The pot cultivation of kumquat should use 4 parts of rotten leaf soil, 5 parts of sandy soil and 1 part of cake fertilizer. Potted plants should be placed in sunny places. When the temperature is lower than 10 degrees in late autumn, they should be moved indoors in time. It is best to keep the room temperature at 6-12 degrees in winter. Before spring bud germination, cut off some of the old branches, leave 2-3 buds for the strong ones, and leave 3 pruned 1-year-old branches for each plant.

1. Soil and light

Golden orange is suitable for growing in fertile, loose and acidic sandy loam. When potted, it is appropriate to use 4 parts of rotten leaf soil, 5 parts of sandy soil and 1 part of cake fertilizer mixed culture soil. It should be placed in a sunny place during maintenance, and can be placed outdoors in winter and summer.

2. Temperature and humidity

When the temperature is lower than 10 degrees Celsius in late autumn, you should move indoors in time, and the room temperature in winter should be kept at 6-12 degrees Celsius. Too low temperature is easy to suffer frost damage, and too high will affect plant dormancy, which is not conducive to flowering and fruiting in the coming year. Dry and windy in spring, it is necessary to spray water on the leaves once a day to increase air humidity. Spray water 2-3 times a day in summer, and spray water to the ground, but avoid spraying water during flowering to prevent rotten flowers and affect the results.

3. Fertilization and pruning

Potted kumquat requires proper management of water and fertilizer, and apply a quick-acting phosphate fertilizer when the branches grow, such as calcium superphosphate, prevent branches and leaves from growing, promote flower bud differentiation and blossom and bear fruit. Before the spring buds germinate, cut off some of the old branches, leave 2-3 buds for the strong ones, and leave 3 pruned 1-year-old branches for each plant, which is beneficial to the spring shoot germination. When the new buds grow to 15-20 cm, the branches will be plump.
