Many flower lovers will buy a pot of kumquats on the eve of the Spring Festival, because kumquats have the beautiful meaning of "great luck, full of gold and jade". Autumn is the same as the kumquat, you can also enjoy more flowers for a period of time, and the price will be much lower. Some flower friends in the cultivation of kumquats, if the maintenance is not proper, there will be easy to fall fruit after flowering, which is mainly the reason for four aspects, that is, fertilization, watering, sunlight, and temperature, the next sister will come to analyze for you one by one.
1. Reasonable fertilization
Kumquats prefer fat and are also afraid of growing fat and thick fat. If there is a lack of fertilizer, it is easy to fall fruit after flowering. However, if too much fertilizer is applied, after the occurrence of fertilizer damage, it will be easy to sit still and fruitless. There is also a time to fertilize kumquat, apply too much nitrogen fertilizer before flowering, and it is also easy for the flowers to fall early and it is not easy to set fruit.
Fertilization management: To fertilize kumquat, we can use nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ternary fertilizer, which can play a role in promoting flower bud differentiation and branch growth. When it comes to the flowering and fruiting period, it is necessary to use phosphate fertilizer as the mainstay, we can add calcium superphosphate to the nitrogen fertilizer, so that it can play a role in promoting fruit setting, generally we can apply a thin liquid fertilizer once in 8 to 10 days.
There are also kumquats that like slightly acidic soils, and if alkaline water is often used for watering, kumquats are also prone to falling flowers and fruits. So we can give kumquats a 0.2% ferrous sulfate water-soluble fertilizer every 30 days or so, or mix it with liquid fertilizer and apply it.
2. Properly water
Kumquats like a humid environment, but also afraid of water, once the water, kumquat is prone to root rot, so it is easy to fall flowers and fruits. However, the soil is too dry, and kumquats are also prone to leaf fallen fruit. So how to water properly?
Watering advice: We water the kumquats, in the spring and autumn, you can wait for the soil to dry after the watering once. In the summer heat, in addition to watering the kumquat in the morning or evening, you should often spray water around the pot to keep the air moist.
In the winter, kumquats are in a semi-dormant state, the water demand is relatively small, and the amount of water evaporation is relatively small, so watering also needs to be less. If you water the kumquat, you can water it at high temperatures at noon to prevent low temperature rotten roots at night.
3, plenty of sunshine
Kumquat likes plenty of sunlight, if the sunlight is insufficient, it is easy to have less flowering, less fruit set, and even not easy to do fruit, so be sure to pay attention to some.
We raise kumquats that we can keep in full sunlight in the spring, autumn and winter. Summer temperature exceeds 37 degrees, it is necessary to raise in the scattered light environment, because the temperature exceeds 37 degrees, kumquat is prone to dormancy, in this case, it is not conducive to kumquat fruit setting.
4. Warm environment
Kumquats like a warm environment, the suitable temperature during the growth period is 23 to 29 degrees, when the temperature is higher than 37 degrees or less than 10 degrees, it is unfavorable for the growth of kumquats, and it will be prone to dormant states such as deciduous leaves or fruit fallen.
Temperature suggestion: When raising kumquats in winter, you can raise them indoors at more than 15 degrees, the temperature is too low, which is not conducive to the growth of kumquats, and there will be fruit drops, so be sure to pay attention to keep warm.
In the summer heat, we can raise kumquats in scattered light places, and it is a well-ventilated environment, and when the weather is dry, we must often spray water around the pots. This can not only play a cooling role, but also reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, because once the pests and diseases appear, the kumquat will also appear to fall fruit.
Kumquat blossom after the emergence of fruit, mainly and improper fertilization, too little watering, insufficient sunlight, too low temperature has a relationship, as long as we do the above 4 points, the red chrysanthemum can be hung full of branches, and there is a very beautiful meaning, raising at home makes people look at the heart is particularly comfortable.
