Cultivation of seedlings: obtained by sowing, cutting, grafting, etc. Planting in pots: Before germination in spring, select seedlings with well-developed and strong root systems and plant them in flower pots with a diameter of 20-25 cm. New roots will appear on the seedlings in 7-10 days. Water and fertilizer management: Water once every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, once a day on sunny days in summer, and once every 7 days in winter. Fertilizer should be added after germination in spring, and a small amount of urea can be added during the flowering and fruiting stages.

Cultivation of seedlings

Cultivating kumquats can be obtained by sowing, cutting, grafting and other methods. Grafting is usually carried out in May-June, and the fruit will be produced one to two years after grafting. It is best to sow seeds in March-April every year. When sowing, cover them with 1-2 cm of soil and cover them with film. Gradually remove the film after the seedlings are unearthed, remove the film after exercise, and stop fertilizing in autumn to prevent the seedlings from overgrowing and affecting their overwintering. During the growth process of seedlings, pay attention to topping to promote thickening growth.

Planting in upper pots

Choose seedlings with well-developed root systems and strong growth, and plant them in pots before germination in spring. Choose a flower pot with a diameter of 20-25 cm and put a broken tile on the seepage hole. To cultivate the soil trees, use leaf mold soil and compost or horse manure soil. It is required to leave a 3 cm edge after potting to facilitate watering. 7-10 days after planting, the seedlings can develop new roots. At this time, clean the soil. When fertilizing with manure and water, the pot can usually be repotted once every 2-3 years. When changing pots, 40-50 grams of cake fertilizer or slurry residue is added as base fertilizer. The time is in autumn, after the autumn turns green.

Fertilizer and water management

Water every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, and once a day on sunny days in summer to maintain the pot soil. The water content is about 70%. In winter, it depends on the overwintering environment. Generally, it is watered once every 7 days.

Fertilizer should be added after germination in spring. A small amount of urea can be added during the flowering and fruiting stages. As the growth increases, the concentration of liquid fertilizer increases accordingly.

Gold The tree shape of tangerine adopts natural semicircle, column or tower shape. The principle of pruning before fruiting is to leave a 10cm heavy cut rod after the first shoot of the single-bud grafted seedling has matured. After the main branch has become lignified, it will be cut before the new shoot is harvested, and then shorted to promote the growth of new shoots. At the same time , strengthen fertilizer and water, strive for multiple shoots that year, and expand the crown.
