How to make pomegranate flowers bloom more

Repotting

Repotting should be done every 1 to 2 years. Seedlings should be moved to a larger pot to provide sufficient space for their growth, while old stumps can remain in the original pot. When repotting, remove half of the old soil, add new soil, and cut off the old roots or fibrous roots to promote the growth of new roots. Adding sufficient amount of decomposed fertilizer to the soil and increasing the content of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers will be more beneficial to flowering.

If the pot is not repotted for a long time, there will be more fibrous roots in the pot and less nutrients in the soil, resulting in fewer or even no flowers.

Fertilization

Pomegranate likes fertilizer more than ordinary flowers. In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer when repotting, pay attention to adding phosphorus fertilizer during the growing season. You can apply 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate several times. The fertilizer selected should preferably be liquid fertilizer, which is conducive to rapid absorption by the plant.

Lighting and watering

If you want the pomegranate to bloom more, you must ensure that it has sufficient sunlight and water during the bud formation period, but try to keep the soil in the pot dry. During the maintenance process, the leaves will appear slightly wilted. You can first place the pomegranate in a shaded place for about 30 minutes. After the temperature of the potting soil and the pomegranate plant has dropped, spray clean water on the leaves. After a while, water the pot again. Repeat this several times, and flower buds will appear in about 25 days.

pollination

If it is rainy during the flowering period, it will affect pollination. At this time, the pomegranate should be moved to a ventilated and sheltered place, and then placed in the sun after the weather clears up. Pomegranate flowers are divided into male and female. The front end of male flowers is larger, while the front end of female flowers is smaller. To increase the greenness of the fruits, artificial pollination can be done: gently tap the pistil a few times with a brush, and then gently tap the pistil a few times with a brush, repeat several times, to assist in pollination. The best time for pollination is in the morning. The hot weather at noon is not conducive to pollination.

Thinning

Pomegranates should be pruned once after leaf fall or before spring. If there are too many flower buds, some of them should be cut off in time. After fruiting, unnecessary fruits should be cut off according to the shape. A staggered layout can not only enhance the overall beauty but also promote fruiting.
