Apple Planting Technology in Hunan

1. Temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for apples is 12-24℃. The plant does not like high temperatures and prefers a low temperature and dry growing environment. The winter temperature cannot be lower than -12℃, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of the plant.

2. Watering

If apple trees are planted in an orchard, fertilization needs to be concentrated. If they are grown in potted plants, the amount of fertilizer required by the plants is not very large, and base fertilizer can be mixed into the soil.

3. Lighting

Light is very important for the growth of apples. If you want to improve the quality of the fruit, you must have sufficient light. The daily light time should not be less than 6-7 hours, otherwise it will cause the branches to grow too long.
