil before planting and dig holes according to diameter. Prune the roots of the sapling moderately, plant it in the hole upright, and then pour root-fixing water. After the growth is stable, apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer.

1. Planting time

1. Planting time

The time for planting grapefruit saplings is mainly divided into two periods. They can be planted from September to November in autumn. At this time, the old shoots have matured and will cause less damage. You can also choose to plant seeds in February-March when they are just sprouting, which will help them survive later and allow the plants to adapt to the environment as soon as possible.

2. Soil requirements

Planting The requirements for loam soil for saplings are not very strict, and there are not many requirements. They only need to ensure that the soil layer is deep and has good drainage. Sandy loam is best, but it must ensure good nutrition and sufficient nutrients. Plow the soil before planting to keep the soil active, and dig a hole according to the diameter. Make sure the hole is large enough and deep enough.

3. Planting

Prune the roots of the saplings moderately to remove old and rotten roots. Fill the pit with organic fertilizer and cover it with a layer of soil. Place the sapling in the center of the pit, spread the roots, straighten it and plant it into the pit. While filling the soil, lift the sapling up. This will promote the combination of the sapling and the soil. Then slowly step on it firmly. After completion, pour root-fixing water so that the roots can better adhere to the soil, and cover the soil with straw.

4. Later maintenance

After the growth is stable, an appropriate amount of fertilizer should be applied, mainly root fertilization, but also combined with foliar fertilization.
