In addition, the growth of wax apple requires a lot of water and fertilizer. Generally, except for the period of shoot control and flower bud differentiation before catalysis, the soil should be kept moist to meet the normal growth of wax apple. In addition, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied in the early stage, and not too much nitrogen fertilizer should be applied during flower bud differentiation.
