Mandarin orange cultivation methods and planting techniques

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: The suitable soil environment for the growth of mandarin oranges is neutral soil, and sandy soil containing a variety of humus is the best. You can mix garden soil, grass ash soil, etc., and be sure to disinfect the soil before use.

2. Temperature: It likes a warm growing environment. When the temperature is below ten degrees, it should be moved indoors. The temperature in winter is best controlled at around six to twelve degrees. This environment is the best, otherwise it will affect the results.

3. Light: Tangerine is a light-loving plant. When caring for it, make sure to place it in a sunny place. It is best to place it in a ventilated place such as a balcony. If the sun is too strong in summer, you can put it in a cool place to block the sun.

4. Water: Watering should be done every day during the growing season, which can be done at 10 am and 4 pm. Water once a day in summer. If the soil feels dry, supplement it appropriately. Water once a day in spring and autumn, and reduce the frequency of watering in winter.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Wintering: The temperature in winter should be controlled between six and twelve degrees. Too low a temperature will cause it to suffer from frost damage, and too high a temperature will affect dormancy. In winter, as long as there is no frost damage, it is generally sufficient to let the plants overwinter outdoors.

2. Repotting: Every two or three years, the plant should be repotted and new soil should be replaced. After pouring out the soil, cut off the old roots that are 2 to 3 cm thick around the pot soil. Mix organic fertilizer and nutrient soil evenly and fill the bottom, then add fertile soil around it and water it thoroughly.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Disease: Huanglongbing is a relatively common disease. It is necessary to establish a relatively strict quarantine system, select disease-free trees as breeding materials, and plant disease-free seedlings. Strengthen the management of soil, fertilizer and water in the orchard to enhance tree vigor and improve disease resistance.

2. Pests: Red spider pests are very common. Once red spiders are found, they must be isolated in time and sprayed with pesticides for prevention and control.

IV. Other issues

1. Whether it is grown indoors: It likes sunlight very much, so it is recommended to keep it in a well-lit place outdoors, and ventilate it frequently to avoid consequences such as few flowers and fruits due to insufficient light.

2. Whether to give it as a gift: It is evergreen, with dense branches and leaves. It will be full of flowers in spring and bear abundant fruits in autumn and winter. It is very beautiful and has a high ornamental value, so it is suitable for giving as a gift.
