How to make a four-season kumquat bonsai? Detailed guide to the latest method
Making method
First, if you want to grow four-season kumquat well, you need to choose good seedlings, so the plants that grow will be more beautiful. Choose a medium-sized sandy flowerpot, put normal cultivation soil into the bottom of the pot, then mix in some organic manure to provide nutrients. Plant the selected seedlings into the pot, water them appropriately, and then just keep them in sufficient sunlight every day.
After the four-season kumquat has grown, it needs pruning of branches and leaves. Every year when it sprouts in early spring, cut off some unevenly growing branches and leaves, and remove diseased branches and leaves. If there are many young buds on the branches, you can remove some appropriately, keeping a small portion, so that it can bloom and bear fruit better and faster.
Management method
The four-season kumquat is suitable for growing in a relatively warm environment with relatively humid climate. During its vigorous growth stage, you must maintain the soil's water permeability, and there must not be too much standing water. In summer, water evaporates in larger amounts. At this time, you can water it by spraying and irrigation to cool it down. Spraying water helps prevent the temperature around it from getting too high, while irrigation ensures the water will not be completely evaporated. While spraying, you can also wash away the dust on the leaves to keep the leaves clean and healthy. During the sprouting stage, the four-season kumquat should have its water amount appropriately reduced, which helps produce more young buds. After the plant has grown, use the method of three days dry and two days water for watering. This method prevents the imbalance of too much or too little water, and helps the four-season kumquat bloom and bear fruit better.
