This article will provide a detailed explanation of the pomelo tree potted landscape creation method, allowing you to easily create your own elegant green mini potted landscape at home.
Selecting the right pomelo seedling.To create a pomelo tree potted landscape, it is first necessary to select the appropriate seedling. It is recommended to choose a strong-growing, well-shaped pomelo seedling, with 1-2-year-old seedlings being most suitable for making potted landscapes. When selecting seedlings, observe whether the root system is developed, the bark is smooth, and the trunk is sturdy.
Preparing tools and materials.The tools and materials needed for making pomelo tree potted landscapes include: a special pot for potted landscapes, potting soil, scissors, gardening shears, gardening wire, gardening knives, gardening tool sets, etc. When preparing materials, ensure that the potting soil has good breathability and drainage to benefit the growth of the pomelo tree.
Planting pomelo seedlings.- Choose a suitable location and place the special pot for potted landscapes on the ground.
- Spread potting soil evenly on the bottom of the pot, with a thickness of about 5-10 centimeters.
- Place the pomelo seedling in the pot and adjust the shape of the tree to keep the trunk straight.
- Fill in the potting soil and gently compact it to ensure the seedling is stable.
- Pruning: During the growth of the pomelo tree, it is necessary to prune regularly to remove diseased and weak branches, crossed branches, and inward-facing branches to maintain an elegant tree shape. When pruning, be sure to retain the main and lateral branches to benefit the growth of the tree.
- Shaping: According to personal preference, the pomelo tree can be shaped into a straight trunk style, curved trunk style, cliff style, etc. During the shaping process, pay attention to the curvature of the trunk and the distribution of branches to make the potted landscape more ornamental.
- Watering: Pomelo trees prefer a moist environment but should not accumulate water. During the growing season, keep the soil moist and water every 2-3 days. In winter, the watering frequency can be reduced appropriately.
- Fertilizing: During the growing season, fertilize every 20-30 days, mainly using compound fertilizer in moderate amounts. When fertilizing, avoid direct contact between fertilizer and the trunk and leaves.
- Sunlight: Pomelo trees enjoy sunlight and should be placed in a well-lit area.
- Temperature: The suitable growth temperature for pomelo trees is between 15-30 degrees Celsius. Prevent low-temperature frost damage in winter.
