The best time to plant sugar-coated fruit radish

The planting of sugar-coated fruit radishes is generally carried out in spring and autumn, specifically from mid-March to late April, or from early August to early October. This season is warm and the temperature is suitable for the growth of sugar-coated fruit radishes. If cultivated in a greenhouse, the time limit can be relaxed.

Planting methods and key points of rock sugar fruit radish

1. Soil selection: Sugar-coated fruit radish likes light and is not resistant to waterlogging. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a place with sufficient light and higher terrain for planting. The soil should be turned over half a month before sowing to ensure that the soil is loose and breathable.

2. Sowing method: Sugar-coated fruit radish is sown using the hole sowing method. Dig a small hole every 20 to 25 cm, put 2 to 3 seeds in each hole, cover with a thin layer of fine soil after sowing, and water thoroughly.

Tips for daily management of sugar-coated fruit radish

1. Thinning and transplanting: After the sugar-coated fruit radish has grown 5 to 6 true leaves, it can be transplanted. Be careful to remove the slow-growing seedlings, and only keep one healthy seedling in each hole for maintenance.

2. Post-management: Weeding should be carried out when the weather is ventilated and sunny to prevent the nutrients of the sugar-coated fruit radish from being absorbed by weeds. Nitrogen fertilizer and organic fertilizer should be added during the vigorous growth period of the sugar-coated fruit radish. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied in the later growth period to promote fruit enlargement.
