ULOG #1 Plant Lime In Pot Media
Hello friend steemit, I started this post by greeting all of you, how are you today? hopefully always healthy.
This time I was @myart, visited my uncle's house and by chance my uncle was working on something behind his house, and after I approached my uncle was choosing the lime fruit he planted behind the house with pot media. I was interested in uncle's activities and I asked a little about how to plant this orange, I took the initiative to post this activity in my first post on #ULOG.
Hopefully it can be useful with us sharing.
Let's discuss from the beginning how to plant this lime in pot media.
Choose Seeds
Select the lime seeds from the grafting result so that growth is faster and fruiting faster. Seedlings can be obtained around mobile seedling or plant breeders.
Move the seedlings
- Prepare a pot with a diameter of 20-40 cm for small seedlings and a pot with a diameter of 50-60 cm for the seedling size
- Fragments of red bricks or tiles are inserted into the bottom of the pot and the top is covered with humus.
- Enter the planting medium in the form of a mixture of soil, sand, and manure in a ratio of 1: 1: 1 to a height of half of its height
- Planting media seedlings watered until the patted the bottom position of the polybag is reversed so that the seeds come out together with the planting medium and roots.
- Leaves, twigs and branches that are considered unnecessary should only be trimmed to reduce the occurrence
- The seed is erectly placed in the middle of the pot and piled until the height is approximately 2 cm from the pot with the rest of the planting medium.
- Get the planting media up
- Place the lime Tabulampot placed in the open.
- Place tabulampot regularly and lined up with a distance of 2 × 2 mtr if it has more than 1
Sprinkling
Apply the planting media around the stem once every 2-3 days. Try not to hit the tree trunk when watering it.
Fertilization
When fertilizing trees are more than 5 months old, do it every 3-4 months with TSP, KCl, and Urea fertilizer with a ratio of 1: 2: 2. The fertilizer mixture is 2 tablespoons sprinkled around the pot as deep as 10 cm.
Give NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer as much as 1 tablespoon per tree if the plants have started flowering. Fertilizer is dissolved first in 1 liter of water before being given.
Pruning
Trim the branches or branches that stick up to bear fruit faster.
Media Replacement
Replace planting media once every two years to maintain the nutritional needs of plants with the composition of one third of the part using the initial planting media and the rest is filled by new media.
Accelerate Flowering
Stressing the water for 4-6 weeks by 7 days the plants are not watered then for 3 days watered little by little then for 1 week dried again.
Fruit Selection
Select the fruit that grows close together. Leave only 1-3 pieces in one stalk when the fruit is as big as the size marbles.
Thus the way of cultivating lime tabulampot has been presented to you.
