Kumquat belongs to the fennel family, evergreen shrub, 3 meters high, generally without thorns. Leaves lanceolate to long oval, flowers small, white, fragrant, petals 5, fruit Obovate or oval, 2.5-3.5 cm long, golden yellow.

Family conservation methods of kumquat bonsai

Potted kumquat is generally purchased as a New year's Eve flower, and many people buy it back and don't know how to maintain it.

1. Soil requirements for kumquat culture.

Potted kumquat likes loose and fertile three-star soil. If potted kumquat soil is found to be hardened, it should be changed immediately. Impervious soil can easily lead to root rot. When changing soil, 4 parts of rotten leaf soil, 5 parts of sandy soil and 1 part of cake fertilizer can be used.

2. Watering method of kumquat culture.

Kumquat likes to be moist but avoid stagnant water, too much watering can easily lead to root rot. During family maintenance, the time of watering should be determined according to the family's conservation environment. Spray water to the leaves once a day when dry in spring to increase air humidity. Spray water 2-3 times a day in summer, and spray water to the ground. When watering, you should avoid water droplets falling on the flowers and causing the flowers to rot and affect the results.

3. Lighting requirements of kumquat culture.

Kumquats like sunny environment and should be kept in sunny places when maintaining. If the light is not enough, it is easy to cause the plant to grow excessively, blossom and bear fruit less. When the temperature is high and the light is strong in summer, kumquat should be put in a shady place. The indoor temperature should be kept free of ice in winter. If the room temperature is too high, the plant can not get enough dormancy, the growth is weak in the second year, and it is easy to drop flowers and fruits.

4. Temperature requirements for kumquat culture.

Kumquat likes a warm and refreshing environment. Kumquat should also be moved indoors when the temperature is below 10 degrees in autumn, and the growth temperature should be kept at 6-12 degrees in winter. It is easy to suffer frost injury when the temperature is too low, and too high affects plant dormancy, which is not conducive to blossom and bear fruit in the coming year.

5. Fertilization methods for kumquat culture.

Potted kumquat requires proper management of water and fertilizer, and apply a quick-acting phosphate fertilizer when the branches grow, such as calcium superphosphate, prevent branches and leaves from growing, promote flower bud differentiation and blossom and bear fruit.

6. Pruning requirements of kumquat culture

Pruning is an important technical measure to make kumquat blossom fruitful. In order to make the tree beautiful and fruitful, cut off some of the old branches before the spring buds germinate, and the strong ones leave 2-3 buds, and each tree leaves 3 pruned one-year-old branches, which is beneficial to the spring shoot germination. When the new buds grow to 15-20 cm, the branches will be plump.

7. Pest control of kumquat culture

The branches and leaves of kumquat are often harmed by shell insects, red spiders and chicken dish larvae, among which the damage is more common, which occurs from April to May, and can be sprayed with 1000 times of acephate, and small bristles can also be used to brush off pests.

Potted kumquat has luxuriant branches and evergreen seasons, it is full of fragrance when it blossoms, the white flowers are very soft and beautiful, and the fruit is yellow-red when it is ripe, whether it is watching leaves, flowers or fruits, and it is also very common at home. Kumquat culture methods are introduced to you here. I hope it will be helpful to you.

The reason for the failure of kumquat bonsai and how to do it

1. Kumquat doesn't end up with too much water and fertilizer.

The reason why kumquat does not bear fruit may be too much water and fertilizer, because too much water and fertilizer, the plant growth is more exuberant, but this exuberant refers to the branches and leaves, the exuberant growth of branches and leaves will affect the fruit of kumquat.

Kumquat in the plant growth period, fertilization is not too much too thick, generally every 10 days to apply fertilizer, during flowering, you can apply some phosphate fertilizer, which is conducive to fruit setting. Watering should also be appropriate, kumquat can be properly watered before flowering, and the amount of watering can be controlled. Watering is generally rewatered when the leaves of the plant wilt, which can promote the differentiation of flower buds. During the flowering and fruit setting of kumquat, watering should not be too much.

2. Kumquat doesn't bear fruit because there is too little light.

Light is an important factor affecting plant growth and breeding, because light is a necessary condition for plant photosynthesis. Too little light and poor plant photosynthesis will affect flowering and fruiting.

In the cultivation of kumquat, we need to give adequate light, do not put it in too hidden places for a long time, if there is a lack of light during maintenance, we should find ways to meet its light needs.

3. Kumquats don't bear fruit because they are not pruned.

Reasonable pruning is an important measure for the growth and breeding of kumquat. Without pruning, kumquat will bear little or no fruit.

In general, in order to achieve better results, kumquat needs to be pruned and pruned during the growth period, mainly to retain branches, adjust the growth status and plant morphology of kumquat, and reduce nutrient consumption. At this time, the pruning is mainly carried out according to the needs of styling and leaving branches. In the flowering period, it is also necessary to prune the flower buds of kumquat. 2-8 flower buds are retained on a branch, and 2 are generally retained in 1 Murray fruit.

