Cultivating loquat in a bucket - What you need to consider
High trunks and shrubs of glossy medlars are ideal for cultivation in the tub. The growth characteristics are crucial for the choice of pasen bucket. Well thought-out care supports the health of your plant.
Requirements for the bucket
High strains are bred by head refinement. They no longer grow in height, but show a growth in thickness. The crown grows expansively, whereby the wood develops a dense root system. The licorice root system is highly branched and spreads flat in the soil. This also applies to shrub-shaped glossy medlars that grow both in height and in width.
Brambles need a large planter with a round or square shape. The bucket must be larger than the pot ball, so that the root system can form. The minimum size is 30 centimeters in height, width and length. The substrate is a high-quality Kübelerde with permeable conditions. Make sure that the soil is enriched with perlites, lava granules, sand or fine split, so that the water flows better. You prevent waterlogging by draining pottery shards on the bottom of the pot.
maintenance
Glossy medlars do not tolerate waterlogging and must not dry out. Pour the plants as soon as the soil in the tub feels dry. Pervasive pouring is not bad if the excess water can drain off. Even in winter, the glossy medlar need water. You should only give the plants water on frost-free days.
Plant your loquat about every two to three years in a larger bucket. The perfect time for repotting is spring, just before the growing season begins. Also fertilize the plant in the spring with a long-term fertilizer. This supplies the trees with nutrients throughout the summer, eliminating the need for further fertilization.
overwinter
The leaves of older plants survive the winter without protection. Young plants must be covered with a garden fleece at minus temperatures, so that no light falls on the leaves. This measure protects against excessive water loss. Remove the fleece as soon as the temperatures are in the positive range. Brambles need light and air for healthy growth.
