To plant kumquat, it is necessary to provide suitable soil to ensure loose, breathable and nutritious. It needs acid soil, which is difficult to grow in alkaline soil. Sufficient sunshine is needed in the growth process, so this should be taken into consideration when planting, to ensure that there is enough sunlight, not to be planted in a place where there is no shade of sunshine, and the hot sun can be properly covered in summer. Kumquat likes a warm growing environment, and the planting site should maintain the appropriate temperature as much as possible.
Kumquat likes to be wet. During its growth, it needs to be watered regularly to keep the pot soil moist, but the water should not be excessive. Otherwise, the pot soil will easily lead to rotten roots. In summer, the climate is hot. In addition to watering, it needs to spray water 2-3 times a day, but avoid spraying water during the flowering period. In the process of planting, fertilization should be maintained and P and K fertilizer should be increased before flowering.
Pruning is an important work. Before sprouting in spring, a heavy pruning should be carried out. Over dense branches, overgrown branches, dead branches and disease and insect branches should be pruned. 2-3 buds should be kept on the branches, and the rest should be cut off. Through pruning, nutrient consumption can be reduced, and flower opening and fruit bearing can be promoted.
At the end of autumn, when the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the kumquat will be moved indoors, and the indoor temperature will be kept between 6-12 ℃.
