How to make kumquat bonsai look good

Cultivation of seedlings

The cultivation of kumquat can be obtained by sowing, cutting, grafting and so on. Grafting is usually carried out in May-June and can bear fruit one to two years after grafting. Sowing is best in March-April of each year, when sowing, cover 1-2 cm of soil and cover with film. After the seedlings are unearthed, they gradually lift the film, remove the film after exercise, stop fertilizing in autumn, prevent the seedlings from growing and affect the overwintering. In the process of seedling growth, attention should be paid to coring in order to promote thicker growth.

Upper basin colonization

Select the seedlings with well-developed roots and strong growth, plant in the pot before germination in spring, select a flowerpot with a diameter of 20-25 cm, and put a broken tile on the water seepage hole. The cultivation soil trees are made of rotten leaf soil and compost or horse dung soil. 3 cm along the mouth is required to be left after potting, in order to facilitate watering. 7-10 days after planting, the seedlings can send new roots. At this time, clear dung water can be fertilized, and the basin can be poured once in 2-3 years. 40-50 grams of cake fertilizer or pulp residue is added as base fertilizer when changing the basin, and the time is in autumn, after turning green a little bit.

How to water potted kumquat

Kumquat only needs to properly control the amount of water during the period of flower bud differentiation and water only when the upper tender leaves wilt slightly, so as to control the excessive vegetative growth of plants and promote flower bud differentiation. The amount of water should be restored gradually after the completion of flower bud differentiation. Flowering and fruit setting period should not be watered, stable fruit before normal watering, but can not accumulate water in the basin to avoid fruit drop.

Due to the inhibition of the root system of kumquat, although there is no shortage of nutrients in the pot, the nutrient supply of the root system to the plant is still limited, so it is inevitable to lose fruit, so it is better to take the method of actively thinning flowers and fruits to avoid wasting nutrients. The number of fruits should be determined according to the specific circumstances. Generally in the axilla of the same leaf, sometimes 8 flower buds are produced, one can be left; 2 to 8 buds and 1 to 2 fruits are left on each branch.

Picking and pruning kumquat shoots many times a year can form flower buds, which can promote flower bud differentiation, blossom more and bear more fruit when spring shoots grow to 5 murals and 6 leaves. A pruning is carried out before the spring shoots germinate to make the germinating branches strong and well shaped.

Avoid spraying water during flowering to prevent rain during flowering, and do not spray water on blooming flowers, which is not conducive to pollination, but also easy to cause rotten flowers.

Due to lack of light, kumquat prefers warm, humid and sunny environment, which is placed in the place of insufficient indoor sunlight for a long time, resulting in weak plant growth, affecting flower bud differentiation and fruiting.

Avoid alkaline kumquat like acidic soil, potted plants in the north can be irrigated with fertilizer and water once a week, or potassium dihydrogen phosphate topdressing, or irrigated with 200 Mel 250 times vinegar water combined with fertilization every week, which is beneficial to thick green leaves, luxuriant growth and more fruit.

Fengshui effect of potted kumquat

According to fengshui, trees are divided into two categories: auspicious and auspicious. There are two criteria for the classification of the assailant:

First, it should be divided according to whether there is poison gas and venom. Such as oleander flowers are poisonous, flower fragrance is easy to make people drowsy, reduce human function, is a ferocious tree, should not be planted.

The second is to talk about auspiciousness in terms of the shape of the tree, such as "the big tree is strange, angry and famous", "the tree bends its back, and Ding's wealth retreats", "the tree is like a volt, and there are many diseases in the snail's home" and so on. Trees that are not upright and dignified in appearance and abnormal in development are fierce. I'm afraid this is due to the psychological role or the traditional humanistic aesthetic concept.

As for the auspicious tree, it is determined on the basis of plant characteristics, moral meaning and even homophonic sound, and people tend to share this view in real life, such as palm, orange, locust, banyan, jujube and pomegranate.

Planting trees and flowers can create a four-statue pattern of "left Azure Dragon, Zuo Baihu, former Vermilion Bird, and post-Black Tortoise", that is, big trees are planted at the back of the house, medium trees are planted on the left and right sides, and low shrubs are planted in front or recommended. This way meets the psychological needs of people looking for "fengshui treasure land".

The meaning of the orange tree is very good, so it is suitable for planting.

Can potted kumquat be eaten?

Kumquat is mainly ornamental in potted plants, and the fruit is sour and generally not eaten.

Potted kumquats are non-toxic to eat, and generally after years of cultivation, deliberately make it taste bad, avoid the danger of being picked. It tastes pure, just because it's too sour-it's hard to taste!

Teach you a way to eat: take 4-5 mature kumquats, peel and remove the seeds (the juice is particularly bitter), press with a stainless steel spoon and rinse with cold boiled water to remove the dregs to get juice, add 20-50 times cold boiled water and the right amount of sucrose to mix and drink.

Every time I see kumquat, I will feel particularly lovely. The small kumquat is like a golden treasure hanging on the tree. What is charming is not only its appearance, but also its implication. Keeping an orange tree at home is a symbol of good luck. No plant can miss its feng shui effect.
