DÉTAILS

Instructions d'entretien
Diospyros lotus requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a humid environment. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings. The plant can tolerate a range of temperatures but prefers a moderate climate.
Récolte
Diospyros lotus, commonly known as the date-plum, is typically harvested in the late autumn when the fruits are fully ripe and have turned a deep yellow or orange color. The fruits should be picked by hand to avoid bruising, as they are quite delicate. It is important to wait until the fruits are fully ripe, as unripe fruits can be astringent and less palatable. The tree itself prefers temperate climates and should be grown in well-drained soil with adequate sunlight. Regular watering is essential during the growth period, but the soil should not be waterlogged.
Sol
The Date Plum prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Engrais
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is recommended. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, to support healthy growth and fruit production.
Rempotage
Repotting is necessary when the plant outgrows its current container. This is usually done in early spring before the growing season begins. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and fresh loamy soil.
Propagation
Diospyros lotus can be propagated through seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining soil mix and kept moist until germination. Cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in a humid environment.
Taille
Pruning is essential to maintain the shape and health of the tree. Prune during the dormant season, removing any dead or diseased branches and thinning out crowded areas to improve air circulation.
Toxicité
Diospyros lotus is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with all plants, it is advisable to keep it out of reach of small children and pets to prevent any accidental ingestion.
Supplémentaire
The Date Plum is a hardy tree that can withstand a range of environmental conditions. It is relatively low-maintenance once established and can provide both ornamental value and edible fruits. Regular monitoring for pests and diseases is recommended to ensure the plant remains healthy.
