How long does it take for an old pomegranate tree to sprout? Things to note when repotting

1. How long does it take for an old pomegranate tree to sprout?

Old pomegranate tree stumps usually sprout between March and April each year. If the old stump is planted before March in spring, it will sprout within about a month after taking root. The specific time also depends on the planting environment and maintenance management. If the maintenance is proper and the environment is suitable, the germination time will be advanced. Otherwise, it will be delayed.

2. Things to note when repotting old pomegranate trees

1. Time: When repotting old pomegranate trees, you should pay attention to the time. It should be between early spring and Qingming Festival. During this period, the temperature rises, but new branches have not yet sprouted. Repotting at this time will reduce damage to the root system and promote faster recovery of growth. Be sure to avoid the high temperature in summer.

2. Method: If transplanting into a flowerpot, it is recommended to bring the soil ball with you when digging. The soil ball can protect the root system, reduce damage, and is beneficial for repotting. Bare root plantings will take longer to recover.

3. Watering: Plants that have just been repotted should be watered as soon as possible, and watered thoroughly so that both the plants and the potting soil can absorb enough water. Note that if the soil is not dry in the later stage, do not water it. At this time, the growth has not recovered and the water requirement is small, so you need to reduce watering. If the amount of water is too large, the respiration of the roots will be hindered, affecting growth recovery, and in severe cases, the roots are prone to rot.