With proper pruning, kumquat will grow well.

Maintenance method of kumquat bonsai

Maintenance method of kumquat bonsai

Today we will introduce to you the conservation methods of kumquat bonsai, which can be followed by netizens who like to raise kumquat bonsai.

Kumquat fruit golden, with fragrance, hanging fruit for a long time, is an excellent ornamental fruit flowers. It is suitable for potted plants and bonsai, at the same time, it tastes sour and sweet and delicious, and has many nutritional values. Potted kumquat is evergreen all the year round, with luxuriant branches and leaves and beautiful tree shape. It blossoms in summer, the color is jade white, and the aroma is overflowing. Autumn and winter fruit ripe or yellow or red, embellished in the green leaves, can be described as Biye Jinwan, help sparse Changrong, high ornamental value.

I. material selection and cultivation measures

Artificial propagation: cutting, grafting and other methods can be used. Cuttings should be carried out from late May to late June, and cuttings should be selected from fully developed branches of the previous year, or shorter shoots of semi-lignified internodes of the same year.

Cuttings about 10 cm long, remove the lower branches and leaves, leave two leaves at the upper end, and cut off half of each.

Insert into the soil at a depth of about 23, compact the surrounding soil of Zhou B, fully water it, and keep the soil moist later. After insertion, a shed should be built in time for shade, and it should be sprayed frequently so that it can take root after about 30 days. After that, it is necessary to carefully maintain and manage, and then transplant and cultivate big seedlings after the next spring is warm.

Grafting can be carried out from early April to early May, often with splicing or splicing.

If bud grafting is used, it can be carried out from June to September. Rootstocks are often used for citrus seedlings, as well as bergamot, lemon and tangerine.

The cultivation method of grafting fruit of potted kumquat in the same year: cuttings of bergamot or lemon were used to maintain sturdiness, and split grafting was used when the branches were semi-Lignified from May to August. The scion should be bagged with sturdy branches that are semi-lignified in the same year, and then bagged after about 1 week. Leave 1 strong branch after survival, cut off the other grafted branches, and remove the rootstock buds at any time.

After 20 days, remove the tie rope and strengthen the fertilizer and water management. The main fertilizer was phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which was applied every 10 days.

Pay attention to buckle the water and increase the light.

If properly maintained, it can blossom and bear fruit in the same year.

Second, the process of potting.

Selection basin: kumquat is suitable to use medium-deep purple sand pottery basin, glazed pottery basin can also be used. It is not suitable to use a shallow basin, the shape of the basin can be square, rectangular or round, and the basin color should be begonia red or deep sunflower yellow to set off green leaves and golden fruits to increase the ornamental effect.

Using soil: the acid sandy loam with good permeability is the most suitable for growth of kumquat. Potted plants are often mixed with weathered pond soil or pastoral soil mixed with sand.

Planting: it is appropriate to carry out in April in spring. When planting, the root system should be sorted out, the fibrous root should be stretched in the basin soil, the old root should be cut off properly, and the broken bone, vegetable cake and bone powder should be used as base fertilizer at the bottom of the basin.

Third, orthopedic techniques

Processing: kumquat is mostly pruned and rarely clambered. Just clamp up the trunk and branches properly, and the rest can be trimmed. Processing and pruning should be carried out in April when it is overcast and rainy.

Tree shape: kumquat shape should be simple to win, not too complicated, the main tree shape is straight dry type, oblique dry type and so on.

It is generally trimmed to a natural large tree or semicircular sphere.

IV. Maintenance and management

Place: kumquat like light, should be placed in a sunny, warm and ventilated place, summer should be appropriate shade, avoid exposure, the location should be fixed, should not move more. In full bloom, you should pay attention to avoid the rain, and it is appropriate to move indoors in winter to prevent freezing.

Watering: usually keep the basin soil moist, spring growth period should be watered frequently, summer high temperature period, you can use "buckle water" method to inhibit summer shoot growth and promote flower bud differentiation.

Fertilization: kumquat is good fertilizer, it is appropriate to apply thin fertilizer frequently, fertilizer is mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, such as chicken, duck manure or fishy water, once every 7 to 10 days. In the rainy season, you can sprinkle some cake fertilizer crumbs on the basin, apply little or no during flowering, and apply light fertilizer twice after the fruit is settled.

Pruning: it is usually carried out in early spring from February to March. Mainly cut off the withered and weak branches, overlapping branches, cross branches and disease and insect branches, according to the tree shape, we can adopt the principle of strong branches and weak branches to cut short the main branches, generally leaving 4-5 buds on the stout branches, 2-3 buds on the thin and weak branches, and cutting off the rest. After the new shoots germinate, the over-dense branches and twigs that disturb the tree shape should be removed as soon as possible.

