Cultivation methods and precautions of Shatian pomelo

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Pomelo grows best in deep, fertile sandy soil with good drainage and ventilation. When preparing the soil, you can use sawdust, charcoal ash and a small amount of leaf mold.

2. Light: It likes relatively warm light and should be exposed to the sun more often so that it can grow healthily and vigorously. However, in summer, it is necessary to block the sunlight to avoid being exposed to the scorching sun, but it can accept normal direct sunlight.

3. Temperature: It likes to grow in warm places, and it will grow better in an environment of 21-29℃. It is best not to exceed 35℃ in summer. Its cold resistance is not very strong. Try to keep it above 10℃ in winter so that it can survive the winter safely.

4. Water: Pomelo requires more water. In spring and summer, it needs to be watered twice a day. In autumn, it is sufficient to water it once a day.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by grafting, which can be done around April or May every year. However, after grafting, you must pay attention to the temperature adjustment and keep it at 15-20℃ to ensure the survival of the seedlings.

2. Pruning: Pruning is usually done in winter. Some useless branches should be pruned, and attention should be paid to retaining some branches to keep the tree adequately nourished.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Anthracnose: After the disease occurs, light brown spots will appear on the rhizomes. The spots will gradually spread and cause the roots to rot. If left untreated for a long time, it will lead to its death. Once discovered, it should be removed as soon as possible, and the plants should be kept clean and sprayed with methyl sulfhydryl spray in time.

2. Root rot: Rot will occur in the rhizomes and bark. Once discovered, spray with new lipid film as soon as possible.

IV. Other issues

1. Is it edible? The pomelo it produces is edible. It can be used to make juice or jam.

2. Can it be grown at home: It can be grown in a potted plant at home, placed on an outdoor terrace or in the courtyard of the home. It is very convenient and simple to care for and can be enjoyed.
