How to cultivate pomegranate flowers

Pomegranate flowers are more used as ornamental by people, so pomegranate flowers are easy to survive and easy to cultivate. Next, let's learn how to grow pomegranate flowers with us.

How to grow pomegranate flowers

1. Planting

Pomegranate planting can be carried out all the year round, especially in early spring and autumn. It is said that it is planted in spring in the north and autumn in the south. It is appropriate to select high-quality seedlings with complete root system, full bud eyes and smooth stem, which can stir the soil until it is mature, remove sundries, change new soil, dig to 50 square meters, bury it deep, reach 0.6-0.8 meters in length, and apply 25-50 kilograms of organic fertilizer, which is fully mixed with topsoil and backfilled.

2. Water and fertilizer management

(1) moisture

Irrigation and drainage is said, that is, the pomegranate needs to be irrigated during the critical period, and the soil moisture should be 60-80%, while it should also be flexibly controlled in other periods. These three key periods are budding stage, fruit expansion stage and pre-defoliation stage. Because pomegranate is resistant to drought and waterlogging, it is also necessary to pay attention to drainage treatment to prevent poor growth of pomegranate caused by waterlogging.

(2) fertilization

In the year of planting, additional fertilizer is needed, which is mixed with 1-2 kg of cooked manure water and a small amount of urea, and applied to the soil. Autumn leaves also need to be fertilized, the general practice is to dig a good ring ditch, topdressing 20-30 kg. Fertilization is also needed in the full fruit period, and rotten manure water is applied in Shupan hole for 3-4 times. It is also necessary to pay attention to topdressing in the growing season, which is usually dominated by nitrogen fertilizer, followed by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and pay attention to controlling the concentration of fertilizer.

3. Shaping and pruning

Pomegranate likes light, so considering its light transmission performance, in addition, of course, we should also pay attention to ornamental. Therefore, attention should be paid to ensuring a certain shape when shaping and pruning. For example, natural happy shape, "V" shape and so on.

The principle of pomegranate pruning is: visible never die, invisible do not know chaos. Therefore, these branches and leaves should be carried out in accordance with this principle, so as to make their strong branches have room to grow, while no use of space should be dealt with in time.

4. Insect pests

Pomegranate should mainly focus on the two periods before and after fruit setting, early pest control and late disease control. Pomegranate trees are prone to pests such as diamondback moth, aphids, bugs, shell insects, Spodoptera litura and so on from the end of April to the first and middle of May. After fruit setting, the main diseases are white rot, black pox and anthrax.

Pomegranate flowers are often propagated by cuttings, ramets and strips.

Cuttage propagation

Biennial branches can be selected in spring or semi-lignified branches in summer, which can take root 15-20 days after cutting. Ramet, when the bud germinates in early spring, the strong root tiller seedlings can be dug up and planted separately.

Striping propagation

It can be carried out in spring and autumn without scratching. Before the bud germinates, it is pressed into the soil with some tillering branches of the root, and the mother plant is cut off after taking root in summer, and the seedling is formed in autumn.

Open field cultivation should choose places with sufficient light and good drainage. In the process of growth, it is necessary to remove roots and tillering seedlings and cut off dead branches, diseased branches, dense branches and overgrown branches to facilitate ventilation and light.

Pot propagation

It should be planted shallowly, watering should be controlled, dry should not be wet. During the growing period, it is necessary to pick the heart, control the growth of vegetative branches and promote the formation of flower buds.
