When cultivating four-season oranges, you must have a comprehensive understanding of its growth habits.

The interval between watering should change according to the changes in seasons and temperature.

In addition, in the hot summer weather, you should spray water on the leaves in time to maintain the air humidity.

3. Apply fertilizer appropriately

Fertilization is also very important in the cultivation of four-season oranges. The fertilizers used in this season are different. Farmyard manure should be applied at ordinary times. After it enters the flowering period, it is necessary to spray 2% borax or 5% urea. After it enters the late flowering and fruiting period, a certain amount of phosphorus fertilizer needs to be applied. In addition, gibberellins can be sprayed before and after the fruiting period of four-season oranges, which is conducive to increasing its fruit setting rate and prolonging its flowering period.

You should also clean the roots, remove the old and rotten roots, and replace 1/3 of the old soil in the tag. In addition, during the cultivation of four-season oranges, you should also pay attention to pest control. When you find scale insects, red spiders, powdery mildew and other pests and diseases, you need to spray drugs in time.
