The northern region is not suitable for growing southern fruits, but driven by curiosity, most of the most potted flowers are tropical and subtropical foliage and fruit flowers, and the money orange is one of them. Money oranges can also be viewed in the spring in the environment with higher indoor temperatures, and the fruit is less sour and edible, which is called the annual orange. So, what is the fear of growing money oranges?
1. Money oranges are most afraid of alkaline soils and soils with heavy soils. Originated in Guizhou, the money orange is suitable for slightly acidic and neutral soils, and grows poorly in alkaline soils, often showing symptoms such as iron deficiency yellow leaves. Soils where oranges are planted are preferably humus soils with higher humus. Soil clay weight is not conducive to root growth and development, and will also produce the phenomenon of root decay.
2. Money oranges are afraid of low temperatures. In the subtropical region of Shangluo City, which is 500 meters above sea level, the aboveground part of the money orange is frozen to death every few years, especially in higher altitude areas and temperate areas. When the temperature drops below 10 ° C every year, it is necessary to go all the way to the room, keep the temperature at 6-12 ° C, you can avoid frostbite, and in the cold season, you need to put a plastic bag on the canopy to keep warm. If there is indoor heating or other heating facilities, the fruit can be hung on the tree all the time to achieve the purpose of ornamentation.
3. Money oranges are afraid of bright light and high temperatures. Money orange like light is not tolerant to shade, long-term lack of light will cause the phenomenon of long, falling flowers and fruits, in the high temperature and strong light of June-August, it is necessary to move the potted money orange to the position of half shade and half yang for maintenance, or take shading measures to reduce the light intensity, avoid the leaves are burned, and keep the temperature at 25-30 ° C, which is conducive to plant growth and results.
4. Money oranges are afraid of standing water. Money oranges like the soil moisture environment, but are afraid of standing water, otherwise it will cause rotten roots, so it is suitable for larger pots to be planted, and tile pots are the best. During the growing season, it should be dry and not wet, and water once when the surface of the potting soil is dry to avoid leaf wilting.
In general, the money orange belongs to tropical and subtropical plants, planted in the north, the air humidity is small, air dryness and cold air interference is the root cause of the death of money orange, the choice of sand loam soil and forest soil mixed configuration into pot soil for planting, to avoid strong light and water, winter attention to cold protection, three years to replace a large pot, combined with water fertilizer management and whole branch shape, you can breed very well.
