Will Holly bear fruit in the second year? (Does Holly bear fruit in different years?)

Holly is a very popular potted plant during the Chinese New Year. Most families will keep one potted plant, which means that life will be more prosperous. It is very popular among people, so the price is naturally higher. Flower lovers should also make a reasonable choice.

Will Holly bear fruit in the second year?

Holly generally starts to bear fruit 3 years after planting . If it is well cared for, the first-year seedlings can also bear fruit, and the second-year seedlings can also bear fruit. In addition, the first year of Holly is the nutrient branch, and the second year is the fruiting branch, which means that the cutting can be done every two years. The cut fruiting branches can be placed in a vase, which has a high ornamental value.

In addition, the American holly will bear fruit in the second year . The American holly is dioecious and is pollinated by different flowers. Therefore, if you buy a pot of American holly that has already borne fruit, it will not bear fruit in the second year. Therefore, if you want it to bear fruit in the second year, you need to grow both male and female plants .

How to care for holly so it can bloom and bear fruit

There is not much difference between potted American holly and other green plants. During the maintenance process, we only need to pay attention to watering, fertilizing and light.

① Humid growth environment

First of all, the North American holly prefers a moist growing environment. Therefore, during the maintenance process, we must pay attention to reasonable watering. There is no need to water too much. We can put our fingers into the pot soil.

If you feel the soil in the pot is dry, you can water it, and pay attention to watering along the edge of the pot. Don't water its roots, otherwise it is easy to cause root rot.

② Fertilization

The second is fertilization. After all, the American holly is a plant that grows in winter. It does not have a dormant period like other plants, so it does not need to be fertilized in winter. The American holly is an exception. During the maintenance process, some phosphorus fertilizer needs to be applied to promote the flowering and fruiting of the American holly .

③Sufficient sunlight

Generally, we like to put Holly on both sides of the TV cabinet for viewing. In fact, this is wrong. Holly also needs additional light . It is best to put it in a sunny place like the balcony. It can promote the plant to form nutrients through photosynthesis, so that the plant can thrive.

④Hard-resistant to winter

North American holly is very cold-resistant. After all, it is a plant that grows in the winter and can withstand temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius. Of course, it should not be kept at minus 20 degrees Celsius for a long time to avoid frost damage. Once the plant is frozen, it is difficult for it to survive.
