How to manage potted kumquat during flowering and fruit setting? Because the potting soil restricts the growth of the kumquat's root system. After winter passes and spring arrives, at this time we must replenish fertilizer for it. The fertilizer choice should be mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. It can increase the number of flowers it produces and also effectively prevent flower drop and bud drop. Continue until flower buds appear, then stop fertilizing.

During the flowering period, water must not be lacking. Lack of water easily causes leaves to wilt and flowers to drop. After the flowers open, we must pollinate them. Because they are grown indoors, there are no insects to pollinate them. If not pollinated, they will not set fruit, so we need to pollinate them by hand. After successful pollination, the fruit enlargement stage begins.

Wait until the flowers have completely finished blooming and the fruit begins to swell. The first thing we need to do is thin the fruit, because it is grown in a pot, and the nutrients in the pot are limited. If the supply cannot keep up in time, too many fruits set will cause the fruit to not grow large, to be uneven, or to develop deformed fruit. Keeping two to three fruits on one branch is enough. While thinning the fruit, be sure to prune the branches. The branches above the fruit, the newly sprouted tender buds and new shoots, should all be pruned off, and the side buds on the main trunk branches below the fruit should also be pruned off as much as possible. Keep only one main trunk and a small number of old branches. Branches that have not flowered should be cut back as much as possible. This allows nutrients to be supplied in a concentrated way. Only then will the fruit grow well and not drop.

After the flowers fade, we must fertilize in time. The later topdressing should also mainly use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. It can effectively prevent fruit drop and also help the fruit expand and ripen quickly. The principle of fertilizing is two to three times a month. Continue until the fruit ripens. During this period, add a multi-element mixed fertilizer once every one to two months. Only then can the nutritional balance of the whole plant be ensured. Yellowing and falling leaves will not occur.

After the fruit is completely ripe, if you want to continue enjoying the fruit, you can let the fruit hang on the plant for a long time, until spring of the following year. The fruit will still grow very well on it. But if you want it to continue flowering and fruiting next year, then after the fruit ripens, it should be cut off in time. Avoid leaving it hanging for a long time, which affects its flowering and fruiting next year. Pay attention to these points, and next year it will still be full of flowers
