The latest method for making potted dwarf pomegranate

I. Sowing

1. Sowing time

This plant is vigorous and highly adaptable to its environment. Apart from winter, it can be sown in the other three seasons. Although the sowing time is flexible, a certain temperature range must be maintained, generally no lower than 18 degrees and no higher than 25 degrees, to ensure the normal growth of its seeds.

2. Sowing method

Because the seed coat of this plant is very hard, the seeds need to be treated briefly with clean warm water before sowing, generally soaking for one day is enough. However, note that the soaking water must not be higher than 40 degrees, otherwise the seeds may be damaged. After sowing, a thin layer of fine soil should be lightly covered over the seeds, and not too much, and it must be kept moist at all times. When summer temperatures are too high, protect against scorching sun and heavy rain by covering the seeds or moving them indoors. After sowing, they will sprout in about half a month.

II. Transplanting

After the seeds sprout, once the new seedlings grow to about 15 cm, they should be transplanted. When transplanting, they should be moved with soil, using a flower pot about 20 cm in diameter, and only one plant can be transplanted per pot. Fertile garden soil should be used as the base soil in the pot, mixed with a small amount of decomposed fertilizer cake. After transplanting, the plant should be pinched to help it grow branches, making the plant short and dense and improving its shape.

III. Management

If the dwarf pomegranate is grown from seedlings in early spring, it generally blooms in June-July of the same summer and bears fruit in autumn. If the plant is three years old or more, a single plant can bloom nearly a hundred flowers at the same time and bear dozens of fruits. The fruits generally weigh about 80 grams, and larger fruits can even reach 200 grams. As long as conditions are suitable, the fruits and flowers will remain on the tree, giving a very good ornamental effect.

In winter, as long as the temperature is kept between 5-25 degrees, this plant can continue to bloom after autumn until the new spring. Friends in the south can let it overwinter naturally, while in the north it needs to be moved indoors.

When planting, give it plenty of sunlight. During long periods of cloudy weather, appropriate supplementary light should be given to help the plant store nutrients and improve the quality of flowering and fruiting. Apart from that, just ensure suitable water and fertilizer conditions.
