In addition to the above, bergamot also has a good medicinal effect, seeing so many advantages, many people want to raise bergamot, right? But how to raise the bergamot bought? Now Sister Rong will teach you how to maintain it.
1. Bought bergamot turned over the pot in time
If you buy a bergamot, you can turn the pot directly, because the flower pot you buy is usually a simple flower pot. At this time, you can slightly remove some of the soil outside, and then add some cake fertilizer, humus, vermiculite perlite mixed soil.
The advantage of turning the pot in this way is that it will not affect the root of the bergamot, and you can directly serve the pot after potting, and some base fertilizer is added to make the bergamot grow faster.
Flower pots used for turning pots can be used with air permeability and good water permeability, clay pots, etc. The size of the pot can be one size larger than the original pot, which makes it easier to turn the pot and can also add some nutrients to promote the growth of bergamot.
2. Keep in the sun
Bergamot is a plant that likes sunlight very much, so it is recommended to keep it in a sunny place at home, such as the south balcony at home, the south window sill, and the sunny place in the living room, with more than 4 hours of direct light every day.
But in summer, when the sun is too strong, it also needs proper shade, or it is kept in a place with scattered light, because the bergamot of potted plants will sunburn the leaves when exposed to strong sunlight.
3. Fertilization to promote growth and fruit
If you want bergamot to grow fast and bear fruit easily, it is recommended to use organic fertilizer, such as fermented sesame cake fertilizer, which can not only be used as a base fertilizer when turning over the pot and changing the soil. It can also be used as fertilizer during the growing season of bergamot.
Regular use of some organic fertilizer can also make the soil of bergamot loose and breathable, and the soil will be kept slightly acidic, which will not make the bergamot soil compact, affect the growth of the root system, and appear yellow leaves and fallen leaves.
The use of organic fertilizer for bergamot can be used during the vigorous growth period, that is, once every 20 days or so.
Before and after the flowering of bergamot and before the ripening of bergamot, potassium dihydrogen phosphate is also used. This will promote the flowering and fruiting of bergamot, and it will also allow the fruit to ripen earlier and taste better. Use potassium dihydrogen phosphate every 15 days or so.
4. Likes to be moist
Bergamot likes a humid environment very much, the air is too dry, it will dry out the leaves of bergamot, and the bergamot that bears fruit is easy to fall. Therefore, when the air is dry, you need to spray water frequently to make the air moister.
But don't let the pot often have stagnant water, because bergamot is afraid of waterlogging and drought, but there is often water in the potting soil, and the roots of bergamot can not breathe oxygen well, and there will be rotten roots. It is also necessary to do a good job of ventilation, especially in the summer when the temperature is high, to prevent the occurrence of high temperature and humidity leading to the occurrence of bergamot pests and diseases.
Bergamot prefers a warm environment and grows slowly or even stops growing in winter. At this time, bergamot needs to be watered less and the soil is slightly moistened. Moreover, the watering time also needs to be warm to prevent the low temperature at night, which will lead to low temperature root rot of bergamot.
Conclusion: It turns out that there are so many benefits to raising a pot of bergamot at home! Hurry up and raise it! Do you have a bergamot at home? If not, raise a pot of bergamot quickly, because it has too many advantages!
