When will the pomegranate flower bloom (introduction to the flowering period of pomegranate flower)
Pomegranate usually blooms in May-June, belonging to late spring and early summer, and grows most vigorously in spring. What we need to do before flowering is to maintain the branches, leaves and roots.
Pomegranate is not strict with water and can withstand short-term drought, so it can be watered twice a week. You can choose some soil with good water permeability. If you water too much in spring, the branches and leaves will grow white, which will affect the fruit setting after flowering, and the epidermis will crack easily after the fruit matures. When the outdoor temperature rises gradually, the watering times can be appropriately increased.
Pomegranate is a typical light-loving plant and likes sunshine very much. The whole growing season needs plenty of sunshine. Potted pomegranates can be placed outdoors in spring, or in places where the balcony often has light. Insufficient sunshine will also affect the growth of plants, such as flowering and fruit setting.
Pomegranate needs reasonable pruning in spring. The pomegranate just planted can be trimmed according to the ornamental shape, and it does not need to be cut too heavily. Pomegranates that have been raised for three to four years can be roughly pruned before winter and further pruned after spring. Although the newly planted pomegranate can blossom and bear fruit in the same year, it must not be greedy. You can prune some fruit branches that affect the tree shape, but also to lay a good foundation for the mother plant first, so as to avoid excessive flowering and insufficient nutrition at one time. Branches and leaves that grow after flowering and fruiting can also be pruned to ensure that the fruit has enough nutrition.
Pomegranate can be fertilized regularly in spring. Pomegranate is barren-tolerant but fat-loving, so regular fertilization can also make pomegranate grow better. It is best to plant it in sandy soil, apply thin fertilizer frequently, give priority to phosphorus and potassium, and use less nitrogen fertilizer, because nitrogen fertilizer will make branches and leaves grow white. Fertilizer can be applied once before winter, and plants will grow faster and stronger next spring. Pomegranate can resist weak acid and alkali, so fertilizers such as rice washing water and oranges can also be used.
Pomegranate should also pay attention to windproof in spring, especially in the late spring flowering and fruit-setting period, especially in windy and rainy weather. The pomegranate just planted had better be moved indoors. If it's planted in the yard, it's better to cover it. If it's light, it will stumble, but if it's heavy, it will start all over again.
Pomegranate is easy to attract some pests and diseases after entering summer, so it needs to be prevented in time, moved to a well-ventilated place and sprayed with pesticides in time.
