Planting and cultivation techniques of potted fig trees

Figs are perennial trees with smooth branches, beautiful trees, unique leaves, sweet and delicious fruit and rich nutrition. Potted figs have both ornamental and tasting functions and have their own characteristics. The cultivation techniques are as follows:

1. Potted containers and potted soil

Mud pots, porcelain pots, cement pots, wooden boxes and buckets with good permeability can be used to cultivate figs, but the size should be suitable, with a diameter of 40 cm to 50 cm, not less than 30 cm, and the height can be similar to or slightly larger than the diameter of the basin. The basin soil is required to be loose, rich in organic matter, fertilizer, water and air permeability, and the humus soil under the mountain broad-leaved forest is the best.

two。 Planting method

One-year-old seedlings are planted in a pot after defoliation or before sprouting in spring. Before planting, fill more than half of the basin with nutritious soil to compaction, and the transplanted seedlings should be watered first, and immediately transplant into the basin with soil after water infiltration, with as many roots as possible, and then fill the soil to make the root closely connect with the soil, and the soil surface is flat with the edge of the basin. After watering, the soil surface is 2cm to 3cm away from the edge of the basin. Can also be used in the basin straight insertion method, in early spring sap flow before cutting thick and strong annual branches as cuttings, cut 20 cm branches, straight into the basin. Because fig branches are easy to take root, green wood cuttings with leaves are also easy to survive during the growing period. The strip pressing method is also suitable for the potted plants of figs. The annual or perennial branches of the existing potted figs or figs planted in the field can be pressed into another pot or bucket before germination to the early growth stage, and the striping should be pressed into the basin soil of about 10 cm.

3. Shaping and pruning

The shaping of potted figs can be done in the following two ways. One is the happy pruning method, in which 3 to 4 buds are left at the base of the stem after planting, and three main branches in different directions are selected in the same year. Fig is a light-loving tree species, the main branch angle to open, can be used to pull the main branch to 60 degrees to 70 degrees, the second year on the main branches of the mixed buds can bear fruit. The length of the main branch should be controlled at about 40 cm, and the over-prosperous main branch should be coring in time in summer. The fruiting branches should be weak and strong when pruning in winter. The elongated branches of the three main branches should be retracted and renewed year by year in order to control the crown and make it suitable in size.

The second is the trunk horizontal ring pruning method, which is indefinite in the first year after planting, allowing it to grow naturally. Because of its strong sprouting power, many branches can be germinated from bottom to top in the same year. According to the distribution of branches in winter, about 10 branches are selected and left in a circle according to the distribution of branches. After the branches are extended and grow, they are curved and tied horizontally with thin iron wire to facilitate continuous fruit. Pay attention to the thinning of overdense and overlapping branches, the upward growth of the trunk extension branches should be controlled at 1 meter to 1.2 meters high, and should be coring in time when they are too prosperous. After the third year, the horizontal fruiting branches have formed a whole ring around the trunk from bottom to top, and can be renewed and pruned every year to maintain the fruiting ability, avoid the overlap of circular branches and form a beautiful tree shape.

4. Administration and Management

Potted figs should be controlled to grow to produce mediocre branches, so watering should not be too frequent. Secondly, it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably to prevent excessive fertilization and cause fertilizer damage. In general, soaked and fermented bean cake water, horseshoe water or urea diluent are applied every half a month in the general growing season. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer or superphosphate, bone meal and plant ash can be applied in late August in autumn. Figs have few diseases and insect pests, and basically no spraying is needed. The branches before 5 years old are vulnerable to frost damage, so it is necessary to move the pots indoors or cover the branches and stems against cold and overwinter before winter.

Planting techniques of potted figs

Figs believe that most of them have been eaten and have a special understanding that figs have developed into a common fruit with high nutritional value. In fact, figs can also be potted, both ornamental value, good late conservation can also blossom and bear fruit. If you like, you can go with the editor to have a look at the pot technology of figs.

Planting techniques of potted figs

The main results are as follows: 1. Fig root system is more developed, which needs larger container cultivation, generally using large tile tank planting, and needs a larger space growth environment, open-air balcony, balcony, courtyard and so on are more suitable for its growth.

2. Figs are not strict with the soil, but it is best to use fertile and breathable soil if potted. When planting or changing pots, add rotten cake fertilizer, chicken manure and other organic fertilizers rich in carbon, phosphorus and potassium, so that fig branches and leaves can flourish and hang fruit early.

3. The watering of potted figs can basically be determined according to the progress of their branches and leaves. When the branches and leaves germinate in spring, the amount of water should be less, and the basin soil should keep a certain humidity. As the branches and leaves grow slowly, the temperature rises gradually, figs also enter the fruit hanging period, at this time to increase the amount of water, sooner or later should be watered once, to keep the basin soil moist. If the watering is not timely, it is easy to produce branches and leaves malaise, fruit drop and other phenomena. After entering the autumn fruit ripening period, it is necessary to reduce the amount of water, too much water will cause the fruit to crack. In addition to controlling watering on cloudy and rainy days, we should also pay attention to prevent stagnant water in the basin so as to avoid waterlogging.

