In the second year after planting the tangerines, pay attention to pruning the young tangerine trees. Prune the length of the main trunk, main branches, and secondary branches, and try not to prune other branches, so as to promote the growth of more branches.

How to plant Nian Tangerine

1. Planting

The New Year's orange is a potted plant that can be grafted or purchased directly. However, it is difficult to find rootstocks and branches for grafting in some areas, so it is better to buy seedlings directly. Before purchasing, you must first prepare the soil suitable for the growth of the New Year's orange, and manage the fertilizer and water first, which is more conducive to the growth of the New Year's orange.

2. Fertilization

After planting the orange in the soil, fertilize around it. It is best to put base fertilizer, such as peanut cake. Fertilize once every half a month. At this time, it is best to apply compound fertilizer. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 1:1:1. After winter, no fertilizer is needed.

3. Watering

When planting New Year oranges, it is best to water them once a day, but you must wait until the top three centimeters of the soil are dry before watering. When the weather is too dry, you should also spray water on the leaves of the plant. In winter, you can reduce the number of watering and wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. New Year oranges should be placed on the south balcony, but they should be properly shaded in the summer to prevent them from being killed by strong sunlight.
