How to manage the fruiting period of potted kumquat well and under what circumstances need to prolong the flowering period

Potted kumquat often produces the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruits. Such as rainy flowering, excessive control of moisture, or short supply of fertilizer and water when sprouting new shoots, as well as high temperature, are easy to cause falling flowers and fruits. For this reason, the management and control of fruit period should be done well.

Before and after flowering, in addition to the correct fertilizer and water management, the foliar should be cooled by spraying water before and after noon and evening. If new shoots are found, they should be removed in time. When blooming, flowers should be thinned properly to save nutrients.

After flowering, 0.3%-0.4% urea or 0.3% compound fertilizer can be sprayed, and 15ppm's 2mem4murD can be added, which has a significant effect on fruit protection of potted kumquat.

After the birth of young fruit, when the young fruit grows to 1 cm in size, but also for fruit thinning, generally leaving 3 fruits per branch is appropriate. In the axilla of the same leaf, sometimes 2-3 young fruits are born, only one can be selected, and the fruit of the whole plant is evenly distributed.

In the future, the autumn shoots should be cut off in time to avoid secondary fruit, so as to make the fruit develop well-the fruit shape and maturity are the same, and the ornamental value can be improved.

Under normal circumstances, the fruit of the Beginning of Winter turns yellow gradually. In order to cooperate with the Spring Festival viewing, if the fruit ripens too early, shading and increasing nitrogen fertilizer (0.4% urea) can be used to postpone the ripening period.

If the fruit ripens late and the Spring Festival does not turn yellow, it can be coated with 1500ppm ethephon or sprayed with 20-50ppm gibberellin 25 days before the scheduled ripening period.
