3. Watering

Avocado trees are very sensitive to soil drought, which can lead to falling leaves and fruit when there is a lack of water, and the soil of the roots needs to be kept moist throughout the year. Watering should be adequate but avoid excessive. Root rot will be aggravated when the soil is too wet. Sprinkler irrigation or drip irrigation can be used and drainage should be paid attention to during the rainy season.

4. Fertilization

Reasonable fertilization should be applied within 1-4 years after avocado planting to promote the rapid growth of young trees. The type and quantity of fertilization should be determined according to soil fertility, tree age, plant growth and fruit.

In the young tree stage, the root system is easily damaged by nitrogen fertilizer, too much nitrogen fertilizer will make the branches and leaves grow and delay the fruiting period; in autumn and winter, it is necessary to stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to avoid winter shoot cold injury in frosty areas.

Planting methods and matters needing attention of avocado

I. planting methods

1. To prepare potted soil, the bottom must be covered with gravel. It is best to choose loose and fertile potted soil. Rotten leaf soil, muddy sand or nutritious soil, perlite is all right.

2. After the soil is moist, the seeds can be planted. The seeds should not be completely buried in the soil. 1/3 of the seeds are exposed to the soil surface to keep the soil moist and not moist.

3. Put the potted plants in an environment with scattered light and keep the temperature between 16 and 27 degrees.

4. Water the seeds every day to keep them moist. If the leaves of the seeds turn brown, the seeds need more water. If the leaves of the seeds turn yellow, you can stop watering for 1-2 days.

II. Points for attention

Plants may stop growing in winter when it is below 10 degrees Celsius or when it is cold. Remember to plant avocados in a warm, sunny place to ensure their good growth.

How to fertilize avocado

1. Generally speaking, avocados are fertilized more than four times a year, usually by sprinkling or by the irrigation system. Adult avocado trees in the young fruit stage, each plant to apply five organic fertilizer, the amount of about 50 kg, the amount of compound fertilizer is about 50 grams, after picking the fruit, but also double the application of fertilizer.

2. If the leaves show symptoms of lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, it is necessary to supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in time. Zinc fertilizer can be applied in some soils, or foliar spraying can be used. Foliar fertilizer is the most effective when new leaves grow in spring. If the plant grows in calcareous soil or soil with low oxygen content, chelating iron solution can be applied to the roots.

3. There is nitrogen in some soils and irrigation water sources, so it is necessary to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer used; if there are few new leaves growing on the tree, the leaves are gray and white, and when there are more fruits, the application rate of nitrogen fertilizer should be increased.

The method of making bonsai of avocado

1. Hydroponics

Step 1: cut off a small part of the bottom and top of the seed and fix the seed on all sides of the avocado with a toothpick.

Step 2: put the toothpick-inserted seeds on a cup of water and soak them to the bottom of the seeds.

Step 3: put the treated seeds on the balcony, but to avoid direct sunlight, there is scattered light.

Step 4: replenish the seeds regularly and keep the water surface high enough to soak to the bottom of the seeds.

Step 5: when the root system of the seed grows to 5-7 cm, you can carry out hydroponic or soil culture. when hydroponic culture, drop three drops of nutrient solution a week.

2. Soil culture

Step 1: choose a loose and fertile soil basin, mix it with river sand or perlite, and cover the bottom with gravel.

The second step: pour the soil thoroughly with water, bury the seed 2max 3 into the soil, and 1pm 3 expose the ground to keep the soil moist.

Step 3: put the flowerpot in an environment with scattered light and keep the temperature at 16-27 degrees.

From the above description, is it not that difficult to grow it? Generally, avocados will bear fruit after planting for about 3 years. Its investment capital is not large, generally maintained properly, but the output is very extreme, with high economic value.