4. Fig shoots grow fast, so we should pay attention to pruning and shaping at ordinary times, especially potted figs. Too high trunk affects the appearance of figs, and it is troublesome to maintain them at ordinary times. Therefore, potted figs must be limited to a certain height and cannot be allowed to grow. The specific approach is to cut off the tip of the head when the trunk of the seedling grows to about 20 cm to promote its germination and branching. According to their own preferences, trimmed into a certain shape to improve the appreciation value.

Figs are not resistant to cold. Figs preserved outdoors should enter the house in time before and after Frosts Descent in late autumn. Indoor maintenance should be placed in the sunny, well-ventilated balcony living room and other places for maintenance. Figs enter the dormant period in winter and their growth tends to stagnate. At this time, the figs can be flexibly watered according to the indoor temperature. If the room temperature is higher, you can pour a little more water, but if you put it in a room with a room temperature of about 5 ℃, you should control the water and keep the basin soil dry as far as possible, so that you can safely survive the winter.

Main diseases and insect pests and their control

Figs have fewer diseases and insect pests. The common ones that cause great harm are mulberry longicorn beetles, root-knot nematodes and fruit anthracnose. The prevention and control of mulberry longicorn beetles can refer to the part of apple and plug with poison label. At present, the prevention and control of root-knot nematode is mainly to avoid continuous cropping in the old garden and quarantine and disinfect the seedlings, and the soil can also be disinfected when conditions permit. Fruit anthracnose should be sprayed with 200 times lime Bordeaux solution or 75% chlorothalonil 600 times 800 times solution as early as possible before the onset of fruit in summer and autumn, and the safe interval of the latter application (days from the last application to harvest) was 7-14 days.

Growth and fruiting habits of figs

Figs are subtropical deciduous shrubs or small trees. Long-lived figs can also grow into big trees under suitable conditions. Fig is well developed, drought-resistant and salt-tolerant, aerobic stain taboo. The branches grow fast and have few branches, and only a few buds at the end of the branches extend upward and outward every year. Except for the basal nodes, 2-3 buds can be formed in the axils of each leaf, one of which is a round flower bud. After entering the fruiting stage, except for the growing branches, almost all the new shoots in the crown can become fruiting branches. Therefore, the fruit can begin in 2-3 years after planting, and the full fruit period can be entered in 7-10 years.

Flower buds differentiate and develop further and become a unique inflorescence receptacle fruit. Inflorescence receptacle fruit fleshy saccate, with a small hole at the top, covered by surrounding scales. There are thousands of florets arranged on the inner wall of the inflorescence receptacle, forming a hidden inflorescence, so the appearance can only see the fruit but not the flower. Florets can bear unisexual fruit without pollination. The edible part is actually formed by the common hypertrophy of the inflorescence receptacle and most of the small fruits wrapped by the inflorescence receptacle.

The fruit development period is 50-60 days. The fruit in the middle and lower part of the new shoot matures in the autumn of the same year in the Yangtze River basin, which is called autumn fruit. Some of the late-developed fruits on the new shoots are less than mature, and they wrinkle and fall off when they are cold. The flower buds on the first nodes of new shoots differentiate at the end of autumn and are covered with scales, which can survive the winter safely in warm winter areas, and then continue to differentiate and develop into summer fruits after the next spring. Normally ripe summer fruits are generally of better quality. The varieties belong to different types according to the formation ability of summer fruit and autumn fruit.

Matters needing attention in cultivating figs

1. Watering. Pot growers do not dry or water the surface of the pot soil, but water it thoroughly. Land growers are more labor-saving and labor-saving, and it is not too late to water the basin soil after drought.

2. Temperature. Figs are not tolerant to severe cold. If the temperature is lower than-5 ℃ in winter, potted plants will freeze, and land growers can not stand the low temperature of-10 ℃. It is necessary to cultivate soil in the roots to protect against cold. The suitable temperature for growth is between 20-30 ℃, and it can grow normally at 38 ℃.

3. Fertilization. Fertilizer can be applied from late March to late August, and it is best to choose organic fertilizer in the family, so that the fruit has a good taste and high sugar content. Can also be applied with chemical fertilizer, pay attention to the amount is not too large, with light fertilizer frequently is appropriate.

From this point of view, potted figs do not seem to be particularly difficult. Relatives who like to plant flowers and plants might as well plant one or two figs in your leisure time, so that they may even blossom and bear fruit. Fresh figs can be picked and eaten easily. What a beautiful thing!
