Grapefruit is a fruit tree that many families love and choose to grow. Housewives can refer to techniques for planting and caring for grapefruit trees in their home garden to produce as many fruits as desired.
Trimming at the right time
Pruning branches at the right time plays an important role in shaping tree canopy, eliminating weak branches, old branches and branches that are unable to bloom.
The right pruning time is right after harvest, giving grapefruit trees time to recover before the new flowering season. Proper pruning will stimulate flower buds to grow and help garden grapefruit trees produce more evenly.
Proper fertilization
Grapefruit needs to be fully provided with nutrients at each growth stage. In the post-harvest period, organic fertilizers combined with NPK fertilizer should be fertilized to restore the plant.
1 - 1.5 months before flowering, increase the lanterns and potassium to stimulate flower buds. When the fruit is growing, don't forget to continue adding potassium fertilizer to help the fruit grow evenly and hydrate. Proper fertilization not only helps the plant produce more flowers but also increases the quality of delicious and sweet fruits.
Underwater appropriately, avoid flooding
Grapefruit needs a sufficient amount of water, especially in the dry season or the flowering and bearing period. Too much water can easily cause waterlogging of roots, causing flowers and young fruits to fall off; on the contrary, if there is a lack of water, the plant will not thrive, affecting productivity.
Water the plant in the early morning or cool afternoon, maintain stable soil moisture so that the plant absorbs nutrients well and maintains sustainable development.
Pesticide room
Some common pests on grapefruit plants, if not controlled promptly, will affect the ability to bloom and bear fruit.
Regularly check the trunk and roots of the plant, prune off the affected leaves, use biological drugs or environmentally friendly microbiotics. This is a way to keep the plants healthy so that the grapefruit is always good and fresh, not producing fruit all year round.
