How to plant and care for kumquat trees after Tet

After Tet holiday, many families often throw away kumquat trees rather than continue growing without knowing that if they are cared for according to the planting techniques, they can grow and produce fruits and vegetables for Tet next year.

To help the kumquat tree grow and grow well, you need to pay attention to take care of it in the New Year days. Water the leaves with a spray bottle and water the plants with enough moisture to help the kumquat tree stay fresh and not lose its leaves after Tet.

Planting and tending plants

After Tet, when you have cut off the fruit, you should not bring the kumquat tree to the garden immediately. First use root stimulating products such as A-H502, Orgamin or eco garden growth water, . mix with water according to the instructions and spray wet leaves and stumps. After about 10 days, the young roots of the plant are formed. Before bringing the plants out to plant in the garden, use hand to remove 1/2 to 1/3 of the leaves on the tree and then plant and moisten like normal seedlings.

You should choose soil with sand, clay and a pH of 5-6 to ensure good ventilation and moisture to help plants grow well. It is recommended to plant in high and well-drained areas to avoid flooding, causing trees to grow slowly and die.

After planting 5-7 days, you need to cultivate the surrounding soil and about 30cm away from the original. Next is watering and fertilizing (NPK or water fertilizer can be purchased at the shops selling bonsai) to the cultivated land to provide more nutrients to the plants. Healthy plants will reduce pests and diseases.

According to the cycle of 15-20 days, you apply fertilizer to the tree regularly. You can use PTS 9 micronutrients and eco garden growth solution to help plants grow well, green and thicker leaves, bigger round fruits.

The rate of mixing fertilizer for plants is as follows:

1. When young leaves are abundant: concentration of 5ml / 15 liters of water
2. When cake leaves, old leaves: concentration of 5ml / 10 liters of water

Shaping the tree

When branches and kumquat leaves have developed well, you can implement techniques to create and create canopy for trees. If the branches still grow in the old fashion, then you just need to trim them. When trimming, you need to use professional sharpening tools to avoid damaging the branches. Cutting and pruning works periodically every 7-10 days.

Put plants in pots

In the middle of May until the end of May, you can whip it into a pot to take care of it, this step is also considered to be a whirlwind step to stimulate flowering plants. Before the kumquat island, watered with enough moisture, use a slag dress around 60-100cm away from the tree and then use the water to remove all the surrounding soil to create a deep ditch of 40cm, 20cm wide. Then trim off the soil until the bulb diameter is about 40 - 60cm. In the process of removing the soil, we cut off the roots that are too big (diameter> 1cm) not wrapped around the pots, and the small, soft and long roots wrap around the pots, using plastic strings to fasten the roots through the root. Use strong iron floss to cut off the soil as well as the roots below the bulb. Finally, you just need to lift the plant into a pot.

Create fruit

If you want on the canopy, there is only one type of fruit : Let the tree just beat the gourd into a shady place, avoid heavy rain to damage the gourd during about 10-20 days. When the wilted leaves are almost lost (80-90% of the fallen leaves), replant the plants into pots and take care of them normally. Doing so around July 8, the plants will produce flowers simultaneously and ripen in January and February of the Lunar New Year.

Want to spread both ripe fruit, green fruit, just have flower buds : Let the new plant beat the ball in the shade for 7-10 days so that the canopy of the tree falls less than half of the leaves, put it into the pots to take care. When the fruit in the first flower and the second flower is as big as a small bean (6-8 months), we have to cut 1/2 the amount of fruit, remove the young buds, apply nitrogen + potassium fertilizer or increase the growth of the plant. flowering, results and development of later litters. At the end of the year, the tree on the canopy has both ripe fruits, green fruits, and flowers and young buds.
