Master one small trick for potted fruit: thick branches, strong leaves, and many fruits, pick and eat whenever you want

If your home balcony has enough space, or even a terrace or rooftop, you can not only grow flowers and vegetables, but also grow some potted fruits and pick them whenever you want to eat them, which is really nice. If there is no soil, you can dig some yourself. Potted oranges, potted peaches, lemons, figs, blueberries, strawberries, all can produce fruit. The process is fun, and the plants bear a lot of fruit.How exactly do you grow potted fruit trees at home?

1. Prepare suitable flower pots and soil. Choose larger pots; except for strawberries, which can use smaller pots, others need a diameter of at least 30 cm. Clay pots and plastic pots are more breathable than porcelain pots.

2. As for soil, soil from the outskirts can be used. Add some leaf mold, sand, coal cinders, cow dung, chicken manure, and the like to make it more breathable, fertile, and loose.

3. When choosing seedlings, you can go to a flower and bird market, or a vegetable market in a small city, because you can directly see the condition of the seedlings. Choose seedlings with relatively strong root systems.

For potted oranges, it is best to choose small types such as shatangju (sugar mandarin) and kumquat; too large ones are not so good. Figs do not need to be bought; you can directly root cuttings from branches, and they will sprout, grow, and bear fruit. For grape seedlings, it is slightly better to choose larger ones, as they bear fruit earlier. For potted lemons, you can also choose larger seedlings, which are easier to keep alive.

4. After planting the potted fruit, water it thoroughly. If it is an enclosed balcony, be sure to open the windows for ventilation. It can be planted in both spring and autumn. After planting, wait one week before exposing it to light and sun.

5. Later, water whenever you see it is almost dry. Fertilize more before growth and flowering, a small amount each time. When the plant grows larger, switch to a correspondingly larger pot. Prune what needs pruning. It is quite easy to care for.

6. Ensure sufficient light and good ventilation. If you have a balcony, be sure to place it near the window. If you have a terrace or rooftop, be sure to place it on the terrace or rooftop. Outdoor growing will make potted fruits grow with thicker branches and stronger leaves, and bloom and bear more fruit.

Being able to eat fruit you grew with your own hands feels especially good.
