Analysis on the causes of non-flowering of potted pomegranate

Have friends who like to grow some fruits and vegetables at home ever try to grow pomegranates? It is not difficult to raise pomegranate, but we must pay attention to give enough light to make it grow strong. In the process of raising pomegranates, some friends come across the situation that pomegranates do not blossom, so what is the reason? How should it be solved?

Potted pomegranate

Pomegranate is very sensitive to fertilizer, fertilizing too frequently, it is easy to cause excessive growth of branches and leaves, affect flower bud differentiation, and cause buds and flowers to fall. If you don't apply fertilizer, you can't keep up with the nutrition, and you can't keep up with the flowers. Therefore, rational fertilization is an important link to promote the flowering and prosperity of pomegranate. During the growing season, fully mature phosphorous liquid fertilizer (fish scales, fish viscera, chicken manure, etc.) can be irrigated every 10 days or so, and the ratio of fertilizer to water is 2:8. During flowering and after fruiting, thin phosphate fertilizer and plant ash can be irrigated once a week to protect flowers and fruits. Do not apply nitrogen fertilizer.

Pomegranates should prevent excessive dampness. Don't water too much. Do not rain, should not spray foliar water, otherwise it will cause overgrowth and affect flowering.

What is the reason why potted pomegranate does not blossom and bear fruit?

Flower bonsai net flower cultivation basic column: what is the reason why potted pomegranate does not blossom and bear fruit? (1) Pomegranate is a sunny plant. The place where potted flowers are placed must often be exposed to the sun, even in summer. One of the main reasons is that pomegranate potted flowers will not blossom in the shade. (2) the basin soil can not be watered until it is dry, although the basin soil is too wet does not affect the growth. But in order to blossom, you must wait for the pot to dry before watering it. (3) less nitrogen fertilizer and more phosphorus fertilizer are applied at ordinary times, and the fertilization concentration is lighter and more times after fruiting. Commonly used chicken, duck dung or fish offal are fermented and used with water to supply phosphate fertilizer. However, too much fertilizer and the rapid growth of plants is also one of the reasons for not blooming and fruiting. (4) when there is no flower at the flowering stage, the necessary pruning can be carried out and the top bud of the branch tip can be erased at the same time. This can not only inhibit the infinite growth of plants, but also promote the formation of new lateral buds. Generally, buds can appear after a week of pruning.

What if the potted pomegranate doesn't blossom?

(1) increase light: pomegranates like sunlight, if there is not enough light, it is very easy to grow in vain and cannot blossom and bear fruit, so potted pomegranates should be placed in places with plenty of light.

(2) selection of fully developed branches for cutting propagation: if the cuttings adopted are the branches at the base of the mother plant or the branches at the seedling stage, the flowering will be delayed due to incomplete development. If you want to blossom and bear fruit early, you should choose the sturdy branches on the old plants that have flowered for many years, preferably the branches that germinate at the base of the plant as cuttings.

(3) strengthen fertilizer and water management: fertilizer and water management is also the key to blossom and fruit setting. Potted pomegranate must be fertilized, as the saying goes, "pomegranate is not afraid of cold and summer, sunshine and fertilizer should be sufficient". Changing pots in spring should be combined with sufficient base fertilizer, and pay attention to topdressing phosphorus and potash fertilizer before flowering. Thin liquid fertilizer was applied once a month during the growing period.

(4) reasonable shaping and pruning: do not cut short the fruiting mother branch, even if it is pomegranate, the flowering is mostly concentrated on the tip of the branch, so do not cut short the normal branch.
