I. Schematic diagram of fig pruning in potted plants 1. Pruning time
If you want to prune the branches and buds of figs, you'd better choose early spring after first frost. At this time, the temperature has warmed, and fig trees have begun to sprout (some areas in the north are also pruned in summer). Proper pruning can promote its growth and increase the number of figs.
Step 2 prune the diseased branches
No matter what kind of plant pruning, the only constant is to cut off diseased branches, weak branches and those branches that have been damaged by pests. All these are reducing the burden on fig trees and distributing nutrients absorbed by weak branches to plants. In this way, fig trees will grow more vigorously if they have enough nutrients.
Step 3 leave the trunk
In the problem of how to prune potted figs, the most important thing to pay attention to is to leave the main branches, and cut the branches above the lush main branches to only the strongest 2 ~ 3, leaving only a new branch bud. Those with bad appearance and those crossed with normal branches and buds should also be cut off.
4. Pick the heart in summer
In summer, figs must be picked, and the leaves at the top of the branches and buds are removed, leaving only 6 leaves. Time is usually in August. This step is to control the growth of fig branches and promote the growth of fruits. But also can promote fig trees to have sufficient nutrients in winter, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
Second, fig cultivation steps 1, flowerpot selection
When figs are potted, we must pay attention to choosing a suitable flowerpot that grows well, preferably a slightly larger flowerpot with better air permeability and water permeability. Never choose a flowerpot with a drain hole at the bottom. If the water doesn't drain out, the fig tree will be drowned.
2. The soil is permeable
The planting environment of figs must be permeable, so the soil should be loose and fertile. It is best to choose fertile peat soil, humus soil and pearlite soil. When planting, remember to pad a slightly larger layer of stone at the bottom of the flowerpot to increase the gap and increase the drainage.
Step 3 water properly
Water the figs properly. Too much water will drown the fig tree. Water must be less in spring and autumn, and it can be watered once every 3 ~ 4 days. When figs are ripe in summer, they should be watered enough, once in the morning and once in the evening, to ensure the fruit growth. Water can be poured once a week in winter/kloc-0, and no water can accumulate in the flowerpot at any time.
4. Plenty of light
When figs grow, we must pay attention to adequate light. Sunlight will make fig trees grow more vigorously. A well-lit, ventilated and warm environment is the most suitable place for fig growth, and it should also be placed indoors in the sun in winter.
5, diligent fertilization
Figs require a lot of fertilizer, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can make figs grow better. In the spring growing season, fertilization must be done every 65,438+00 ~ 65,438+05 days. After the fruits are ripe and picked in autumn, appropriate topdressing is needed to make up for the lost nutrition and ensure a higher fruit setting rate in the coming year.
6. Keep warm in winter
Fig trees are not hardy, so don't put them outdoors in winter. The temperature of fig in winter must be controlled at about 65438 00℃. If the room temperature is below 5℃, the fig tree will stop growing. At this time, we should stop watering and keep the soil dry.
Conclusion: Through the above introduction, it must be clear to everyone how to prune potted figs. As long as you subtract the diseased branches and keep the main branches, you can make your figs grow vigorously.
