Custard apple cultivation methods and precautions

Custard apple cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is a heat-loving plant and will not grow well in a low temperature environment. The most suitable temperature for its growth is around 28 degrees, and the extreme low temperature is 15 degrees. If the maintenance temperature is lower than 15 degrees, the plant will show unhealthy conditions such as leaf drop and stop growing. Controlling the maintenance temperature between 25 and 30 degrees can effectively promote fruit development and increase yield.

2. Watering: Its demand for water is rather strange. It likes moisture but is afraid of water. If the water in the potting soil exceeds the standard, the plant will experience root rot, leaf and flower fall, etc. If it lacks water during the growth period, it will cause it to stop growing. Therefore, you need to be very careful when watering. Observe the condition of the soil every time you water. Watering is only needed when the soil is completely dry. The amount of water should not be too much each time. Just water until the soil is completely moist.

3. Fertilization: It has a relatively large demand for nutrients and generally needs to be fertilized once every half a month. It is best to choose weather with a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees each time to avoid fertilizer damage.

4. Light: Because it is a tropical plant, it has a relatively large demand for light. Adequate light can increase its accumulation of nutrients, which is good for its growth. If it is maintained in the open air, it can receive full-day sunlight. If it is maintained indoors, it is best to place it in a place with sufficient light.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by seedling method. This method generally uses strong, pest-free seeds for propagation. First, disinfect the seeds, then place them in moist soil (no need to bury them too deep), then water them thoroughly and wait for them to germinate. The time for the seedling method is generally chosen in spring because the climate is relatively stable at this time, which is suitable for seed development.

2. Pruning: Generally, it does not require pruning. You only need to prune off the dry and rotten branches after it blooms and bears fruit.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Root rot: As the name suggests, root rot is the rot of the roots of the plant. There are many causes of root rot. If you find that it is infected, you need to clean the rotten part in time, then spray a high concentration of fungicide and whitewash the branches and trunks of the plant.

2. Yellowing of branches and leaves: The branches and leaves of the plant turn yellow. Most of the time it is caused by improper watering. The growth of the plant requires reasonable watering. Generally, watering two to three times a week is sufficient.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Non-toxic, edible.

2. Other functions: It can resist oxidation and delay skin aging.
