Orange potted plants, the greenery of the home Imagine on a sunny afternoon, you are personally taking care of an orange tree full of golden fruits on the balcony of your home. What kind of comfort is it? In fact, potted oranges at home is not an out of reach. As long as you master some tips, you can easily have your own green little world.
Choosing the right seeds If you want to plant oranges, you must first start with the seeds. You can choose some freshly ripe oranges and remove the seeds from them. Remember, the seeds must be fresh so as to ensure the germination rate.
Soak seeds Soak the seeds in clear water, change the water once a day to keep the seeds moist. This process takes about a week, and careful care should be taken during this period to prevent the seeds from drying up.
Plant seeds Prepare pots and soil, and bury the seeds in the soil, about 3 centimeters deep. Water every day to keep the soil moist, and the seeds will germinate in about three weeks.
Choose the right potted plant and choose a flowerpot of the right size, preferably round, which will help the root system spread evenly in all directions. At the same time, the flower pot has better air permeability and water permeability to ensure the oxygen demand for root growth.
Soil substrate Orange trees prefer slightly acidic soil and can choose sandy loam or sandy soil rich in humus. Before planting, you can first fill the basin bottom with some coarse sand or waste coal slag to improve water permeability, and then fill it with soil.
Light Orange trees like sunshine, so place the potted plants in a sunny place. It can be moved indoors for bonsai maintenance in winter, and it is best to leave it outside in other seasons.
Temperature Orange trees like warmth. When the temperature is too high in summer, pay attention to shade to prevent young fruits from falling off caused by high temperatures. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter to avoid frostbite.
Water orange trees requires acidic soil. When watering, you can add a suitable amount of ferrous sulfate to balance the pH value. More water is needed during the growing period, watering it once a day, twice in summer if the temperature is too high, and water must be controlled in winter.
Fertilization and fertilization should be determined based on the size of the tree and the fertility of the soil. Generally, if kumquat trees are larger, more fertilizer can be applied, and if the trees are small or the soil is fertile, less fertilizer should be applied. Too much fertilization will cause fruit drop, so the specific fertilization plan must be decided according to actual conditions.
Pruning orange trees also requires pruning to keep the tree shape beautiful. Branches need to be pruned while growing, and only two lateral buds are needed for each branch. Pickling is carried out in June every year. After pickling, new branches grow and usually mature within two months.
Flowering management Don't water too much water when oranges are blooming and bearing fruit, but reduce it. Too much or too little water or too much or too little fertilizer can cause flowers and fruits to fall off. Don't pour water on oranges when they are blooming. We can sprinkle some water around the pot to keep the air moist.
Fruit setting management When oranges grow to the size of peas, you must water more and fertilize more. Because oranges are grown in cans, malnutrition is likely to occur later. If there is no nutrition, citrus blossoms less and grows less, so during the fruit period, special fertilizer for vegetables and fruits is applied every 10 days.
Potting oranges at home requires patience and care. As long as you master these skills, you can easily have your own green little world. Come and give it a try and make your home full of vitality and vitality!
