The latest planting conditions of mangosteen

We know more or less about mangosteen. It is not a kind of fruit originating from our country, but is originally from the tropics. After it was introduced into our country, the demand for mangosteen increased sharply because of its unique taste and high nutritional value. A lot of people want to plant mangosteen, but mangosteen is not the original fruit in our country, so what conditions do you need when planting? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction.

1. Technical requirements for reproduction

Mangosteen is unisexual, so it can only be propagated through asexual reproduction, and the methods of asexual reproduction are cutting, grafting, striping and ramet, so it is necessary to know at least 2-3 propagation techniques before mangosteen can be planted well. The main choice for cutting is to grow well, cut it on the seedbed and let it grow into a new plant. Grafting is a commonly used technology in the planting industry, it is to choose the rootstock with good growth and graft it with the scion. The striping is to bury the well-growing branch directly into the soil, let the branch re-root, then separate it from the mother plant, and transplant the clockwork, this method is similar to cutting, and it is more simple and convenient than cutting, and the survival rate is high. Ramet refers to digging out the tillers of mangosteen and replanting them on the seedbed.

2. Soil requirements

It is best to choose a hillside with a certain slope, the slope should not be less than 2 degrees, and then the soil for planting mangosteen should be deep, loose and fertile, and the pH value of the soil is between 5 and 6. It is not suitable to choose plots with low contents of calcareous, sandy and humus, and the soil permeability and drainage must be good, and it is better to plant in slightly acidic soil and clay loam.

3. Irrigation requirements

Growing mangosteen, water is an important problem. Mangosteen grows in a tropical environment, where Rain Water is abundant, so in order to avoid the impact of Rain Water on mangosteen, it is necessary to take good drainage measures. In the rainy summer period, it is necessary to dig trenches in time to drain water, so as not to form stagnant water on the ground, resulting in mangosteen root rot. In the period of drought, it is necessary to irrigate in time, it is best to irrigate mountain spring water, or the accumulated Rain Water is also feasible, so the planting land should be close to the water source.

4. Fertilizer requirements

Plant growth is inseparable from nutrients, in the planting of seedlings, it is necessary to combine with soil preparation to apply sufficient base fertilizer, base fertilizer can choose fermented farm fertilizer and compound fertilizer, mix them evenly and spread them at the bottom of the hole. In order to promote the growth of seedlings after the first year of planting, some urea and trace element fertilizers can be applied in the dry season. The same is true in the second year, but it is necessary to increase the amount of fertilizer and apply more organic fertilizer to make it blossom and bear fruit as soon as possible.
