Planting methods and management techniques of Zanthoxylum bungeanum potted plants

Sichuan pepper is an indispensable condiment in life, which brings a lot of stimulation to the taste buds. It is a relatively famous condiment in the condiment world.

In fact, it is also very simple to grow pepper trees in pots. Usually in spring or autumn, sow the seeds in loose and fertile soil, water them on time to keep the soil moist, and fertilize them regularly to ensure adequate nutrition. In this way, you can basically grow them very well.

How to plant a potted pepper tree

1. Seed germination and sowing

The shell of Sichuan pepper seeds is relatively hard, so they need to be defatted before germination. Sowing is generally divided into autumn sowing and spring sowing. Most sowing of Sichuan pepper is done in autumn because spring is a relatively dry season and there is relatively less moisture in the soil, so autumn is the best time.

Before sowing, the soil should be deeply plowed and exposed to the sun before fertilizer is sprinkled. The main purpose of this is to make the land more loose and fertile. The debris in the soil should also be removed. After removal, sowing can be done.

2. Water and fertilizer management

During the growth period of the pepper tree, fertilizer and water management is crucial. Fertilizer and water are the important basis for ensuring the normal growth of the pepper tree. It is best to water it during the three stages of wintering, budding and fruit growth. Fully cooperate with fertilization and watering, and water according to the actual growth conditions. Do not overwater.

Precautions for the maintenance of pepper trees

Sichuan pepper is a plant that loves light and has very strong growth potential, so great attention should be paid to its shaping and pruning. Pruning can be done in summer or in autumn.

When pruning, only keep 3 to 5 main branches for each plant, then remove the extra branches at the base, and finally remove the central branches. In order to ensure that the pepper tree can be fully bathed in sunlight, the dense branches must also be pruned to ensure light transmittance.
