How to grow an orange tree

1. Soil: To grow orange trees, you need to use loose, humus-rich sandy soil, and you can apply some organic fertilizer to the soil appropriately.

2. Light: It likes sunlight, so it is best to place it in a place with sufficient light. It can be grown on the balcony. If it is grown indoors, move it outdoors frequently to allow it to receive appropriate sunlight.

3. Watering: Do not water too much at normal times, just make sure the soil is moist. Generally water once in summer. If the weather is relatively dry, water once in the morning and evening. In spring and autumn, you only need to water once a day, and in winter, water once every 3-4 days.

4. Fertilization: Nitrogen fertilizer can be applied when the orange tree is still in the seedling stage, and thin fertilizer should be applied frequently at other times.

2. Breeding Methods

2. Propagation by cuttings: Generally, use strong branches for cuttings. You can apply some rooting hormone on the wounds of the branches, and then slowly insert them into the soil. The soil should not be too moist to avoid root rot.

3. Common pests and diseases

Common diseases and pests of orange trees include anthracnose, red spider mites, scale insects, etc. After discovery, they should be sprayed with pesticides for prevention and control. Prevention should be carried out in daily life, such as reasonable fertilization, enhanced disease resistance of the plants, and proper ventilation.
