How to grow apples at home, ways to grow apples

Since you want to choose to grow apples at home, you need to choose a tougher variety and a stronger one. Since the balcony space is not very large, but the apple tree is relatively large, it is better to choose a flower pot with a larger diameter.

Planting steps: 1. Variety: Generally speaking, there are two varieties of apple trees for home planting, one is Hanfu apples and the other is Hanxiang apples.

They each have their own advantages, the former is that the fruit is larger and the shape of the fruit is more beautiful; The latter is that the fruit has a fragrant smell and the color of the surface of the fruit is bright and bright, which is very beautiful.

2. Use pots: Since the plant is a tree, the pot should be a little deeper, and the pot mouth should be wider, and there should be many small holes at the bottom to drain water in time. The pots are usually around 50 cm in diameter, so that planting plants will make it grow well.

3. Soil quality: It is the soil it likes to grow, and it needs to be regularly updated with potting soil and add some nutrients. Under normal circumstances, you can use fine sand and fine chemical fertilizer together, and then sprinkle it directly into the pot to replenish nutrients.

4. Pruning: After planting, if you want the plant to grow well, you have to prune it with a certain shape, and you can shape it according to what you want in your heart. Be careful to leave a large gap between the branches when pruning, so that it does not interfere with the production of large and delicious apples.

How to grow apples at home? I'm still better for you to buy seedlings and put them in pots at home to cultivate.

1. Prepare soil.

If you want to grow apples, the most important thing is to prepare the soil for their growth and development. Apples are suitable for growing in fertile acidic soils that are loose and porous, with strong drainage and air permeability, so they can be used for planting after using humus, garden soil and peat soil to obtain a uniform mixture.

2. Treat saplings.

Apple planting is generally done by transplanting cultivated seedlings, and apple trees cultivated by the sowing method do not bear fruit, so they are generally not used. However, when using cultivated saplings, it is necessary to choose saplings with relatively intact roots and soil mass that have not been damaged too much, so that the saplings can adapt to the new environment more quickly.

3. Planting techniques.

First, dig out a hole about twice as deep as the apple tree sapling with a shovel on the prepared loose and fertile land, and then spread some ripened farm fertilizer or compound fertilizer at the bottom, and then plant the prepared apple sapling.

4. Post-planting maintenance.

After the planting is completed, it needs to be watered once, this time the watering is generally called fixed root water, which is related to whether the apple sapling can survive and adapt to the new environment.

1. Planting location: apple trees should be planted in the sunrise, requiring high terrain, loose soil, convenient drainage and irrigation, and convenient transportation.

2. Select saplings: determine the apple varieties and select saplings with thick branches and leaves, vigorous growth and developed root systems. In this way, it is easy to plant and survive in the later stage. Apple saplings can be properly pruned before planting to reduce water loss, and the roots are best wrapped in the soil.

4. Reasonable dense planting: the plant row spacing is 2 meters - 3 meters 4 meters - 5 meters, dig the planting hole, make the fertile soil in the planting hole, 3 to 4 days before planting, fill enough water into the planting hole. Before planting, apple saplings are soaked in clean water for about 24 hours, dipped in mud, and treated with rooting powder, and then immediately planted in the pit.

After planting, it needs to be watered in time and covered with a film to keep warm and moisturize.

5. Scientific management: scientific fertilization and reasonable pruning of apple trees. Apply basal fertilizer in autumn, compound fertilizer during the growing season, and spray foliar fertilizer. Carry out reasonable plastic pruning, thinning flowers and fruits during the flowering and fruiting period, starting two weeks after flowering and ending after 45 days after flowering, and bagging the apple tree.

Apples are suitable for deep, well-drained sandy loam soils rich in organic matter. The pH value of the soil should be slightly acidic to neutral. Apples are also a high-yielding fruit tree that is adaptable to the soil.

Generally, the thin hilly land, the sandy desert of the river beach and the mild saline-alkali land can be cultivated in patches after appropriate improvement, and higher economic income can be obtained.

Ask the grower or the research institute.
