The flowers are beautiful and the fruits are sweet and sour, but unfortunately it grows in the mountains far away from the city, and it is still a little inconvenient to get close to it. Wouldn't it be nice if we could let it grow at home, so that we could see the flowers and pick the fruits more closely? Fortunately, it is not a large plant, and it is very easy to maintain, so we can grow it at home. Today, let's learn about the planting method of Pengyu!
illumination
The amount of flowering and fruiting is very large, and if you want to bloom and bear more fruits, you need to maintain it in a sunny place. However, it also has a good negative tolerance, and can grow normally in the shade, and can also be moved into the shade to plant when there are no conditions, but the amount of flowers and fruits will decrease significantly.
temperature
Pengyu grows in many places south of the Qinling Mountains, and planting it in these areas, whether indoor or outdoor, does not need to worry too much about the temperature, and the north needs to pay attention to heat preservation.
moisture content
Dry and wet are suitable, not dry. If you plant in the ground, except for the rooting and seedling stage, and the long-term drought, you can basically not worry about watering for the rest of the time. However, it should be noted that no matter indoors or outdoors, after successful pollination, watering needs to avoid drenching the flowers, so as not to wash away the pollen and cause the result to failure. Due to the heavy rain in April and May, the pollen of the canopy flowers is often washed away, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the fruit, but the slightly arid areas can produce good quality fruits. Therefore, at this time, watering should be paid attention to watering directly on the roots to avoid drenching the plants. If you plant in the ground, you can build a small canopy to shelter from the rain.
Soil fertilizer
It does not choose the soil and is more resistant to barrenness. Of course, in order for it to flower and bear fruit better, you can choose loose and airy soil rich in organic matter for planting, and top dressing in autumn and winter.
Pollination
There is no need to worry about pollination when planting outdoors, there will be bees to help. For indoor planting, you can use a small brush to brush the flowers, preferably evenly, to ensure that the fruits are neatly produced.
Prune and repot
The old branches of the fluff shoot bloom and bear fruit, so the old branches should not be pruned during the winter, and the pruning can be carried out after the fruiting period. Because the canopy relies on the underground root system to reproduce, the growth is fast, and it is easy to encroach on other plants, so it is necessary to pay attention to the control of ground planting, and the seedlings with a tendency to encroach can be dug up. Potted plants need to be divided and repotted regularly, so as to avoid the growth of the plants due to crowding of the underground root system in the pot.
