of the litchi plant growth Here are tips on how to plant Litchi in the

way for getting optimal results For example, pingpong litch has a fruit size
as large as a ping pong ball its taste is very sweet
Its texture is lookalike muddy because it much watery and has larger fruit seeds

seedlings result of grafting is good to plant in pot because it will be easy to bear fruit
than plant derived from seeds It would be great if the propagation of plants
using the graft method grafted seedlings only take a year to bear
fruit In addition, grafted seedlings also have smaller
tree sizes and it's not too high Make sure you choose high quality seeds, fertile
and healthy so it will produce a dense fruit in the future

Pot Selection
The selection of pots as containers requires long-term planning
You can use drum, plastic, Palnter bag and also cast cement
The higher seed you have, we recommend to use pots that have a height and a larger diameter
As an example; Litchi that has a height of 30 to 40 centimeters, best to plant in pots
that have a diameter of 40 to 50 centimeters 3. Planting medium
Next is the planting medium derived from a mixture of soil, sand, husk, and manure
The exact comparison is 1: 1: 1: 2 It's better to use manure derived from goat
or sheep since it have more phosphorus Do not forget to use Styrofoam or tile fragments
that are placed in the bottom of the pot as high as four to five centimeters to avoid
the wet soil medium 4. Treatment step
This treatment step consists of watering, fertilizing, pruning and replacement of planting
medium we will explain one by one as follows
First, the watering process Litch plants in pots can not search for water
itself because the roots can not spread out from the pot
Therefore, watering is needed so that plant moisture is maintained
Thus, the growth of the plant will be well preserved, which in turn, will make the plant
has a more mature readiness to produce bushy fruit
Also worth noting is that watering should be seasonally adjusted
If it is the rainy season, do not let watering result in puddles in the pot
And when it is dry season, do not let the litchi in the pot is less in water
Second, the process of providing sunlight In addition to water availability, litch in
pots also need sufficient sunlight Because the sun is very crucial thing for
plants to carry out the process of photosynthesis optimally
at least for 5 hours per day the plants must get enough sunlight
third, fertilizer once a month becomes an important step in the cultivation of plants
In the first month use goat or sheep dung and in the next month can use NPK 16:16:16
fertilizer In addition, fertilization can also be done
by spraying growth stimulants (ZPT) for auxin formers
Auksin useful to spur the emergence of flowers Applications of stimulating substances can
be directly splashed into plants without additional treatment
5. Pruning
Do pruning on litchi with 1-3-9 patterns The main branch is maintained only one with
a length of 75-100 cm meanwhile the primary and secondary branches
each numbered three and nine In order for having a solid canopy shape of
litchi plants, the primary branch and secondary branches should have a length of 30-50 cm
Pruning on the secondary branch will produce new shoots as a tertiary branch accompanied
by the emergence of compound flowers that will becoming fruit
Not to forget, do pruning on water buds, unproductive branches, shaded branches, and dry branches
so that the sun can enter evenly and penetrate the plant canopy for photosynthesis process
6.

Submission
Make submissions by pulling one of the healthy secondary branches downward using a wire
We recommend adding coco fiber between the branches and wires
coco fiber used to avoid wound caused by scratches from the wire
flower buds will grow after a few weeks of submission
7. Planting Media Replacement
After going through a long planting period, the planting medium should be replaced
the goal is that the soil media is not too hard and solid
This replacement usually every six months If you do not want to change media, you can
give more organic fertilizer into the media 8. Grafting
How to cultivate litch  in the last pot is to do a grafting
If your litchi plants  have started to flourish and bear fruit
It indicates that the plant is old enough and ready to be grafted
This grating aims to propagate new seeds to be re-planted
9. Harvesting of litch Plants
Take more attention on  the way to harvest litchi fruit
so your litchies remain fruitful in any season Because if you make a mistake in the harvesting
process, than it can result in litchi plant is not fruitful anymore
Proper way to harvest litchi fruit is by cutting the stem
and not just picking the fruit By doing so, we can treat litch fruit in order
to remain fruitful in the next season.
