If you want to pot apples, you should work hard on soil selection, water control, fertilizer control and pruning and shaping. Potted apples need loose and fertile soil and large flowerpots, and should be watered in time when wet and dry alternate. Fertilization and sparse fertilization should be adjusted according to the plant state, pruned frequently, and flowers and fruits should be thinned appropriately.

Potted apples 1 How to cultivate and select soil

Potting apples is easier than planting them in the ground, and the soil used will be less, but after all, apples have the characteristics of fast growth and developed roots, so we should choose bigger and deeper flowerpots and prepare loose and fertile mixed soil suitable for apple growth with humus soil, garden soil and sand.

Step 2 control watering

The newly planted apple saplings need to be watered once. This time, the soil should be thoroughly watered to adapt the roots of the seedlings to the new environment. The watering frequency should be adjusted according to the different stages and seasons of apple tree growth and development. Generally, water once every 1-2 days in spring and autumn, 1 time in the morning and evening in summer, and slightly control the water in winter.

3. Rational topdressing

Fertilization is very important for potted apple trees to grow strong enough. Only by ensuring adequate nutrient supply can apple trees flourish, blossom and bear fruit. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer should be added to the soil, nitrogen fertilizer should be used in the growth period, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be used in the flowering and fruiting period, so that the thin fertilizer should be applied in moderation and adjusted in time.

4. Dressing and shaping

Pruning and leaf cutting are important steps for ornamental and pest control of potted apple trees. Regular pruning of apple trees can not only keep the appearance of apple trees beautiful, but also help to prevent and control pests and diseases by cutting off long branches, horizontal branches and weak branches, and can also properly sparse flowers and fruits during flowering and fruiting period to improve yield.
