Growing a jujube tree on the balcony is easy and hardy, and next year the fruit will keep coming
If you had to say what is the fastest thing besides time, what do you all think it is? If you ask Huahua, the fastest thing besides time is fruit. Isn't it autumn now? A couple of days ago on the way home from work, Huahua passed by a fruit stand and actually found they were already selling jujubes, and so I thought of the jujube tree at my grandma's house when I was little.
As I thought about it, I got excited and wanted to grow a pot of jujube tree at home too, so I asked the elderly neighbor next door who loves growing flowers and vegetables for a few tips, and now I'll share with you what to pay attention to when growing a potted jujube tree at home. Few people grow jujube trees now; never mind jujube trees, other fruit trees are nowhere to be seen either. When I was little, I could still see a row of fig trees near my home that bore fruit every autumn, and Huahua and my friends would take long poles to knock down the figs. That kind of beautiful memory is gone forever, so I hope growing a jujube tree can keep a little memory at home.
Jujube trees are actually very easy to grow, not as hard as everyone imagines. When choosing soil, in order to let the jujube tree grow more and sweeter fruit, everyone should still try to buy some nutrient soil from the flower market and use it directly, which saves the trouble of mixing soil. It can be said to be not only suitable for lazy people, but also saves us a lot of time and energy.
Moreover, the jujube tree has strong adaptability, and basically it can survive as long as the weather is not extreme, so everyone does not need to worry about the jujube tree's survival.
Once the soil is chosen, you need to fertilize and water the jujube tree. After all, the jujube tree is meant to bear fruit. Since everyone has already chosen a simple method for the soil, you can put in a little more effort with fertilizing. Basically, you can fertilize the jujube tree once every half month, and you can choose some decomposed organic fertilizer. After all, we are growing the jujubes ourselves to eat, so chemical fertilizer can be used a little less. If you dislike the strong odor of poultry and livestock manure, you can choose some other organic fertilizer.
Normally, we can choose to water the jujube tree twice a week. The environment where the jujube tree grows does not need to be too moist; if it is too moist, it is hard to tell whether the jujube tree is short of water, and this prevents root rot from occurring. Finally, there is the issue of light. Actually, the jujube tree definitely needs plenty of light. When growing a jujube tree at home, it is generally placed on the balcony, so that sufficient sunlight can be ensured. Except in summer when the sunlight is too intense and shading is needed, the rest of the time you can just leave it alone. But now that midsummer has passed, there is no need to worry.
Don't you think it is simple? Although the time waiting for the jujube tree to bear fruit may be a little long, once the jujube tree bears fruit and you pick one and taste it, that flavor makes it all worthwhile. So how about it, do you want to grow a pot of such an easy jujube tree with Huahua and put it on the balcony? Super simple.
