How to cultivate and manage orange saplings?

1. Provide soil

When cultivating orange saplings, first mix garden soil, cinders and river sand evenly, then sprinkle quicklime into the mixed soil and wait for the quicklime to form. When they are young, add decomposed organic fertilizer to the soil to improve the fertility of the soil, and finally plant the orange saplings into the soil.

2. Growth environment

When maintaining orange saplings, they should be placed outdoors in a sunny and rain-proof place to allow the plants to carry out all-weather photosynthesis and promote the growth of leaf buds. , please note that during the hot summer months, orange trees need to be shaded to prevent the plants from being sunburned.

3. Supplement water

In the process of maintaining orange trees, it is usually necessary to water them every 2-3 days to soak all the soil. In summer, the weather is dry and When the temperature is high, orange trees need to be watered every day and sprayed with water mist 2-3 times a day to increase the humidity of the plant's growing environment.

4. Apply nutrients

When the orange tree is in the seedling stage, it needs to be supplemented with fertilizer about three times a year to promote the growth of the plant. The fertilizer applied needs to be nitrogen fertilizer and Compound fertilizers, mainly organic fertilizers and supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, encourage orange trees to grow more branches and leaves.

5. Pruning of saplings

Saplings are trees that are designated to be between one and two years after planting. During this period, orange trees are not suitable for bearing fruit yet and should be completely nutrient-dense. For vegetative growth. When the new shoots of the sapling grow to a length of about five centimeters, the incipient branches that have neither flowers nor leaves should be cut off. This can reduce nutrient consumption and allow other strong branches to grow better. When leaving branches, leave three to four side branches for each main branch. You should preferably choose the strong ones to keep and cut off the thin branches. This will help cultivate strong fruit-bearing branches.
