Longan potted planting method

The longan potted plant needs to be repotted once a year. Usually, loosen the soil in the pot properly every month and a half, bury a small amount of compound fertilizer in April and May, and apply compound fertilizer again in August and September. Note that it is best not to expose it to the sun at noon in summer.

How to grow longan in a pot

1. Seed treatment:

First, clean the longan seeds. If they are not washed thoroughly, they will easily rot. After washing, soak them in water for a few days to accelerate germination. Slowly, you can see the seeds open and small sprouts emerge.

2. Planting:

Choose a flowerpot of appropriate size and fertile and loose soil with good drainage. You can choose granular soil, then dig a small hole and put the germinated seeds in. When putting them in, make sure the buds are facing upwards and don't put them upside down. Then cover them with a thin layer of soil and spray water once a day.

3. Water and light;

After germination, the seeds germinate very quickly. After about eight or nine days, you can see small sprouts growing out of the soil. Note that the small sprouts at this time are very fragile, so be careful when watering to avoid damaging the seedlings.

Longan potted planting method

1. Prepare potting soil:

When planting longan in small potted plants, it is most appropriate to use humus soil, garden soil and a small amount of sandy loam. Such soil has a loose and porous structure and good air permeability and drainage capabilities. It is also slightly acidic and has basic fertility.

2. Processing seeds:

First peel off the skin and flesh and take out the core, then clean the flesh and residual white tissue on the top of the core to prevent it from rotting, then soak it in clean water and wait until the core cracks in about 4-6 days before use.

3. Planting method:

Turn over the prepared soil and spray some disinfectant on it to kill the germs. Place the fruit cores that have been soaked and cracked on the surface of the soil, arrange them closely together, preferably without leaving any gaps, and then cover them with a thin layer of soil.

Key points for potted longan maintenance

1. Watering:

Do not water longan too frequently during the maintenance process, just keep the soil slightly moist. Water it every 5 to 7 days in spring and autumn, every 1 to 3 days in summer, and control the amount of water in winter, watering it every 15 days or so.

2. Fertilization:

When caring for potted longan, you need to control the amount of fertilizer each time. Spring and autumn are the seasons when longan grows most vigorously. You can apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once every month. Longan will be in a dormant period in summer and winter, so there is no need to fertilize potted longan.
