Growing Tangerines in Pots - Step by Step
- Buy mandarin seeds from your local nursery and use the seeds of a tangerine. If you opt for the latter, wash the seeds well and then dry them.
- Choose a suitable container for the type of mandarin you have chosen. Always make sure the soil contains holes to facilitate drainage.
- Use soil that is rich in organic matter and small stones in the ground for good drainage. You can also mix the soil with some washed sand to improve ventilation.
- Sow 2-3 seeds in the center of the pot and cover with 1/2 inch of soil.
- Plant the germinated seeds or transplant the tree. Cover the roots and push the soil to the sides, being careful not to damage the plant.
- Place your pot near the window so the sunlight can reach her
- Pour the pot when you feel the first inch deep dry when it touches the ground. Moderate watering in summer and less in winter.
- Prune the suction cups that grow along the trunk and cut off the broken or dead branches at any time.
- Try to keep your compost rich in magnesium, zinc, and iron.
Caring for mandarins
- Water regularly and make sure the land is always there.
- Fertilize monthly to feed your plant. We recommend a liquid acid-based fertilizer.
- If your tangerine tree grows, dYou should transplant it back into a larger pot.
- If you live in a warm climateYou can also transplant your tree outdoors in the spring.
- If your tangerine tree has grown long enough, Put some supports or even a tomato cage around it to promote growth upward and not on the sides that take up a lot of space.
