Can loquat be grown in pots?

Loquats can be grown in pots, but if the potted loquats do not receive enough light, their yield will be affected. Therefore, it is best to plant them in the ground when caring for them, so that they can get more light for a longer period of time.

Potted loquats require a relatively large flowerpot, generally a flowerpot with a diameter of 30 cm. During the maintenance period, they need to be exposed to more sunlight and watered in time to ensure that they can bear fruit.

Loquat potted cultivation method

1. Soil preparation

Potted loquats are not very demanding on the soil, but the soil must have drainage capabilities, otherwise too much watering during maintenance will cause water accumulation at the roots.

2. Pruning

Loquat needs to be pruned regularly during its growth period, because this can ensure that it has a more beautiful and neat appearance when it grows up, and after pruning it can also promote the rapid growth of the remaining branches.

3. Watering

Generally, the watering time should be determined according to the season. In spring and autumn, you can water it once every ten days. If the temperature is low in winter, you don’t need to water it at this time. In summer, it is very short of water, so you need to water it once a week.

4. Fertilization

Generally, loquats need to be fertilized when they grow. It is best to apply some compound fertilizer to them, so that the loquats can absorb it better and grow faster and better.
