My mother-in-law planted kumquat fruit on the balcony and hung it all over the branches. It was beautiful and delicious, and she could give it away.

After I gave birth to a baby a few years ago, my mother-in-law focused on taking care of her grandson, relieving my husband and me of a lot of burden. in the blink of an eye, the baby should go to kindergarten. After the baby went to school, my mother-in-law was usually relatively free. As soon as the time was free, the mother-in-law wanted to find something for herself to do, so she planted kumquat on the balcony and was carefully taken care of by her mother-in-law. Kumquat live up to expectations in the fruit season the fruit is full of branches, good-looking and delicious, can not finish it can also be given away! The following is my mother-in-law summed up three key points for the conservation of kumquat, interested friends may wish to have a look!

1. Fertilizer and water

Kumquat fertilization and watering are very fastidious, can not be done according to their own feelings, generally speaking, flowering and fruit-setting period need how to water. In the flower bud differentiation period, if it is found that the buds have a tendency to wilt, only moderate watering, and in the kumquat flowering period, it is necessary to provide enough phosphate fertilizer, it will be conducive to kumquat to grow delicious fruit!

2. Pruning

When pruning kumquat, we must keep in mind one principle: don't be greedy for too much. If you want to cut it, you should cut it. There is generally a flower bud in the armpit of the same leaf, a branch with about 5 buds and 2 fruits. The time of pruning is generally before the spring shoots germinate, so that the branches can grow more healthily and sturdily, and the shape can be more perfect, providing conditions for more blossoms and fruits!

3. Cultivation

Kumquat generally grows faster when the temperature picks up at the beginning of spring, and it must be pruned at this time. Pruning should follow the principle of keeping the strong and eliminating the weak. First, choose 5 branches that live and cling to the backbone. Other branches should not be kept greedily. It is best to cut off from the basic, and the ones left should be truncated according to the strength. The stronger branches leave about 5 buds, and the thinner ones leave about 2 buds.

Wait for about two months, it should be almost to the second round of kumquat growth, and then the second pruning, this pruning is a small cut, just trim the tip a little bit, and the back of the new shoot will pick out about 8 leaves once, so that the next time can grow more summer shoots, in preparation for the later growth of more flowers and fruits! Under the result of such meticulous care of my mother-in-law, the kumquat fruit on my balcony is full of branches, good-looking and delicious, and I can't finish it. The neighbors all envy me that I have a capable mother-in-law!
