Presumably, the garden of flower lovers is full of all kinds of plants, whether it is flowers or fruits and vegetables, the popularity must have been planted. Today Huahua would like to introduce a fruit for you, although it is more common to plant in large areas at present, but the potted plant is also very simple and suitable, it is the kiwi fruit we often eat.
Kiwi fruit like high temperature, not hardy, can not accept the low temperature below 5 ° C, generally in May, June is its flowering period, August to October is the season to eat fruit, seedling period like to grow in the shade, slowly mature after the need for sufficient sunlight to supplement the nutrients of the fruit, the general kiwi tree produces a large amount of fruit, large, planting a tree is very cost-effective.
1. Potted plants
1. Take seeds
The seeds of the kiwi fruit we usually eat are its seeds, so when eating kiwi fruit, you can directly wash the pulp with clean water and pick out the seeds one by one. If you are worried that the quality of the seeds obtained by this method is not high, you can buy them directly at the farmers' market or online, which is more worry-free and convenient.
2. Germination
Put the selected seed - at this time should be called a seed, put it in warm water, soak for about two days, take it out and put it on a wet paper towel, place it in a warmer position, and you can wait for germination.
3. Sowing
Like the watermelons planted by friends on the balcony, kiwifruit is also divided into two states, male and female, so artificial pollination is required to make the kiwi fruit, usually it takes both male and female trees, or the branches of the male tree are grafted on the female tree, and the kiwi fruit grown by these two methods can flower and bear fruit faster.
Here, the focus of flowers is to talk about the method of sowing seeds, because it is more feasible to operate by yourself.
Because the root system of kiwifruit is developed, the growth is vigorous, and the requirements for water and fertilizer are relatively high, so first of all, we must choose a container with a relatively large caliber, and generally choose a clay pot with a caliber of about 40 cm that is most suitable.
The germinated seeds are directly placed on the soil, and the soil should be loose and fertile, and the air permeability is good, which can be mixed with humus and sandy soil. Gently cover it with a thin layer of soil, and the seedlings will germinate in about 5 to 7 days. Or wait for the kiwi seedlings to germinate, and then transplant the seedlings when the leaves grow about 5 or 6 pieces.
After transplanting, the seedlings should remember to water, and slowly flow into the water along the easy surroundings, and the first time you need to water it thoroughly.
Second, buy seedlings (do not choose the case of potted plants)
The seedlings of kiwi fruit obtained by sowing seeds will grow slowly, and it generally takes about 3 years to flower and bear fruit, but the fruitless kiwi tree also has good ornamental value. If you feel that the time is too long and you don't want to wait too long, you can choose to buy seedlings.
Of course, personally picking seedlings in the market will be more assured, you can also buy online, small seedlings can choose to stay in the soil more, large seedlings will have to bring good soil balls, generally spring and autumn kiwi seedlings root system will be more developed, grafting will be more complete. The purchased seedlings must be repeatedly checked to see if there are any pests and diseases, just in case.
3. Conservation
1. Light temperature
Kiwifruit has higher requirements for sunshine, and the more well-lit the fruit tree, the larger and more kiwi fruit will grow. Sufficient light during the flowering period will also make the flowers of the kiwi tree bloom large and beautiful, and shading work is only needed under the scorching sun on three volt days, otherwise there is no need for special shade. Maintaining an environment of 20 to 30 °C is conducive to the growth of fruits.
2. Water and fertilizer
The moisture of the kiwi fruit please try to maintain stability, so that it is always in a humid environment is the best, sufficient water can make the fruit get a good nourishment, the fruit inside the juice will also be a lot. Water less during the rainy season or during dormancy.
Because kiwifruit is rich in nutrients, the requirements for their own nutrients are also very high. Before germination, it is mostly nitrogen fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, and after the results, phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer are generally applied, and liquid fertilizer can be applied normally.
I can't imagine that kiwifruit can also be planted at home, learn these breeding methods, you can harvest a full pot of kiwifruit, you can eat it at home. What experience do friends have in farming kiwifruit?
