2, watering: kumquat like moist but avoid stagnant water, potting soil is too wet easy to rot. Therefore, it is good to keep the potting soil moderately moist during the reproductive period. Spring is dry and windy. Need to spray water on the leaf surface once a day to increase air humidity. In summer, spray water 2 to 3 times a day, and spray water to the ground. But avoid spraying water during the flowering period to prevent rotting flowers and affecting the results.
3, sunshine: kumquat likes sunny warm and humid climate, maintenance should be placed in a sunny place. If the light is insufficient, the environment is shaded, often causing branches and leaves to grow in vain, flowering and fruiting less. As kumquat summer like cool climate, or summer sunshine intensity, this time it is appropriate to put slightly in the shade is good. Winter room temperature to not freeze is appropriate. If the room temperature is too high, the plant is not fully dormant, the next year's growth is weak, easy to drop flowers and buds.
4, temperature: kumquat like warm and refreshing growth temperatures, late fall temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius should be moved indoors in a timely manner, the best room temperature in winter to maintain 6 to 12 degrees Celsius, the temperature is too low to suffer from freezing, too high will affect the plant dormancy, not conducive to the next year's blossoms and fruits.
5, fertilization: potted kumquat requires proper water and fertilizer management, when the branches are long enough to apply a fast-acting phosphorus fertilizer, such as calcium superphosphate, anti-branching, to promote the differentiation of flower buds and blossoms and fruits.
6, pruning: pruning is an important technical measure to make kumquat flowers and fruitful. In order to make the tree shape beautiful, more results, in the spring before the buds sprout, cut off part of the previous year's branches, the strong stay 2 ~ 3 buds, each plant to stay 3 branches pruned 1 year old branches, is conducive to the spring sprouting, to be the new shoots grow to 15 ~ 20 cm when the heart, so that the branches full.
7, pests: kumquat branches and leaves are often harmed by shellfish, red spider, phoenix disc larvae, etc., in which shellfish damage is more common, the occurrence of the period of April-May, can be sprayed with acetamiprid 1,000 times the liquid solution of agents; can also be used to brush the pests with a small brush.
