1. Plenty of sunshine Pomegranate is a positive plant and likes to grow in plenty of sunshine. If the sunshine is insufficient, the branches will grow white, the flowers will decrease, the colors will not be bright, and it is not easy to bear fruit.
Rizhao suggestion: when we plant pomegranate in the courtyard, we need to plant it in a place with plenty of sunshine, so that pomegranate not only grows well, but also has many fruits, which are red and sweet. Potted pomegranate also needs to keep enough light, which is beneficial to pomegranate fruit setting and growth.
2. Pomegranate trees need proper fertilization when they grow. However, if nitrogen fertilizer is applied to pomegranate, it is not conducive to the formation of pomegranate flowers, resulting in reduced flowering. There will be a decrease in fruit. So how do we fertilize pomegranate?
Fertilization management: Generally, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied once after germination in spring, which can promote pomegranate growth and facilitate flower bud differentiation. When pomegranate sprouts, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied to promote flowering. For example, fertilizer with high phosphorus and potassium fertilizer such as Huaduoduo 2 can be used to promote pomegranate flowering and fruit setting.
After pomegranate bears fruit, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ternary fertilizer can be applied, which can promote pomegranate growth and make the fruit very sweet. Before freezing in autumn and winter, burying decomposed manure once and watering once can make pomegranate grow well in the coming year, and can also play a role in cold resistance and promote pomegranate flower bud differentiation in the coming year.
3. Enhance pollination ability. Pomegranate can't blossom and bear fruit, which is related to poor pollination. In order to make pomegranate bear more fruits and grow branches, we need to pollinate pomegranate trees when they bloom. So how to help pomegranate pollinate?
Pollination suggestion: If it is a potted pomegranate, we can pick some male flowers during the pomegranate flowering period, and then let its stamens and female flowers pollinate. So what is a male flower? What is a female flower? The male flower of pomegranate is thin, and this flower feels like a gourd. Pomegranate planted in the yard can also be pollinated in this way, but if the pomegranate tree is big, it needs a simpler method.
We can buy some anti-falling agents, mix them with water and spray them on pomegranate to promote pomegranate fruit setting. This method has been used on jujube trees or tomatoes, and the effect is still good.
4. Prune the pomegranate tree. We say pomegranate likes a ventilated and light-transmitting environment. If the ventilation is not good, it will affect the formation of pomegranate flowers and the later pollination. In addition, if there are too many overgrown branches and too many weak branches, it will consume the nutrition of pomegranate trees, resulting in less flowering and low fruit setting rate.
Pruning suggestion: In order to make pomegranate full of branches and fruits, pomegranate can be pruned properly, that is, germination can be accelerated properly in spring, and dry and weak branches can be cut off at the same time. Shortening overgrown branches can promote pomegranate flowering and fruit setting.
Also, if pomegranate can't bear fruit, we can girdle pomegranate trees from May to July. That is to say, use a sharp knife to remove the bark about 3 cm from the pomegranate tree trunk, about 10~20cm from the ground, and the depth is better to remove the bark outside. Then wrap the wound with plastic film. This can play a role in promoting pomegranate fruit setting. This method is because pomegranate trees grow too strong, which makes it difficult for pomegranate to blossom and bear fruit. This method is not recommended if the pomegranate tree is too weak.
What if pomegranate trees can't sit still? As long as the above four points are done well, it is not difficult to make pomegranate hang all over the branches. What else do you know about pomegranate not bearing fruit? Welcome flower friends to leave comments.
