3. How do you grow the pomegranate flower?

1. Key planting points

Pomegranates can be planted at any time, but the best time is in early spring and autumn. The north is more suited to spring planting, while the south is suited to autumn planting. When choosing seedlings, select ones with an intact root system, plump buds and smooth stems; at the same time, turn over and loosen the soil, remove debris, replace it with new soil, and dig a hole deep enough to reach half a meter, planting deeply. At the same time, apply enough organic fertilizer, mix the fertilizer thoroughly with the topsoil and fill the soil back in.

2. Water and fertilizer management

Key watering points: pay attention to irrigation and drainage. During the three key periods of the pomegranate's budding stage, fruit-swelling stage and before leaf fall, irrigation should be carried out to keep the soil moisture at 60-80%; of course, adjustments should also be made in a timely way during other periods. At the same time, pay attention to drainage, as pomegranates are drought-tolerant but not waterlogging-tolerant.

Key fertilizing points: when growing pomegranates, also pay attention to maintaining sufficient fertilizer. In the year of planting, additional fertilizer is needed, generally farmyard manure plus urea. Fertilizer is also needed before leaf fall in autumn and during the full fruiting period. Of course, fertilizer also needs to be increased during the pomegranate's rapid growth period, but be careful to control the fertilizer concentration and avoid it being too high; mainly nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers are used.

3. Shaping and pruning work

The pomegranate is a light-loving plant, so attention should be paid to good lighting. At the same time, as an ornamental plant, attention should also be paid to maintaining its ornamental value, so the plant should be pruned at the right time. The shape of the pruning at this point varies from person to person. The general principle is: do not let it die from being shaped, do not let it become a mess from being unshaped; pay attention to the density of the branches and leaves, and prune as you please, depending on what you like.
