Kumquats usually bloom from June to October. However, its flowers do not bloom at the same time, but in batches. Its first batch of flowers blooms in mid-to-late June each year, the second batch blooms in July, the third batch blooms in August, and the fourth batch blooms in September-October.

At this time, you should control the water appropriately, just keep the soil slightly moist, and never water it too much, otherwise it will easily cause the flowers and buds to fall off. In addition, if the plants are maintained outdoors, special attention should be paid to protecting them from rain. When it rains, you should block the rain in time, and drain the rainwater accumulated in the soil in time after the rain.

2. Pruning and fattening: After the first batch of flowers have withered, it is necessary to prune it in time. Cut off the remaining flowers to facilitate the next batch of flowers to bloom. In addition, during the flowering period, phosphorus fertilizer should be applied every 10-15 days to provide it with sufficient nutrients and help it bloom better.
