How to cultivate bergamot

1, Soil: The best cultivation effect is to use loose, fertile and well-drained acid soil.

2, watering: spray humidification in dry season, timely drainage in rainy season, watering after flowering should not be too wet, otherwise it is easy to drop flowers and fruits.

3. Fertilization: Sufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied in the fruit period.

4. Pruning: bergamot blooms many times a year and can bear fruit. Fruits bearing fruit in April are not resistant to storage, and there are many residual fruits. Therefore, all the fruits that bear fruit during this period should be picked, and the fruits that bear fruit after May should be managed.

Generally speaking, when the fruit is as big as a jade, the fruit is thinned for the first time, 6~8 pieces are selected to stay and the rest are removed. The lateral buds and terminal buds on the fruit branches should be wiped off, leaving only leaves;

When growing to the size of grapes, the fruit should be sparse 1 times, leaving 4-5 larger young fruits (generally only one fruit branch), and adding phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

Precautions for potted plants?

1, promote the vegetative growth of seedlings and make them grow into plants as soon as possible. When changing pots in the spring of the second and third years, cake fertilizer, hoof pieces and bone meal were applied as base fertilizer at the same time.

2, bergamot likes acidic soil, and the pH value should be kept at 5.3; The proportion of basin soil is humus 60%, river sand 30%, peat soil or furnace ash slag 10%. Topdressing can be done every ten days and a half months 1 time. Roots are easy to rot when the water is big, so water the soil as much as possible. The surface of the basin soil is not watered, but watered once, all year round. ?

3. The most suitable humidity for bergamot is 70%-90%. Therefore, in the dry season, water should be sprayed on the leaves 1-2 times a day, or on the ground to increase the air humidity. The suitable temperature of bergamot is 15-30℃. In high temperature season, it should be moved to a cool, ventilated and shady place. When the temperature is lower than 5℃, attention should be paid to cold protection.
