Olive flower cultivation method

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It can withstand low temperatures and will not be frozen even at minus ten degrees Celsius. Therefore, it can be raised outdoors regardless of the north or south. No anti-freeze measures are needed in winter, and it can safely overwinter.

2. Watering: Except for summer, watering once or twice a week is sufficient in other seasons. Because of its drought-resistant characteristics, excessive watering will be detrimental to its growth. The temperature is relatively high in summer, and water evaporates quickly. It also coincides with its growing season, so the demand for water will be slightly higher than in other seasons. It needs to be watered two to three times a week in summer. If it is cultivated in the open field, waterlogging prevention measures need to be taken. Proper water control and drainage are needed in the rainy season to prevent the roots from being soaked in water for a long time.

3. Fertilization: Young trees have a relatively high demand for nutrients and need to be fertilized once every two months, with nitrogen fertilizer being the main fertilizer. Mature plants need to be fertilized once every three months, with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer being the main fertilizer, because compound fertilizer is rich in nutrients and can meet the needs of the plants in all aspects.

4. Light: It likes sunshine and the daily light time cannot be less than eight hours. During the seedling stage, appropriate shading is needed at noon. After it matures, it does not need shading and natural light is sufficient.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Weeding: Weeding is required frequently during the growth period of the plant to prevent weeds from competing with the plant for nutrients and causing malnutrition of the plant. Herbicides are harmful to the plant, so when spraying, avoid the plant body to avoid affecting the growth of the plant. The time for spraying is usually before the weeds set seeds or in late June.

2. Medicine: Regular weeding is required during the cultivation process to prevent weeds from competing with plants for nutrients. Glyphosate can be used for weeding, and it must be diluted before use.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Yellow leaves: Root rot of the plant is mostly due to insufficient light. Just increase the amount of light gradually.

2. No flowering: The plant may not bloom because it does not have sufficient nutrients and needs to be given more nutrients. In addition to using root fertilizer, you can also use foliar fertilizer. You can mix leftover beer with water and spray it on the branches and leaves of the plant to supplement the nutrients of the branches and leaves.
