Yes, generally planted orange seeds germinate in pots for about 3 weeks, and the temperature needs to be slightly warmer. When planted in colder weather, the germination time will be later.

Pot planting method:

I. the choice of soil

When potted kumquat should be mixed with sandy soil, cake fertilizer and charcoal burned by weeds.

Second, keep moisture

Kumquat is a wet plant but avoid stagnant water, like wet soil, but not too much watering, easy to lead to root rot. Therefore, it is better to keep the basin soil moist during the growth period. The water consumption should be changed according to different seasons. It is dry and windy in spring. It is necessary to spray water on the leaves once a day to increase air humidity. Spray water 2 or 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 fruit. Should the stagnant water in the basin be dumped in time in the rainy season to avoid rotting roots? When you put it outdoors in summer, it is best to use bricks to cushion the flowerpot to facilitate drainage.

3. Sufficient light

It is necessary to make kumquat in places where there is plenty of light, one is to prevent the root of kumquat from rotting due to moisture-loving soil, and the other is photosynthesis. Without light, kumquat grows slowly, and it is easy to lose leaves, do not blossom or bear fruit.

Fourth, add fertilizer

Under normal circumstances, kumquat should be added with an appropriate amount of shallow sauce residue water and alum fertilizer every week, and more phosphate fertilizer should be added at the beginning of the fruit. these are the most common daily fertilizers for potted kumquat, and of course, quite similar fertilizers can be used according to their own conditions.

Pruning is an important technical measure to make kumquat blossom fruitful. In order to make the tree beautiful and fruitful, each year, before the sap begins to flow, a re-pruning is carried out before the spring buds germinate, cutting off withered branches, disease and insect branches, over-dense branches and overgrown branches, leaving only 2-3 buds at the base of each branch and cutting off the rest.

VI. Prevention of diseases

Pay attention to the prevention of insect pests, appropriate spraying, such as copper sulfate, quicklime, water, bacilli and other potions, according to the instructions on the number of kumquat can be properly sprayed.

It's worth noting that. After eating oranges, the seeds are planted in the soil, and the seedlings are seedlings. It is not easy to bear fruit, even if the result takes a long time, and the quality of the fruit is not good, so if it is to improve the ornamental value, it is OK, if in order to eat, then there is no need to plant.
