How to plant potted fruit on the balcony? Remember one "technique": strong branches and large, abundant fruit
What kind of soil is best for planting potted fruit on the balcony?
Because potted fruit trees are completely different from fruit trees grown outdoors. Trees grown in open fields can absorb nutrients from the soil and do not require much fertilization or maintenance to grow well. However, the space in a pot is limited, and the soil and nutrients are limited, so it is essential to use fertile, loose, breathable, and well-draining soil to grow fruit trees. Only by remembering this technique can potted fruit trees grow better.
Soil Mixing Method
The method of soil mixing for potted fruit trees is actually very simple. Decomposed leaf soil or peat should account for a large part, at least five-thirds of decomposed leaf soil or pine needle soil, and then add one-fifth of river sand or perlite, vermiculite, or if not available, adding some fine coal slag can also improve aeration and drainage.

Add Base Fertilizer
If there is decomposed cake fertilizer, chicken manure, or sheep manure, a small bowl can be added to the soil. This makes the soil rich, deep, and fertile. Adding base fertilizer and organic fertilizer allows the fruit trees to continue growing after planting without stunted growth and ensures the soil is loose and breathable.
Selecting a Pot
When planting potted fruit trees, choose a slightly larger pot with depth, an opening diameter of about 30 centimeters or more, and preferably not a porcelain pot. Porcelain pots have less breathability compared to plastic, ceramic, or earthenware pots. You can also use a large缸 with holes to plant potted fruit trees. Trees grown this way have stronger branches, lush foliage, and produce more fruit!
