The leftover fruits are scattered in a basin. It produces 99 fruits a year, and your hands will be sore from picking them!

passion fruit

It is very simple to grow passion fruit on the balcony. As long as you buy a passion fruit and don’t throw away the seeds after eating it, you can harvest a lot of fruit!  

1. Seed selection

When buying passion fruit, pick a few that are large, ripe, and look healthy, because the seeds are more mature and have a higher germination rate. After returning home, take out the seeds, wash them, and dry them for later use.

2. Germination

Soak the prepared seeds in clean water for 24 hours to further increase the germination rate. Then prepare a paper towel, soak it in water and spread the seeds evenly on it. Then put it in a transparent box and seal it with a plastic bag.

3. Planting seeds

When small white sprouts emerge from the seeds, they can be sown. Place the seeds evenly on the soil, then cover them with some sand and water them thoroughly so that the seeds can germinate quickly.

4. Thinning

Sometimes, because the germination rate is too high, the buds are densely packed, which is really a sweet trouble. However, we should be ruthless and only leave one or two trees. Otherwise, due to lack of air circulation and too little nutrients, all the seedlings will not grow tall. The selected ones can be transplanted into other pots individually.

5. Topping

Soon, our passion fruit grew very high and almost climbed up the stairs. At this time, we have to hit the top. The purpose of topping is to promote the growth of side buds, so that there will be more branches and more passion fruits will be grafted!

6. Flowering

Daily maintenance:

Getting more sun exposure is beneficial to the accumulation of sugar. When it is not raining and not cloudy. Be sure to water it frequently, once every other day in the evening. It is best to use a large and deep pot, so that the passion fruit's roots will be strong and able to absorb more nutrients, and you will be able to produce more fruits!

Fig

Figs are not only sweet and nutritious, but also have beautifully shaped leaves, which look great when planted on the balcony. Huahua especially likes figs. Ah, I’m drooling just thinking about it now!

1. Cutting selection

When choosing cuttings, be sure to choose mature, strong branches, about 20 cm in length, with 3 to 5 buds to facilitate subsequent germination. The picture below shows the bud point. Huahua will enlarge it for you.

2. Clean and promote root

Pinch off all the leaves on the branches, otherwise it will waste the moisture in the branches. Insert the bottom of the branch into the rooting water solution and soak it for about 8 minutes.

3. Soil selection

It is best to use river sand that has been exposed to the sun and washed, which is cleaner and can prevent bacteria from contaminating the roots.

4. Planting cuttings

Prepare a transparent bottle, fill it with river sand, water it thoroughly, insert the cuttings into it, press the river sand a little more firmly, and place it in a ventilated and diffused light location. When you can see roots growing through the transparent container, you can transplant it into a flowerpot.

Daily maintenance:

Fig leaves are large and wide. If you find that the leaves are a little wilted, water them immediately to avoid lack of water. Remember to expose them to more sunlight in the morning and after 4 pm. Provide appropriate shade at noon.

pitaya

When growing dragon fruit on the balcony, we usually use the cutting method.

1. Choose cuttings

Prepare a sharp knife with a clean blade. Cut about 25cm-30cm long cuttings from the mother dragon fruit plant as cuttings, and then cut the bottom of the cuttings diagonally to expose the wood core in the middle, about 1cm long.

2. Sterilize cuttings

Prepare a solution of carbendazim, soak the cuttings in it for 10 minutes, then take them out and place them in a ventilated place to dry for about 5 days.

3. Planting cuttings

Mix vermiculite and garden soil in a ratio of 1:3, put it in a flowerpot, water it thoroughly, and insert the prepared cuttings.

4. Slow down the growth of seedlings

Place the newly transplanted dragon fruit in a place with scattered light and good ventilation, such as a corner. Note that the plants cannot come into contact with water for one month after transplanting.

5. Flowering

Daily maintenance:

After the cuttings have almost taken root, you can expose the dragon fruit to the sun. The more sunlight there is, the more dragon fruit flowers will bloom and the more fruits will be produced.

Pomegranate

Pomegranates take root quickly and are easy to grow. Many flower lovers who have pomegranate trees at home will choose high-altitude layering. But today, considering that some flower lovers do not have pomegranate trees at home, Huahua will introduce the cutting method!

1. Prepare the cuttings

Do not choose cuttings that are too thin, because their absorption capacity is relatively poor, and do not choose cuttings that are too thick, because they take too long to heal and soaking in water can easily lead to root rot. It is best to have a thickness similar to the one shown below.

2. Disinfection and root promotion

First, remove all the large leaves on the branches, and then soak them in a solution of carbendazim for about 10 minutes. This is to disinfect the cut surface to promote subsequent healing and rooting.

3. Hydroponic rooting

After soaking in too much fungicide, you can insert the branches into the water for hydroponics. Be sure to place it in a well-ventilated location, and it will grow fine white roots in about 2 or 3 weeks.

4. Transplantation

After taking root, when 3 or 4 leaves grow, you can transplant it into a flowerpot. Look, new sprouts have sprouted!

5. Flowering

Daily maintenance:

Pomegranate is a sun-loving plant. Once it grows to maturity, it is not afraid of the sun in summer. As for water, water it once every three days.

blueberry

Blueberries can be layered from high altitudes. If any of your relatives or friends have blueberry plants at home, you can go and get one.

1. The first step is to cut the skin. Follow the method in the picture below to cut off a small piece of skin.

2. Then use a knife to scrape it to form burrs, but don't scrape too hard, just scrape to the extent shown in the picture below.

3. Prepare a piece of plastic wrap, spread it flat on the ground, put some peat and a small amount of rooting powder, stir evenly, and spray it with a spray bottle.

4. Wrap the plastic wrap containing peat around the circumcision site and wrap it tightly.

5. Wait for about a month, and when you untie it, you will find that roots have taken root inside. Then you can cut it from under the bump and transplant it into a flowerpot!

Daily maintenance:

Blueberries are not afraid of high temperatures and can be placed on the balcony in the sun. Water thoroughly once every evening and apply some cake fertilizer every month.
