Fig

Fig is especially delicious. It tastes sweet, soft and waxy, and has a faint fragrance. You can start planting around March and April

Operation steps:

1. Cut off some fig branches and divide them into small sections. It's best to leave 2 ~ 3 bud points in each section, so as to germinate faster

2. Fig cutting can use plastic bottles, which have been tested by flower friends. The rooting rate of plastic bottles is higher than that of direct planting. Fill the bottle with 1:1 sand and soil, wet it and insert branches

3. The soil in the plastic bottle should be kept moist and placed at the position of scattered light. It should not be directly exposed to the sun before transplanting. It will take root in about two weeks

4. Fig can be transplanted into a separate flower pot after cutting for about 6 ~ 8 weeks. Remove the soil around the root system a little and you can transplant it

5. Prepare a large flowerpot for fig, so that the root system of fig can grow better and bear more fruit

6. After transplanting, put the flowerpot in the most sunny place at home and bask in the sun every day. As long as the soil is not too dry, figs are easy to rot if watered too much

7. Some friends say that potted figs are not as many as ground grown fruits, because the nutrition in the pot is limited. Thin organic fertilizer can be applied 1 ~ 2 times a month

8. Fig generally begins to mature in August and September. You can apply some potassium fertilizer two months in advance, so that the fruit will bear more and bigger

Strawberries

Strawberries on the market are very expensive, but the taste is very ordinary. It's better to plant a basin on the balcony. In a few months, you can eat your own strawberries

Operation steps:

1. You can buy strawberry seedlings directly to plant strawberries. You can buy them at the flower market or online

2. Prepare a flowerpot with a large mouth. It doesn't need to be too deep because the strawberry root system is relatively shallow. The soil can be rotten leaf soil and river sand

3. Clean the soil around the root system a little, then plant it in a flower pot and fill it with soil. Strawberries grow very fast. Don't plant too many in a flowerpot. Generally, it's OK to plant 2 ~ 3 strawberries

4. The planting direction of potted strawberries is also exquisite. It is best to plant strawberries with their bow back facing outward. In this way, the strawberries that grow just fall outside the flower pot and will not be stained with soil

5. Put the strawberries on the balcony and get enough light. Water every day to keep the soil moist

6. When the strawberries bloom, they can be pollinated. Dip the pollen of one strawberry with a waste brush or soft brush, and then brush it on another strawberry. Brush again every few days to improve the success rate of pollination

7. Soon, the little white flower will bear strawberries. At this time, you can apply a thin cake fertilizer water, so that the fruit will be bigger and sweeter

8. When the strawberries turn red, they can be picked and eaten. The strawberries planted by ourselves are particularly rich, fragrant and sweet. Now plant a pot and you can eat strawberries around June

Watermelon

Everyone likes to eat watermelon in summer. If the balcony at home is large, you can try growing watermelon yourself. About late March, when the temperature at home is more than 15 degrees, it can be planted

Operation steps:

1. Buy some watermelon seeds and plant them at home. It's best to choose some small varieties. Put the seeds in warm water at about 30 degrees, soak them for an hour, take them out and put them on wet paper towels for 2 ~ 3 hours

2. Prepare a flower pot, add some base fertilizer to the soil, and wet the soil surface with water. Dig a small hole 1 ~ 2 cm deep, plant watermelon seeds and cover them with soil

3. A week later, watermelon seedlings can grow leaves. At this time, you can start to bask in the sun and keep the soil slightly wet

4. Watermelon has the habit of climbing vine. You can use a stick to guide the growth direction of watermelon vine, so it won't be too messy

5. About a month later, the watermelon will blossom. If the watermelon doesn't bloom, you can pour some rotten bone water

6. After flowering, watermelon should be pollinated. The watermelon vine without small watermelon is the male flower. Pick the male flower and rub the female flower with the pistil

7. A few days after pollination, small watermelons began to grow. Generally, one or two watermelons are left in a pot. The nutrition of potted plants is limited, and if they stay more, they will not grow

8. After more than a month, the watermelon will basically mature. It should be watered less before harvest. If watered more, the watermelon will not be sweet. When the watermelon skin lines are clear and the sound is dull, you can pick it off and eat it

Now plant a pot and you can eat fruit in summer
