How to raise pomegranate flowers in spring
When spring returns to the earth, pomegranate flowers enter a rapid growth period. Scientific maintenance and management are directly related to the luxuriant branches and leaves of the plants and the quality of flowering. As a typical subtropical ornamental plant, pomegranate flowers have special needs for water, temperature, nutrition and other aspects in spring. Mastering the following three core maintenance points can help plants accumulate nutrients and lay the foundation for summer flowering. The spring water management of pomegranate flowers is scientific and the watering frequency adopts the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet", and watering is carried out when the surface layer 3 cm of soil is dry. 2-3 times a week in the southern region, and 3-4 times in the dry areas in the northern region. Continue watering every time until the bottom of the basin seeps. It is recommended to use a long-spout pot to slowly inject water along the edge of the basin to prevent water from impacting the roots. Leaf humidity control Use an atomizing spray can to replenish leaf water before 10 o'clock every day, focusing on the back of the leaves. When the air humidity is lower than 50%, a water pan can be set around the plants to increase humidity, but the surface of the pot soil should be kept dry to prevent root rot. Pomegranate flower temperature control plan Outdoor maintenance timing can be moved outdoors when the night temperature stabilizes above 12℃ and the temperature fluctuates ≤5℃ for 7 consecutive days. During the transition period, it is recommended to use semi-sunshine, and first adapt to it in the lee and sun for 3-5 days. Indoor insulation measures use double-layer insulation method: a distance of 30cm is reserved between the plant and the window, the outer layer is covered with a transparent plastic film, and the inner layer is hung with a sunshade net (light transmittance of 60%). Combined with the ceramsite pad, the root temperature can be increased by 2-3℃. Pomegranate flower nutrient replenishment strategy fertilizer ratio plan Apply compound fertilizer with N-P-K=15-5-10 during the germination period, and adjust it to 10-15-10 after leaf expansion. Self-made fertilizers recommend alternating use of banana peel enzyme (rich in potassium) and rice washing water (1:3 dilution), with an interval of 7-10 days. Top dressing operation specifications Solid fertilizer is applied in circular ditches, with a shallow ditch of 2 cm at a distance of 15cm away from the main trunk, and covered with soil after fertilization. Pay attention to avoid high temperature periods for liquid fertilizers, and avoid direct light within 6 hours after fertilization.
Through precise moisture control, temperature adjustment and nutritional management, pomegranate flowers can form full flower buds in spring. It is recommended to prune branches simultaneously, remove weak branches and crossing branches, and retain 45° oblique strong branches. Regularly inspect the back of the leaves to prevent aphids, and use garlic extract for biological control to create the best conditions for subsequent flowering.
