How to grow Jabuticaba potted plants

1. Maintenance methods

1. Light: Jabuticaba is a light-loving plant. In order to ensure its growth, it needs to be given sufficient light. It can be placed in the sun all day, or in the shade. But long-term absence of light is not good for its growth and will cause the leaves to wilt.

2. Soil: Jabuticaba has a good adaptability to soil, as long as it is not alkaline soil. Loose, fertile, acidic soil is beneficial to its growth, and a mixture of leaf mold and sand can be used as the substrate. Place a few broken tiles in the basin to enhance its drainage.

3. Watering: Jaboticola likes a humid environment, but is not tolerant to waterlogging. You need to check the soil in the pot regularly and water it when the surface is dry. The amount of water should not be too large to prevent water accumulation, which is not conducive to the growth of roots.

4. Fertilization: Organic fertilizer is usually chosen for fertilizing jaboticaba, and it can be mixed with microbial fertilizer. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in fertilizer is about 1:2:1, which is more conducive to its growth. Fertilize frequently, but not at too high a concentration.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Sowing: The jaboticaba fruit contains seeds. Take them out and sow them. Raise the temperature appropriately to accelerate seed germination. Too low temperature will affect its growth.

2. Grafting: Grafting is usually carried out in winter. Use two-year-old seedlings as rootstocks and fruiting branches as scions. Grafting can make the plant bear fruit more quickly.

3. Pest and disease control

Jabuticaba does not have many diseases and pests. The main thing to guard against is moths, which can be prevented with low-toxic insecticides.
