Kumquats not only taste sweet and mouth-watering, but the white flowers they bloom are also very fragrant and often attract the attention of bees. Generally speaking, the flowering period of kumquats is mostly in late summer and early autumn, and can bloom four times a year, intermittently between mid-June, early July, early August, early September and October. Although kumquats are beautiful during the flowering period, they require special attention in terms of maintenance. For example, during the flowering period, the amount of watering should be appropriately reduced to prevent water accumulation, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied to increase the number of flower buds, weak flowers should be cut off in time to prevent rotting and affecting normal flowers, and sufficient light should be ensured to maintain normal growth. Next, let’s take a closer look at the flowering period and flowering period care of kumquats. 1. Flowering period
The flowering period of kumquats is generally in late summer and early autumn. They can bloom four times a year, the first time in mid-to-late June, and then in July and August. , will bloom once each from early September to October. It should be noted that the flowering period of kumquats is not continuous, but blooms intermittently and in batches. 2. Maintenance during the flowering period
First of all, kumquats like to be moist and avoid water accumulation, so they need to do a good job in water management. During the flowering period, reduce the amount of watering appropriately and keep the soil slightly moist to avoid causing the roots to grow. Water accumulation occurs. Be careful not to pour water directly onto the flowers when watering to avoid causing rot. Secondly, the growth of kumquats requires a certain supply of nutrients, which requires us to fertilize kumquats regularly, and we must not be careless during the flowering period. It is recommended to apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to increase the number of flower buds on the plant and increase the plant's disease resistance.
Furthermore, flowers need to be cleaned properly during daily maintenance, and broken and weak flowers should be cut off in time to prevent them from rotting and affecting other flowers. Finally, the kumquat tree should be guaranteed to receive ample sunlight to meet its normal growth. November to December every year is the ripening period of the fruit. When the fruit changes from green to golden yellow, the fruit can be harvested. To improve picking quality, it is not advisable to pick on rainy days and avoid dew in the morning. Scissors are usually used when picking, which can improve the commercial quality of kumquats.
