Kumquat is a plant that many people like, and it is a good sign of wealth to be raised at home, and the golden fruit is joyful.
Soil: Cultivated with soft, breathable and fertile soil, potted maintenance also needs to be changed regularly.
Temperature: It likes a warm environment is not hardy, it is best to provide an environment of 22-28 ° C, and the temperature control in winter is above 5 ° C.
Watering: Water frequently during growth to moisturize, but avoid standing water.
Fertilization: Apply thin fertilizer frequently during the peak growing season to ensure that the nutrients are sufficient and comprehensive, and cannot apply thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer.
Light: usually more sun, summer need to shade, otherwise it is easy to sunburn.
First, soil
Kumquat trees have high requirements for the soil, want it to grow vigorously, the soil used in cultivation is best soft, breathable and fertile, and the potted plants can be mixed with saprophyll soil, sand, decomposed organic fertilizer and garden soil, which can basically meet the needs. Homemade soil must be disinfected before it can be used, and the kumquat trees that pay attention to potted maintenance need to be changed regularly.
Second, the temperature
Kumquat prefers a warm environment and is very poorly hardy. From its growth habits, the most conducive to growth temperature is between 22-28 ° C, it is resistant to high temperatures, but in the summer high temperature environment must strengthen ventilation, ensure air circulation, to avoid infection with diseases and insect pests. In winter, warm measures need to be taken, the temperature control is above 5 ° C, not too high, otherwise it will germinate in advance, can not sleep normally, and will affect the growth of the second year.
3. Water
Kumquat trees prefer a humid environment, and during growth, it requires a lot of water, and the soil should not be too dry, otherwise it will affect growth. If the soil is found to be dry, it is necessary to water it in time to ensure that the soil is slightly wet, and it is strictly forbidden to accumulate water. If you encounter continuous rainy days, you need to do a good job of drainage, especially ground planting, it is easy to root. If the environment is dry, it is best to spray water around often with a watering can to increase the humidity.
Fourth, fertilize
During the growth period, the kumquat tree consumes more nutrients, and it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently to ensure that the nutrients are sufficient. Mainly to apply decomposing organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer, dilution after watering fertilizer liquid can be, so that the kumquat tree can be better absorbed, to avoid fertilizer damage, nutrition is more comprehensive, conducive to flowering and fruit. Note that it is strictly forbidden to apply thick or raw fertilizer, otherwise it is easy to burn the roots.
Fifth, lighting
Kumquat trees like light, and in a well-lit environment, they can better germinate and grow, and are also conducive to flowering and fruiting. Usually it can be placed in a good place of light, the growing season can be basked in all day of light, the summer light is too strong, at this time appropriate shade, take shading measures to avoid sunburn. If you are in a shaded environment for a long time, the branches and leaves are easy to grow, which will also affect the flowering and fruit.
