The method of potted planting of spicy trees on the balcony

Moringa is a potted tree species suitable for viewing. Its leaves are small oval, its flowers are white and slightly yellow, and its flowers bend downward and outward when blooming, which looks very beautiful. Not only that, Moringa also exudes a rich aroma. At the same time, it can also be cooked as a vegetable, not only rich in nutrients, but also has a relatively high health value.

Moringa trees can be potted on balconies to beautify the environment, but as potted plants, dwarfing is very important. Because Moringa trees in natural growth, often grow very tall, if potted on the balcony, do not dwarf treatment, not only will be limited by the balcony space, but also as potted plants are not good-looking, seriously affecting the ornamental value. Below, Xiaobian will introduce you to the balcony potted Moringa tree method.

I. Placement

Moringa trees prefer light, but also have a certain drought tolerance, so potted in the balcony is the best. However, this kind of tree species has poor cold tolerance, so it needs to be placed on the balcony where it is easier to receive sufficient sunlight. The most suitable temperature for growth is between 25℃ and 35 ℃. When the temperature is low in winter, it should be moved indoors to keep warm in time for smooth winter.

II. Basin soil environment

Although Moringa is not strict with pot soil requirements, it is usually suitable for various types of soil environment, and it is more tolerant of poor soil, but in order to ensure its good growth, it is usually recommended to use sandy loam planting to improve the permeability of soil. And the PH value of the basin soil should be kept at 4-8.

III. Watering management

When Moringa seedlings are planted in pots and grow steadily, the first thing we need to do is water. Every time watering is required to irrigate thoroughly, but to avoid ponding in the basin, otherwise it is easy to infect diseases and let the plants die. It is advisable to keep the basin soil moist at ordinary times, but it is recommended to irrigate water once a day in the morning and evening in the summer high temperature season, and also to keep the basin soil moist as the benchmark. After autumn, watering frequency should be reduced to prevent plants from withering.

IV. Change the basin in time

Due to the rapid growth of Moringa trees, the demand for nutrients is large, so it is necessary to do a good job of topdressing management in due time. Moreover, potted Moringa trees usually need to be maintained every 1-2 years for pot and soil replacement to meet growth needs. If the nutrients are insufficient, Moringa trees are prone to yellow leaves and other poor growth problems.

V. Dwarfing treatment

Moringa has strong germination ability and pruning resistance, so as a potted plant, it should be pruned frequently to control the plant shape, so as to achieve dwarfing effect to be more conducive to viewing. If the branches grow too thick, it is bound to affect its direction, so it is generally cut short at a position about 30 cm away from the pot surface to promote its germination of more branches. For the pruning of Moringa potted plants, the plant shape should be kept well-arranged, with a sense of hierarchy, and the ornamental effect can be maintained while maintaining the growth of the plants.

VI. Timely harvest

Usually, if conservation management is in place, Moringa trees can be harvested for more than 6-7 months throughout the year. However, attention should be paid to maintaining plant type in the process of recovery, and it is not allowed to focus on recovery due to the large recovery amount of a certain side. The purpose of potted Moringa trees is to facilitate harvesting while maintaining good ornamental value.