Turn the basin: kumquat can be turned every 2-3 years, the time should be between March and April in spring, 12 old soil can be removed and replaced with loose and fertile culture soil, and some rotten roots and old roots can be cut off at the same time.

Pest control: the main disease of kumquat is black mildew, which can be cleaned by spraying Bordeaux liquid or 5% alcohol; insect pests are mainly shell insects, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate or removed with a small brush or knife.

Grafting maintenance method of kumquat bonsai introduction: generally through branch grafting, cutting method is used in March-April, bud grafting is carried out from June to September, grafting is carried out in June, and potted plants often use this method. After the grafting survived, it can be transplanted before sprouting in the second year, and should bring more lodging soil. Potted kumquat can survive the winter safely as long as it is moved indoors when the weather is cold, and the room temperature should not be too high, which will lead to growth decline. Every 1-2 years, change the soil when you come out of the room in spring, after changing the soil, keep it in the shade for half a month, and then cultivate it in the sun. Kumquat should be pruned reasonably from February to March, cutting off dense branches, weak branches, overlapping branches, drooping branches and diseased branches. A strong branch does not need to be cut, but a long branch should start, and an aging branch should be cut short to promote its renewal. After pruning, we should not only make the branches messy, but also maintain considerable density to form a good round-headed crown. The autumn shoot is new in July, and the twigs that are too dense and affect the shape of the tree should be removed in time. Water and fertilizer management should be appropriate, if the leaves are yellow, may be too wet, immediately "buckle water"; if the leaves dry roll, should immediately replenish water. In order to achieve the purpose of fruit observation, it is necessary to appropriately increase the application of phosphate fertilizer. In the process of maintenance, we should also pay attention to the sun, the flowerpot facing south, still need to face south after moving, can not disorder the light, otherwise the tree potential is not prosperous. Kumquat trees are elegant, fragrant flowers and exquisite golden fruits, planted under courtyard windows or planted around lawn trees, adding color to the depressed winter. It has strong resistance to carbon dioxide and can also be used as a factory greening tree species. Golden orange fruit, flower into medicine, can regulate qi and relieve depression, remove blood stasis, sober up. The root enters the medicine, has the function of promoting qi, resolving phlegm and dispersing knots. Conservation methods of kumquat bonsai 1. Water production promotes the growth of new shoots in spring for about a month, and when the branches are not lignified, potted kumquat is treated with water, that is, drought treatment, with leaf meat rolls but not yet rolled up to the transition of the midrib, if it is seriously curled, it will produce the phenomenon of falling leaves. After that, foliar water spraying is carried out for 3 times from 11:00 to 17:00 every day to make the leaves moist and open and then lose water and curl. After a week, observe the axillary buds of branches. If the axillary buds are dilated and become light green round head-shaped protuberances, it shows that they have become flower buds, and the treatment of making water to promote flowers can be ended. After a few days, the leaves develop normally, and the axillary buds soon protrude into flowers. two。 Pruning technique in the first ten days of March, the potted kumquat was re-cut, and all the fruits were cut off, leaving only 4-5 main branches, and picking the heart once when 10 leaves germinated to promote the germination of new branches. All branches that grow in summer can become fruiting branches, and branches that grow in autumn should be cut off. After the fruit, the newly germinated branches should also be erased to avoid competing with the fruit for nutrients. Generally, a branch retains 2-3 fruits, and appropriate thinning of flowers and fruits is necessary to make the fruit size uniform. 3. The time of ring cutting to promote the growth of kumquat depends on the growth potential of kumquat. In summer, the germinating branches grow for about 25 days, usually cut once. After cutting, the water is controlled to not roll the leaves, the leaves turn yellow after half a month, and flower buds will be formed after 20 days. Ring cutting is only suitable for prosperous trees, but not for weak trees. 4. After the flower thinning of kumquat, a perennial regulator of plants, spraying gibberellin 20mg/L or 2.4 Mel D10mg Compact 0.3% urea is beneficial to the fruit. Spraying 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate + anti-falling hormone 40mg/L in young fruit stage is beneficial to the development of young fruit. 0.3% urea + 2.4mg/L-D20mg/L.5 can be sprayed in the strong fruit stage. Fertilizer and water management water every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, and once a day in sunny summer. Before sprouting, compound fertilizer based on nitrogen fertilizer was applied. Apply nitrogen and potash fertilizer after hanging fruit, but not too much nitrogen fertilizer. After the result, according to the principle of no watering when the basin soil is not dry and watering thoroughly, the alum fertilizer water containing phosphorus and calcium or cake fertilizer made by retting is applied. During the summer shoot growing period, if the water content of the potted soil is too large, it will cause falling flowers and fruits. Potted soil can not be too dry, hanging fruit during the period, too much water, will also drop fruit. The main diseases and insect pests of kumquat include canker, scab, yellow butterfly, jade belt butterfly, red spider, leaf miner, rust wall lice, orange aphid, longicorn beetle and so on.
