Persimmon cultivation methods and precautions

Persimmon cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The temperature suitable for its growth is between 9 degrees and 23 degrees. The temperature when the fruit is ripe should be maintained between 19 degrees and 23 degrees. Persimmons at this temperature are not easy to fall off or get diseased, which can increase the yield.

2. Watering: It is relatively drought-resistant. If the annual rainfall is above 500 ml, it does not need additional irrigation. If it is a potted plant, it is generally watered once a week. The amount of water each time does not need to be too much, just ensure that the soil is completely moist.

3. Fertilization: It can tolerate barrenness, but it does not mean that it does not need fertilizer. Generally, fertilizer is applied once every two weeks during the growing season, and no fertilizer is needed during the non-growing season. Fertilization is needed once before winter to ensure that it can safely survive the winter.

4. Light: It likes to live in an environment with plenty of sunlight. If it is a plant maintained indoors, it can receive sunlight all day without human intervention. If it is a plant grown indoors, it needs to be kept in a sunny place, and the daily light time should not be less than eight hours.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: The propagation of persimmon trees generally adopts the method of grafting. First, use black dates as the rootstock. After the collected fruits are softened, rub off the pulp and leave the seeds for later use. In November, soak the rootstock seeds for 24 hours, then mix them with wet sand and place them in a cool, sheltered place. You can then sow them in the spring of the following year. The sowing depth should be kept at about three centimeters. Cover the ground with plastic film after sowing. Thinning and transplanting should be carried out in time after the plants emerge.

2. Pruning: It generally does not require pruning. After harvesting the fruits, it is sufficient to do some proper pruning, mainly focusing on dry, rotten and fruit-bearing branches.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: It is more susceptible to infection by the persimmon cotton scale. If found, it is necessary to spray it with diesel emulsion before the plant sprouts in spring. This will eliminate overwintering pests.

2. Disease: Leaf drop in plants is most likely caused by lack of water, especially when encountering drought. Be sure to replenish water to the plants in time, and water them once a week will be enough.

IV. Other issues

1. Eat it: It is edible, but the elderly and children should not eat too much, otherwise it will cause indigestion.

2. Toxicity: non-toxic.
