Light and temperature

Water and fertilizer management

It is not suitable to be planted in heavy saline-alkali land and sandy land. Water should be applied immediately after planting, and timely and appropriate watering should also be applied during flowering and fruiting. During the growing season, it is recommended to apply nitrogen fertilizer before flowering and potassium fertilizer when the fruit is expanding to promote growth. In addition, canned water should be used in conjunction with fertilization during the fruit expansion period. Remember to stop watering half a month before fruit picking. Water twice after picking, once in combination with fertilization, and the other time with frozen water.
