Tricks to Keep Kumquats Fresh, Preventing Fruit Drop, and Leaf Withering
Method 1
To keep kumquats fresh, before planting them in pots indoors, layer non-crumbled charcoal at the bottom of the pot, then place the tree in and fill it with nutrient-rich soil to ensure the tree has nutrients. This helps water drainage and makes the tree feel more airy.
Method 2
How to Care for Kumquats Fresh during Tet
Avoid over-watering or excessive nitrogen fertilizer. This can cause root rot, gradually leading to the death of the tree. It's best to use a small watering can to spray water on the tree or gently splash water onto the leaves about 2 times a day, and water the base of the tree enough to keep the soil moist to ensure the leaves stay fresh and don't wither.
Method 3
In addition to selecting kumquats with intact root balls, you should also pay attention to keeping kumquats fresh by planting them in large pots with plenty of gaps to add soil so that the tree's root ball doesn't feel compressed.
Tips for Choosing and Buying Fresh Kumquats
The first thing to consider when choosing kumquat trees is to pay attention to the root ball. If the root ball is cracked, the tree will wither and die in a short time.
To keep kumquats fresh, you should buy young trees that don't have concentric rings on the trunk, with large, shiny, dark green leaves, and plump, evenly filled fruits. Choose trees with a rounded canopy, with clusters of fruits evenly distributed on all sides. Most kumquat trees sold during Tet have ripe fruits, but you should choose ones with green veins as these are freshly ripe fruits that will last longer during Tet festivities.
Kumquat trees with many young shoots, young fruits, buds, and flowers are usually beautiful trees with the ability to stay fresh. However, to achieve this, you will need to invest more effort and expense.
Nowadays, many kumquat sellers lack sincerity, often inserting fresh branches and leaves into the tree trunk to attract customers. So when buying kumquat trees for Tet, you should carefully check and pay attention to avoid being deceived by dishonest sellers.
The tips for keeping kumquats fresh mentioned above will be useful advice for you, helping your kumquat tree stay fresh and golden during Tet to bring the lively atmosphere of spring.
