How to propagate pomegranate and what to pay attention to

How to reproduce pomegranate

There are three ways to propagate pomegranates: cuttings, division and sowing. For it, the survival rate of these three methods is relatively high, and it is also easier to take root.

Pomegranate seeds can be propagated. They are usually planted in August and September each year, and the seeds are harvested after the fruit is ripe. Pomegranates naturally reproduce by seed propagation. When planting, it is necessary to maintain a suitable growth temperature.

Pomegranate breeding time

The survival rate of pomegranate is high in spring and autumn, and when planting, it is best to use the method of cutting propagation, so that its survival rate will be higher, and it must have sufficient sunlight at ordinary times.

Pomegranate propagation method

Pomegranate division propagation

Pomegranate division propagation is generally carried out in the spring of each year. You need to use a sharp knife to cut off the sprouts growing around the roots, cut off about one-third of the upper part of each branch, and retain some fibrous roots in the lower part. Generally, 2-3 branches are planted in a cluster in a pot and watered thoroughly.

Pomegranate cutting propagation

When propagating pomegranates by cuttings, it is usually done in spring and autumn, which is more conducive to rooting, and relatively sturdy branches should be used as cuttings.

Pomegranate seed propagation

For pomegranate propagation by seed, you need to take out the seeds after the fruit is ripe. It is usually planted in August or September. However, it needs to be germinated before planting, and the temperature must be kept at 20-25℃. New shoots and roots will grow after one month.

Pomegranate breeding precautions

When propagating pomegranate, you need to pay attention to the fact that it prefers a humid growing environment, so the soil should be kept moist at ordinary times. During the growing season, liquid fertilizer should be applied twice a month to maintain sufficient nutrients.
