How to cultivate Red Fuji

1. Soil

Red Fuji prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil, and is suitable for growing in sandy soil with deep soil layer, rich in organic matter and good drainage.

2. Lighting

It likes light, and insufficient light will directly reduce photosynthesis and nutrition of the tree, affecting the nutritional content of the fruit. However, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, as this may easily cause burns to the fruit and branches. It is recommended to choose a good terrain before planting. It is best to maintain it in a well-ventilated and sunny place. At the same time, the leaf curtain layer also needs to be adjusted.

3. Temperature

It likes a low temperature environment and is suitable for growing in places where there is no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer. The most suitable temperature for its growth throughout the year is 9-14℃, and the temperature in winter should not be lower than -12℃ to avoid frost damage. The temperature should not exceed 20℃ in summer.

4. Watering

It likes a dry environment and needs sufficient water during the growing period to grow and develop normally. The amount of water used for watering mainly comes from rainwater. If the rainfall is too heavy and the humidity is too high, it will lead to dense branches and leaves and many diseases and pests, so drainage measures need to be taken during the rainy season.

5. Fertilizer

It likes fertilizer, especially phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and requires less nitrogen fertilizer. During the fruiting period, fertilize according to the ratio of nitrogen:phosphorus:potassium = 1:1:1.5. During the fruit expansion period, nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied exclusively. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added to ensure its normal growth.
