Planting
Pomegranate can be planted all year round, but the best in early spring and fall. However, there is a slight difference between the north and south, north spring and south fall, the appropriate time to plant, more conducive to the growth of pomegranate.
Planting pomegranate generally choose the root system is complete, the bud eye full of high-quality seedlings, choose a deeper pot of clay, deep planting, apply a certain amount of basal fertilizer, placed in the sun care.
Water and fertilizer management
The pomegranate is drought-resistant but not flood-resistant, so in the usual maintenance, we should pay attention to timely drainage, to prevent overwatering caused by poor plant growth. Of course, in the budding period, fruit expansion period and before leaf fall, these three periods should pay attention to watering to ensure that the soil is moist and not waterlogged.
Just planted the year need additional fertilizer, add appropriate amount of urea in the fertilizer with. Fertilizer is also needed before the fall of the leaves in autumn, usually by digging a pit next to the plant and burying it deep, potting fertilizer, so that the fertilizer is away from the rhizome, so as not to burn the roots. Fertilizer is also needed at the peak season to promote full fruit. In addition, the growing season should be based on the plant's growth in a timely manner fertilizer, Li nitrogen fertilizer-based, timely increase in phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.
Ensure sunshine
Pomegranate is a kind of positive plant, before people have discovered the beauty of pomegranate, pomegranate flowers have been wind and rain, sunshine and rain, but also grow very well. So, for pomegranate potted plants at home, make sure you get enough sunlight, and even strong light doesn't matter as long as you don't run out of water.
Plastic pruning
The principle of pomegranate pruning is: tangible not dead, intangible do not know chaos. So in pruning, according to the growth space of each branch, the branch with enough growth space, let it continue to grow, and the growth of the denser can be pruned off.
Breeding notes:
Thinning flowers and fruits
Pomegranate flowers are relatively large, from May onwards can be a long time to bloom, since the pomegranate flower must be eaten pomegranate. So in in the pomegranate flowering, timely cut off the small flowers, which can ensure that the result of the fruit is large and good quality.
Flowering ring peeling
Generally in early May for ring peeling, has a temporary blockage of photosynthesis organic nutrients transported downward, can improve the rate of fruiting.
pomegranate flower breeding methods and precautions Part 2Spring
Spring temperature rose to 10 ℃, the pomegranate moved to outdoor maintenance (or open balcony), strengthen the management of water and fertilizer, half a year is a fertilizer, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium multi-element composite fertilizer, do not single application of a kind of fertilizer, otherwise it will lead to the prolongation of the branch is not conducive to the growth of the branch.
Watering should be dry and wet, watering should be watered through, because the pomegranate bonsai potting soil is deeper, it is difficult to one-time watering, conditions can be used to soak the pot method of watering, the entire potted plant into the pool, so that the water slowly soaked the potting soil. But can not often use the soaking method, once in January is good, the other time normal watering.
Summer
Pomegranate flowering in May, this time. Management is very important, before flowering, we should pay attention to increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, reduce the content of nitrogen fertilizer, and promote the differentiation of flower buds. Cut off part of the flowers when flowering, retain the large flowers, and remove the flowers and flower stalks connected to the "triangle" thing, this part is not fruit, to a certain period will automatically fall off, consume nutrients.
The flowering and fruiting period to suspend fertilization, and so after the results to strengthen water and fertilizer management, to promote the growth of pomegranate fruit.
Autumn
Autumn is the best time to enjoy the pomegranate, but after the removal of pomegranate should pay attention to fertilization, can be more phosphorus and potash fertilizer, and less or no nitrogen fertilizer, to prevent the plant grows a long branch, not conducive to the next year's results. In the leaf drop after the long branches, disease branches, overlapping branches, weak branches cut off, and then gradually reduce water and fertilizer as the temperature decreases, ready to go indoors for the winter.
Winter
Pomegranate hibernation in winter, if the hibernation is not sufficient, it will affect the flowering of pomegranate in the following year. Most families will move the pomegranate to a warm place with heating or air conditioning indoors before winter, which is actually not conducive to pomegranate hibernation. The best overwintering temperature for pomegranate in pots is -2 to -5℃, below -10℃ will freeze. If the temperature is higher than 5 ℃, is not conducive to its full dormancy.
The time to enter the room in winter also needs attention, and entering the room too early will also affect growth. Should be in the winter temperature drop to -5 ℃ before entering the room, placed in a low temperature environment not higher than 0-2 ℃, control watering, can be watered once a month.

Pruning principles
Pomegranate pruning needs to follow certain principles, and strive to tangible not dead and intangible not chaotic, so that it is not sparse on the bottom of the dense, sparse outside and inside the dense, to ensure that the canopy of the internal light enough.
The winter pruning of pomegranate is easy to prune mainly thinning, do not disturb the shape of the tree. Excess branches need to be cut during growth.
The pomegranate flower is mainly shaped when it is planted for about 3 years. In order to promote flowering and fruiting, it is also necessary to prune appropriately.
Modeling pruning
There are two main shapes in modeling pruning of pomegranate, namely, V-shape and natural open-ended shape.
The V-shape is available with and without the main trunk. In the main trunk of the pomegranate tree to leave two main branches, the main branch in the main branch to leave two lateral branches, the distribution of the main lateral branches to have a certain angle and distance, and need to cooperate with the fruiting branches to organize, to maintain the main branch of the smooth. In the pomegranate tree planting 3 years only, you can carry out winter pruning, the main branch for short cutting.
Natural happy shape, mainly to make the pomegranate flowers appear natural form, in the trunk to retain 3 - 4 different positions of the branch as the main branch, the main branch in the retention of lateral branches. Generally, the whole tree retains 8 only lateral branches can be.
Pruning at each stage of growth
When pruning young pomegranate trees, the natural shape of the plant is the main focus, the pomegranate plant will retain 3 to 5 main branches of the trunk, pruning to slow down the trend, the tree shape appears natural form can be.
The fruiting tree pruning of pomegranate flower can be based on the shape of the tree to cut off the pomegranate flower's dense branches and dry branches, longer branches should be short cut, retaining more than 2 buds.
Pomegranate flower pruning in winter should pay attention to maintain the balance of branches, cut off some branches that affect growth.
