With the continuous pursuit of life quality by people, ornamental fruit plants are increasingly loved by everyone due to their unique ornamental value and ecological benefits. Ornamental fruit plants not only add a touch of brightness to our living environment but also bring the joy of harvest. This article will introduce the classification and maintenance skills of ornamental fruit plants in detail.
Classification of ornamental fruit plants1. Classification by fruit ripening season
(1) Spring fruit plants: such as begonia, cherry blossoms, etc., which can bear fruit shortly after flowering.
(2) Summer fruit plants: such as pomegranate, grape, etc., whose fruits ripen in summer.
(3) Autumn fruit plants: such as persimmon, citrus, etc., whose fruits ripen in autumn.
(4) Winter fruit plants: such as jujube, apple, etc., whose fruits ripen in winter.
2. Classification by fruit shape
(1) Round fruits: such as apples, pears, etc.
(2) Elliptical fruits: such as peaches, plums, etc.
(3) Long fruits: such as cucumbers, eggplants, etc.
(4) Round fruits: such as grapes, cherries, etc.
3. Classification by fruit color
(1) Red fruits: such as pomegranate, hawthorn, etc.
(2) Yellow fruits: such as persimmon, citrus, etc.
(3) Green fruits: such as green jujubes, cucumbers, etc.
(4) Purple fruits: such as mulberries, blackberries, etc.
Maintenance skills of ornamental fruit plants1. Choose a suitable planting location
Ornamental fruit plants have certain requirements for light, soil, water, and other conditions. When planting, choose a sunny and well-drained area. For shade-intolerant ornamental fruit plants, such as apples and pears, they should be planted in sunny locations.
2. Watering in time
Ornamental fruit plants need ample water during growth but should also avoid waterlogging. In dry seasons, water them in time to keep the soil moist. For drought-tolerant ornamental fruit plants, such as cacti, the frequency of watering can be reduced.
3. Fertilization
Ornamental fruit plants need ample nutrients during growth. In spring, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to promote plant growth; during the fruit ripening period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied to improve fruit quality. When fertilizing, follow the principle of "frequent application of thin fertilizer."
4. Pruning
During the growth of ornamental fruit plants, pruning should be done in time to remove diseased and weak branches, crossed branches, etc., to maintain ventilation and light penetration. Pruning is usually done in spring and autumn.
5. Pest and disease control
Ornamental fruit plants are susceptible to pests and diseases. Preventive measures should be taken in time. During the growing season, regularly inspect the plants and take timely measures when pests or diseases are found. Common control methods include spraying pesticides and pruning diseased branches.
Ornamental fruit plants are diverse, with high ornamental value and ecological benefits. Understanding the classification and maintenance skills of ornamental fruit plants helps us appreciate and take better care of these beautiful plants. In the future, let's pay more attention to ornamental fruit plants and add a touch of green to our lives.
