For potted fruit trees, it is best to choose grafted seedlings that are 3 or 4 years old or more, and do not use fruit tree seedlings grown from seed, otherwise it will be very difficult for them to bear fruit. When growing them on a balcony, it is best to choose fruit trees grafted onto dwarfing rootstocks.

You still need to choose a suitable flower pot, preferably a container of 50 to 60 liters or more. The bottom of the pot should have many drainage holes, and you can appropriately add some decomposed organic fertilizer to the bottom of the pot, which helps better promote flowering and fruiting of the fruit tree.

Each time it is close to the flowering period, you should give a phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every two weeks, that is, a fertilizer with a relatively high concentration of phosphorus and potassium, such as the common monopotassium phosphate.

1. Apple

If you want to grow apples in a flower pot, you need apple seedlings grafted onto some low-growing rootstocks. Apples actually have many varieties, and you can choose some dwarf ones. It is best to grow two or more, so that they can pollinate each other.

2. Mango

Mango is a tropical fruit. It likes a warm and humid environment year-round. For potted care, you should also choose some dwarf varieties. It is afraid of frost, and the minimum care temperature should be kept above 5°C. The growing soil should be rich in humus and have good drainage. The growing environment must have as much light as possible.

3. Dragon fruit

Dragon fruit is also very suitable for growing in flower pots. It must have a support for it to climb and grow, and it can also be planted next to a fence. Dragon fruit can climb to about 1 to 2 m high, so that it can grow fruit. The care location should have more than 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day, maintain a warm and humid environment year-round, and the soil should be sandy soil for cultivation. Some decomposed manure can be added to the bottom of the pot.

4. Fig

Figs are suitable for growing on a balcony. Directly choose some perennial branches for cutting propagation. Keep the care location with plenty of light, and avoid growing it in a shaded place.

During the growing period, you can fertilize regularly, avoid frequent watering, and water thoroughly after the soil dries out. In autumn and winter, the temperature is not too high, and keeping it between 7 and 12°C is most suitable. This helps winter dormancy, and only then can it bear fruit normally the following year.

5. Guava

Guava is a tropical fruit and does not require much care skill. It has extremely strong adaptability to the environment, but it needs loose, breathable, and well-drained sandy soil for cultivation, avoiding water accumulation in the soil or long-term moisture. The growing environment should maintain ventilation and light transmission, with more than 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If you want it to bear fruit, you must maintain a warm and humid environment year-round, and keep the minimum care temperature above 5°C.

6. Longan

Longan is a fruit tree with a relatively tall plant. If you want to care for it in a pot, you need to choose some dwarf varieties, preferably grown from perennial grafted seedlings. Choose a larger container, preferably black, so that it can absorb more heat. Enough decomposed organic fertilizer should be added to the bottom of the pot.

7. Kumquat

Kumquat is a very common potted fruit. Some are grown for ornamental purposes. Daily care is relatively simple. The care environment should maintain warmth and humidity year-round, and the minimum care temperature should be kept above 5°C.

Kumquat should be watered regularly during the growing period to avoid long-term drought in the soil. Also note that during the growing period, give a thin organic fertilizer once every two to three weeks to promote better growth in the pot. Care also requires regular pruning to control the plant shape.
