Pomegranate cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Watering: When growing pomegranates in potted plants, just keep the soil slightly moist. There is no need to water them too much. Just be careful not to water the flowers during their flowering period.

2. Fertilizer: You don’t need to fertilize it too much. Apply liquid fertilizer once every half a month or so. After fertilizing, water it to allow it to fully penetrate into the soil and ensure it has enough growth needs.

3. Light: It needs sufficient light to maintain its growth. If there is insufficient light, the branches will become thin and the leaves will turn yellow. Long-term lack of light may result in the plant not blooming or bearing fruit.

4. Temperature: A growth environment of 15-25℃ is most suitable for its growth, and the ambient temperature must be up to standard during the flowering and fruiting period. If the ambient temperature is below 15℃ for a long time, it will cause the branches to grow too long, reducing the number and quality of fruits.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: During the maintenance period, you should frequently prune overgrown and old branches, which is of great benefit to the overall health of the plant. It not only reduces excessive consumption of nutrients, but also increases its permeability, and insect pests will also be reduced.

2. Reproduction: There are many ways of reproduction, among which division is relatively simple. When its branches sprout in April, dig a root sucker seedling and plant it directly.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Yellow leaves: If it is caused by excessive watering, drain the water or change the soil in time. If it is caused by too much fertilizer, you need to water as soon as possible to dilute the excess fertilizer in the soil.

2. Pomegranate stem moth: This pest is very harmful to pomegranates and mainly feeds on the sap of tree branches. When this kind of pest appears, it is necessary to spray professional pesticides in time to kill the insects.

IV. Other issues

1. Can pomegranates be eaten? Of course pomegranates are edible. When the pomegranates are ripe, their fruits will crack. At this time, you can pick them, peel them and eat them.

2. Can it be grown indoors: Pomegranates can be grown indoors, provided that there is good lighting indoors, because pomegranate trees need sufficient light to grow and they also need frequent ventilation.
