It turns out that apple trees can also plant an apple that can be watched and eaten at home.

It is a good idea to plant apple trees into potted plants. Pruning apple trees into bonsai can not only enjoy the red and green apples covered with branches indoors, but also eat their own apples in autumn, which is a good thing to think about. However, after all, apple trees belong to land-planted trees, so it is difficult to manage potted plants. Here home planting with you to share some planting skills.

1. The habits of apple trees

Although apples are a very common fruit, there should not be many flowering friends who have planted apple trees. Apple trees are more suitable for planting in the north. Apple trees have strong cold tolerance and generally blossom around May. Like light, especially during the fruit growth period of apple trees, proper light can improve the quality of apples. Fruit trees are more suitable to grow in neutral soil, and the soil should be rich in organic matter, adequate nutrition, good air permeability and hydrophobicity.

2. Variety selection of potted apple trees.

Apple trees belong to trees and can grow to more than 5 meters. Even the dwarfed apple trees planted in the orchard at present have to grow three meters above. Therefore, potted apple trees must choose apple varieties that have been dwarfed, with stout roots, short and thick branches, strong self-pollination ability, and suitable for potted apple trees. The apple tree varieties that can be selected for reference are B Nu, longevity fruit, winter red fruit and so on.

3. Daily management of potted apple trees

1, the selection of pots must choose flowerpots with strong air permeability, such as clay pots, tile pots, wooden pots, etc., it is best not to choose porcelain flowerpots, plastic flowerpots, such as flowerpots, the air permeability is too poor, not suitable for apple tree growth. The size of the basin should be determined according to the specific conditions of the apple tree, and generally choose larger and deeper flowerpots.

2. The mixed soil is the source of nutrition for apple trees. Due to the limitation of space, the nutrition of basin soil must be adequate, and the soil must meet the growth needs of apple trees. Personally, I think humus soil rich in organic matter is very suitable. The proportion can refer to the proportion of four parts of humus soil, three parts of garden soil, three parts of fine sandy soil, or five parts of humus soil, three parts of fine sand soil, one part of cinder soil and one part of plant ash.

3. Fertilizing apple trees like fertilizer. Before the apple trees go into the pot, they can spread a layer of base fertilizer at the bottom of the flowerpot. The base fertilizer can make the mature organic fertilizer, so that the amount of fertilizer can be reduced in the early stage of apple tree growth. Usually pay attention to timely topdressing, generally every two weeks or so after fertilizer, you can use bean cake curd fertilizer, pay attention to no more than 100 grams. Generally speaking, foliar fertilizer can be sprayed one month before fruit harvest, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate, ferrous sulfate and urea can be sprayed according to dilution ratio to promote fruit growth.

4. Pruning because it is a potted plant, you can prune the branches and leaves according to your own aesthetics, such as cliff type, round head type, one-arm type and so on. When pruning, pay attention to leave a certain gap between the branches to facilitate fruit growth. In addition, attention should be paid to thinning flowers and fruits to promote the growth of high-quality apples.
