Custard Apple Potted Planting Method

1. Soil preparation

The sugar apple tree has a strong ability to adapt to soil and can grow and develop normally in almost any soil. However, it is different when cultivated artificially. The planting soil should be sandy soil with strong permeability.

2. Pruning

The plants need to be pruned every year, in winter and summer respectively. Pruning the plants in summer can make them more beautiful, while pruning the branches in winter can prevent the leaves of the plants from falling off due to the arrival of the season.

3. Watering

The sugar-apple has a very strange demand for water. It needs water but is afraid of water. If it is exposed to too much water for more than 4 days, the growth of the sugar-apple will be affected to a certain extent. Therefore, during the planting process, it is necessary to ensure sufficient water, and the water will not affect the growth of the sugar-apple.

4. Fertilization

There is a specific time to fertilize this type of plant. The first time to fertilize the plant is after pruning the branches in winter; the second time to fertilize the plant is in summer when the flowers of the plant have withered and just borne fruit but the fruit has not yet grown; the last time to fertilize the plant is in winter when the fruit has not yet grown.

5. Lighting

During the growth process of sugar-apple, it is necessary to ensure that the sugar-apple has sufficient light time and intensity. If the light needs of the sugar-apple are not met, the growth of the plant will be hindered and the photosynthesis of the sugar-apple will be affected.
