How to plant kumquat seeds so they grow into a small potted plant

Kumquat is a very common fruit, rich in nutrients, with a sweet and sour taste, and is one of the must-eat fruits of the autumn and winter seasons. Kumquat seeds can also be planted into a small potted plant, so how do you plant small kumquat seeds into a small potted plant?

1. How to plant kumquat seeds into a small potted plant?

1. Rinse the leftover kumquat fruit with water to clean off the residual liquid on it, then discard the shriveled seeds, and let them air-dry on the balcony before sowing.

2. The soil for planting kumquat seeds needs to be fertile, with a deep soil layer and strong air permeability; if the soil is too poor, it is not suitable for planting.

3. After choosing the flower pot you want to plant in, you can put the soil in and set the seedlings. Generally, kumquat seedlings need to be watered once a day or every other day. In summer and autumn, liquid fertilizer can be applied 4 to 5 times. After the seedlings sprout, they can be moved into a large pot for planting.

4. When repotting, be careful to keep the soil ball with the roots and do not pull the seedlings out directly. The flower pot chosen for cultivating a kumquat tree should be a breathable clay pot, with broken tiles placed at the bottom for drainage. For the soil mix, you can choose leaf mold, compost and horse manure soil, with a small amount of cake fertilizer added. Before placing the sprouted seedlings into the prepared potting soil, spray the potting soil with a medicinal solution to disinfect it first.

2. How to care for it?

After repotting, water the potting soil thoroughly, then place it in a warm environment to grow for two weeks. After that, the potted plant can gradually be moved to a sunny spot; do not place the potted plant directly in the sunlight. Although kumquat likes light, if the light is too strong it will still scorch its leaves, so in spring we can place the flower pot in a sheltered, sunny spot, and in the hot summer weather we should do a good job of shading management.

Kumquat is still relatively easy to care for. If it is grown well, the kumquat will also bear fruit, and fruits hanging all over the branches will have even higher ornamental value.
