Onderhoudsinstructies
Loquat trees prefer moderate temperatures and should be placed in a location where they can receive direct bright light for several hours a day. They thrive in environments with moderate humidity and should be watered when the soil partially dries out. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and health of the tree.Oogst
Eriobotrya japonica, commonly known as loquat, is typically harvested in late spring to early summer when the fruits turn a bright yellow or orange color and are slightly soft to the touch. To harvest, gently twist or cut the fruit from the tree, being careful not to damage the branches or remaining fruit. It is important to handle the fruit delicately to avoid bruising. The loquat tree prefers a temperate climate and requires well-drained soil and regular watering, especially during the fruiting period. Pruning may be necessary to maintain tree shape and health.Bodem
Loquat trees prefer well-draining loamy soil that retains some moisture but does not become waterlogged. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, to support healthy growth and fruit production.Verpotten
Repot young loquat trees every 2-3 years to provide fresh soil and more space for root growth. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in early spring before the growing season begins.Voortplanting
Loquat trees can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be planted in well-draining soil and kept moist until they germinate. Cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer and should be placed in a rooting medium until they develop roots.Snoeien
Prune loquat trees in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or diseased branches, and thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation. Pruning helps maintain the tree's shape and encourages healthy growth.Toxiciteit
Loquat trees are not toxic to pets or humans. However, the seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide when ingested in large quantities. It is best to avoid consuming the seeds.Aanvullend
Loquat trees are relatively low-maintenance once established. They are drought-tolerant but will produce better fruit with regular watering. Mulching around the base of the tree can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
