How to grow potted grapefruit trees

illumination

Pomelo trees will only grow well in an environment with good lighting. Of course, they can bloom even in a brightly lit room, but it is almost impossible for them to bear fruit.

Watering

Almost most plants do not like stagnant water, but the rootstock of pomelo tree, trifoliate orange, has strong adaptability, so watering should be based on the principle of "better to have less than to have rotten".

Fertilization

Fertilizer should be applied in accordance with the principle of small amounts of fertilizer but frequently. In the north, you can consider applying wood ash.

Flower Control

Improve the fruit-bearing rate. Potted plants are easy to keep alive and easy to bloom. The most difficult part is fruiting. It is often good if one pot can bear one grapefruit. Fruit preservation can be done from two aspects: 1. Increase tree nutrition, strengthen fertilizer and water management, retain leaves as much as possible, and prevent abnormal leaf fall; 2. Control the number of flowers, and thin out those deformed flowers and those that are too dense.

pollination

Artificial pollination. Although grapefruit is hermaphroditic, if artificial pollination is done appropriately, the fruit-bearing rate will be increased. Pollination is achieved by bringing the stamens and pistils of the flower into contact with each other and allowing the pollen to spread to each other.
