Fertilizer should be applied after germination of potted Pomegranate flowers. Generally, dilute organic fertilizer liquid should be applied. Apply 0.2 {BF} urea solution once every 10 days and twice from May to June.In the later period of fruit growth, two times of 0.3 {BF} potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution should be applied in addition to organic fertilizer. In the growing period, we should pay attention to the weather conditions. When the temperature is high, the weather is sunny, the basin soil after drying timely watering. Flowering watering should be careful not to pour on the flowers, so as not to affect fruit setting, in addition to rainy flowering should take shelter measures.

Watering care

In summer, water is generally 1 time a day, and in late autumn water can be poured 1 time a day. Potted Pomegranate flowers in the flowering and bearing period to strictly control watering, avoid by all means to see the basin soil surface dry immediately watering. We might as well wait for its branches and leaves slightly wilting, then watering is not late, and pouring must be watered through. If the basin soil is too dry, easy to cause falling buds, dried fruit and fruit drop; The basin soil is too wet, although sometimes does not affect the growth of the plant, but also easy to appear the phenomenon of falling bud and cracking fruit.

Separate plant, can be in early spring in April bud initiation, dig robust root tiller seedling points. Slathe, spring, autumn can be carried out, do not have to cut injury, before bud initiation with root part tillering pressure into the soil, after the summer rooting cut from the mother plant, autumn is into seedlings.

Disease and insect control: Mainly leaf blight and gray mold, and can be used 70 {BF} methyl tobutin wettable powder 1000 times liquid spray. Insect pests include moths, scale insects and aphids. Use 55 {bf} to kill borer pine emulsion 1000 times liquid spray.
