How to grow pomegranate flowers in pot culture methods and matters needing attention in potted pomegranate culture

Pomegranate flower is actually the flower of pomegranate, pomegranate tree is really a very great plant, not only can produce very delicious pomegranate, but also can produce very bright pomegranate flowers, even in the eyes of most people, the beauty of pomegranate flowers has far exceeded the edible value of pomegranate, so a considerable number of people plant pomegranate trees just to watch pomegranate flowers.

How to grow potted pomegranate flowers

In general, the main methods of cultivating pomegranate flowers are cutting, ramet and striping propagation. Among them, the cutting propagation is mainly in spring, and the biennial semi-lignified pomegranate branch cuttings can be selected. Branch cuttings can take root in about half a month. The ramet propagation is mainly in April in spring, when pomegranate flowers are just the period of bud germination, so it is OK to dig up strong roots and tillers and plant them separately. As for striping propagation can be in spring or autumn, similar to ramets, bud germination period by digging strong roots and tillers pressed into the soil.

Methods and matters needing attention in pot culture of pomegranate flowers

1. Planting

Pomegranate can be planted all the year round, but it is best in early spring and autumn. But there is a slight difference between the north and the south, northern spring and southern autumn, the suitable time for planting is more conducive to the growth of pomegranate.

Planting pomegranate generally choose high-quality seedlings with complete root system and full bud eyes, choose a deeper clay basin, plant deeply, apply a certain amount of base fertilizer, and keep it in the sun.

2. Water and fertilizer management

Pomegranate is resistant to drought and waterlogging, so we should pay attention to timely drainage in peacetime maintenance to prevent poor plant growth caused by too much watering. Of course, in the sprouting period, fruit expansion period and before defoliation, attention should be paid to watering in these three periods to ensure that the soil is moist and does not accumulate water.

In the year of planting, additional fertilizer is needed, and appropriate amount of urea is added to the fertilizer. Fertilizer should also be applied before falling leaves in autumn, usually digging a hole next to the plant and applying fertilizer in a pot to keep the fertilizer away from the rhizome so as not to burn the root. Fertilization is also needed in the full fruit period to promote the fullness of the fruit. In addition, in the growing season, it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time according to the growth of the plant, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in time.

3. Ensure sunshine

Pomegranate is a positive plant. Before people discovered the beauty of pomegranate, pomegranate flowers have been sleeping in the wind, there are sunshine and Rain Water, and they grow very well. Therefore, the pomegranate potted plant at home, to ensure enough sunshine, as long as there is no shortage of water, even strong light does not matter.

4. Shaping and pruning

The principle of pomegranate pruning is: visible never die, invisible do not know chaos. Therefore, in pruning, depending on the growth space of each branch, the branches and those with sufficient growth space are allowed to continue to grow, while the denser ones can be trimmed off.

5. Thinning flowers and fruits

The amount of pomegranate flowers is relatively large, and it can blossom for a long time from May. Since you raise pomegranate flowers, you must eat pomegranates. Therefore, when the pomegranate blossoms, cut the florets in time, which can ensure that the fruit is large and the quality is good.

6. Circular peeling at flowering stage

Generally, ring peeling is carried out in the first ten days of May, which can temporarily block the downward transport of photosynthesis organic nutrients and improve the fruit setting rate.

Types of fertilization for pomegranate flowers

1. Base fertilizer

Organic fertilizer is the main type of base fertilizer in summer, and it is the best in May. Because at this time the root and fruit grow well, and the branches and leaves are about to stop growing, fertilization will not cause the second growth. After fertilization, the soil, fertilizer and root system will be closely linked to promote the absorption of fertilizer.

The base fertilizer in autumn should be applied after fruit harvest. At this time, the root system is in the growing period, even if it is injured, it will heal quickly. Fertilization can cut off part of the small roots, which can play the role of pruning roots and promote the growth of new roots. In terms of the proportion of fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer can be appropriately increased to promote the growth of branches and leaves.

2. Topdressing

Topdressing before flowering: topdressing in early May, mainly nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizer, timely topdressing can meet the needs of plant flowering and fruit setting.

Flower lag and topdressing: pomegranate flower backwardness needs topdressing in time, this is the maximum period when pomegranate needs fertilizer, young fruit development and new shoot growth all need sufficient nutrients, at this time appropriate increase of nitrogen fertilizer can reduce physiological fruit drop. If the amount of topdressing before anthesis is large, the amount of fertilizer application can be reduced appropriately after anthesis.

When will the pomegranate blossom bloom

The flowering period of pomegranate is concentrated in spring and summer, which is from May to July every year. Pomegranate flowers generally begin to germinate in late March, bud in mid-late April, and begin to bloom in May. Pomegranate flowers are in full bloom in June and end in early July. When the flowering period is over, the pomegranate flowers will begin to bear fruit.

Cultivation of pomegranate should not be a very difficult thing, as long as it conforms to the growth habits of pomegranate and then gives pomegranate tree normal maintenance, it can basically make pomegranate trees blossom and bear fruit smoothly. Pomegranate flowers usually bloom from May to July. Flower lovers must not miss it.
