Kumquat is recorded in the genus Rutaceae. The fruit is edible. The most common way of planting is outdoor open-air planting. As indoor flowering begins to spread, there is also the existence of indoor kumquat trees. This article mainly brings you indoors. Culture methods and precautions for kumquat trees.
Indoor kumquat tree breeding method
Reproduction
There are two main breeding methods for kumquat trees, one is grafting and the other is seedling reproduction.
Seedlings reproduce kumquat trees, you need to buy high-quality kumquat seedlings in the market, and configure them with nutrient soil. This kind of breeding method has a longer waiting period, and generally needs to be planted for more than 3 years before fruiting.
The way of grafting and breeding is by cutting the side branches of the mature mother plant and marrying it onto the healthy mother plant. After rooting, it can be planted in pots, and the length of the side branches is at least 10 About cm, the best time to graft is from April to July.
2. Upper basin
After the seedlings have been successfully propagated, it is necessary to prepare suitable planting pots. Considering the development of the root system of kumquat trees, it is recommended to select large and deep-bottomed flower pots. The material is recommended to be plastic and not easy to be broken.
Take out the seedlings that have been propagated, and prun the old soil and roots of the roots, and put them into the garden soil in the prepared pots. When the basin is in the upper basin, lift the roots with both hands to avoid adding soil. Let the root contact the bottom of the basin and keep it at a position of about 5 cm.
After the success of the upper basin, you can pour a proper amount of water to help rooting. Before rooting, it is not recommended to apply fertilizer, and then place it directly on the balcony.
Kumquat tree planting considerations
Moderate lighting:
Kumquat tree is a hi-light plant, so whether it is in the growing season, maturity, plants should be allowed to enjoy sufficient light every day, not suitable for long-term indoor maintenance in the shade, the minimum daily light time is more than 8 hours.
During the maintenance of kumquat trees, the lack of light will not only cause the leaves to yellow, but also directly affect the flowering and fruiting stages. The fruits will be small, dry and have poor taste.
Moderate fertilization:
Kumquat tree is good for fertilizer. The best choice for fattening is a humus leaf soil. You can also configure organic fertilizer by yourself. After rooting, you can start fertilizing at intervals of 7-10 days. You can also directly fertilize the fertilizer to achieve a single application of water and fertilizer. For the purpose, plant nutrient absorption is better. In the summer, when the temperature is higher than 35 degrees Celsius, fertilization should be stopped. When flowering, phosphate fertilizer should be applied.
Moderate watering:
When the kumquat tree is watered, the law of dry watering should be maintained to avoid the formation of water in the basin and the soil is thick. It is recommended to build the pelvic floor of the kumquat tree with bricks to help drainage.
The common water time should be controlled once every two days. In summer, the temperature is too high. It is recommended to water twice a day, while winter should be controlled once a week. Secondly, the indoor kumquat tree is not recommended to be watered by rain.
