How to prevent figs falling from flowers and fruits

Many potted friends like to plant figs in family potted plants, which are not only ornamental but also convenient for fruit picking. However, the daily maintenance and management work must be done well, otherwise it may also have growth problems, especially in the flowering and fruit period, if the management work is not done properly, it is also easy to fall flowers and fruits.

Figs have fallen flowers and fruits for many reasons, usually due to poor soil quality, rotten roots or too much fertilizer and water. But in fact, if it encounters the invasion of diseases and insect pests, it is also more prone to the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruits. It can be seen that the reason for the drop of figs is not relatively simple or single, but in many aspects, which requires us to judge carefully.

As far as potted soil is concerned, figs prefer soils with ph values between 7.2 and 7.5, which are closer to neutral or slightly alkaline. If the acidity of the basin soil we use is too high, it will inevitably affect its normal growth. If it happens to catch up with the flowering and fruiting period, it is bound to cause the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruits. Therefore, in order to prevent it from falling flowers and fruits, it is necessary to keep the loose air permeability and suitable pH of the potted soil as far as possible.

If it has rotten roots, it is also one of the main reasons for its large number of flowers and fruits. However, there are many factors that cause rotten roots, and most of them are damaged by excessive fertilizer and water. We should not water and fertilize figs just because they like water and fertilizer. when there is too much fertilizer, it is not only easy to cause falling flowers and fruits, but also easy to cause rotten roots. Therefore, too much fertilizer and water and rotten roots are also important reasons for its large number of falling flowers and fruits.

And figs in the fruit of calcium demand is also a lot, and if too much watering or frequent rain, it will inevitably affect calcium absorption. And the fruit absorbs less calcium, there will be malnutrition or nutrition imbalance, so there will be fruit drop phenomenon. Usually, we must water and fertilize scientifically, which can effectively prevent it from falling flowers and fruits.

In addition, if the plant is attacked by diseases and insect pests in the flowering and fruit stage, it is also easy to let it drop flowers and fruits. Figs are more vulnerable to longicorn beetles, mites, nematodes, weevil and other pests, once found to be treated in time. Diseases are mainly root rot, fruit rot and so on, which also need to be prevented and controlled. In general, plants suffering from diseases and insect pests are caused by the deterioration of the conservation environment, so we must make the maintenance environment illuminated adequately, bright and ventilated, so as to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of diseases and insect pests and avoid causing plants to fall flowers and fruits.
