If you have ever wanted to have a fruit-moving tree at home, which would not require special care, did not need a lot of time and mostly brought fruit to everything, then definitely pay attention to the room grenade. After all, it is always pleasant to enjoy the fruits of your work, especially if this is pleasure not only spiritual, but also physical!
In this article, I will tell you about this wonderful tree, his habitat habitat, give 5 practical advice on growing healthy and fruiting trees and some recommendations for the care of it.
Pomegranate (with lat. Punicia) in wildlife It is mainly the trees of low growth, approximately 2-5 meters in height. A little less often occurs a shrub, the fruits of which are the same large, as in the trees, but give back to Kislic, which gives special piquancy to the fruits.
Due to its unpretentiousness, the plant is distributed in a large range of latitudes, and it grows mainly on two continents: Eurasia and Africa. In various sources, information on the origin of the garnet and in North Africa, and Western Asia and southern EuropeOne thing is clear exactly - this type of fruit appeared on its own and for quite a long time, and the ult does not have a certain historical place of origin. I can not not tell about the history of the origin of the pomegranate name: with Latin Punicus translates like Carthaginsky or Punic. Stunches (now their state is called Tunisia) supplied the most delicious grenades in Rome. Since those times, the name "stuck" to the heroes of this article. There are also two more names of this fetus who went in the people: Malum Granatum and Malum Punicum (Malum from Latin Apple). Indeed, the similarity is obvious. In ancient Greek culture, the grenade takes a worthy place, personifying and symbolizing happy marriage, love, complete passion, and fertility.
House representatives
In rooms, the room grenade is cultivated more often as a shrub, the basis of which is 5-7 large trunks, with large quantity branches. Less often, there are a tree, but this appearance It does not contribute to the healthy growth of the plant, as predominantly the thickness of the branches and the trunks is only 1-1.5 centimeters. This pomegranate belongs to deciduous plants, so do not be surprised, or even rejoice that in the autumn he will reset the foliage and prepare for rest. There are spines on the branches, during flowering two types of flowers form. So-called "men's" and "female". The fruits are tied only in "female" flowers. 
It is quite simple to distinguish them: in future fruit, the flower shape is similar to a jug, but from the flowers of the bell-shaped berries you can not wait. The fruits of the room dwarf grenade variety Carthage are small enough. For cultural garden trees The norm is considered to be fruits 15-18 centimeters in diameter.
In addition to the useful and delicious fruits, indoor grenades are grown for its red small, but numerous flowers. On average, they are 4-5 centimeters in diameter and there are a lot of them on one bush. Pleasantly sometimes enjoy this kind in your own apartment or house.
Sort
At home the most suitable varieties Indoor pomegranates can be considered: Pomegranate Carthanes Dwarf and Granat Baby,
Room garnet variety Carthage
At home, it grows in the form of a tree a height of about 80 cm. If you buy it by a plant, pay attention to the size of the leaves, the Nana grenade, they are about 2 centimeters long, when both in ordinary, garden, about 3-4. Even when landing seeds, and this most often happens, it starts to bloom and even be froning approximately for 6-7 years of life. The germination of seeds of this variety is 10-70%, yes, it is such a big scatter. The fruits of the carfagen are small, 5-6 centimeters in diameter. Edible grenadeels, you can also squeeze juice from them, which is the taste of sour-sweet. Unfortunately, not always room grenade fruits, there are cases that it does not even bloom. If you have a grenade not bloomed, I suggest you vaccinate a branch from a fruiting tree to a grown plant from seeds.
Room garnet of Baby variety
Grow most often from seeds that are sold by packages of 5 seeds. This is a shrub, but already smaller than it is: 30-50 cm. Leaves, however, elongated, grow groups on branches, and these groups are distributed evenly throughout the bustice. Baby blooms for 3-4 years old with bright red flowers up to 7 cm in size, but in the first year it is usually empty. The germination of this grenade variety is more stable and is 50-60%. The fruits are 3-4 cm in size. It is desirable, even if you have more than 7 fruits on the bush, it is left for a ripening of about 5-7 fruits.
Care
I will tell you about what care requires room grenade at home
Lighting
Since the plant is from hot countries, then you can guess that he needs a lot of light. In young age, protect the seedlings from too bright light, but gradually, with increasing, teach to well-lit windows of your room. Despite the fact that the adult plant is very lightless, you should not leave it under the right sunlight. If you have a balcony or terrace, put your plant there. Optimal temperature For any varieties of grenade, 25-30 degrees above zero are considered.
Tip 1. If you have a cottage or your garden, then in the summer room grenade should not keep at home, but it is better to transplant it to the street. For landing, choose the west side, and the shadow of garden trees. You can touch the plant directly in the pot, thereby simplifying it digging along the autumn.
Temperature
Why do we advise you to choose a well-ventilated room for the content of a grenade in hot time? Because the plant at low humidity and high temperature includes self-defense and resets part of foliage, growth rates are significantly slow.
In winter, the content temperature must be kept in the range of 5-10 degrees above zero. At such a temperature, the room pomegranate resets the leaves, which will undoubtedly have a positive effect on flowering in the future. People period lasts 4 months since November. At this time, young plants dissolve non-human, about 1 time in 10 days. Together with the adulth of Punicia, watering is carried out in winter More and less, and at the age of 4 are brought to 1 time per month or even one and a half (it all depends on the size of the bush).
Tip 2. In winter, remove the grenade into the loggia, if the temperature there is order of +6 degrees above zero, and the plant harvested and pests will die, unless of course they were there.
Soil and its volume
Neutral soil is best suited for planting. Flowers Amateur Most often prepare ground for a grenade independently, mixing in equal bodies of humus, peat, black soil and large river sand. But if you have no one at your arm at hand, get the soil in the store for roses or any other, but most importantly with PH7. The root system grows more in diameter than deep into, respectively, the pot is better to select wide and not deep. At the bottom, be sure to put good drainagewill fit the usual and all favorite ceramzit. Another advantage in the content of pomegranate varieties is not a demandingness to a large amount of soil. The size can be chosen as follows: in the first year of life there is a 0.5 liter pot, then every year, up to 5 years of age, the size of the rig increases by 0.5 liters per year. At the age of 6 years, Carthage and Baby varieties are considered adult plants and do not require an increase in pot volumes and they can be finally defined in 4-5 liter containers. All of the above, of course, is valid for the averaged plant size and needs to be adjusted, in each case. When transplanting, try not to overdo it, but better carry out the transshipment with an increase in the size of the pot, it does not hurt the roots of the plant, and will only affect the growth and health.
A little about poliva
The room grenade does not tolerate water in pots, now you understand why it is so important to organize a good drainage. It is worthwhile standing abundantly, but also to withstand sufficient breaks, to dry up the upper layer of soil with a thickness of a couple of centimeters.
Tip 3. As an indicator of soil moisture is perfectly suitable for the usual toothpick, stuck next to the bush.
We correct watering, depending on the time of the year and the periods of plant growth as follows: During the Software - from March to May - we increase, in order to satisfy the plants, while flowering, we cut a little bit, that is, quite a bit, it will help to start the fruits, then, when The appearance of "Granatinok" watering again perform a little more often, but with caution, because it is possible to crack
Also positively indoor grenade responds to spraying foliage on hot days. This contributes to maintenance necessary humidity on the surface of the plant.
Fertilizers and subordinate
I am often asked, what to get a room grenade? It is best to perform feeding with intervals in 2-3 weeks, and divided into 3 periods: in the spring we introduce nitrogen fertilizers, and we achieve active growth, in the summer gradually moving to phosphate fertilizers, the use of which will contribute to flowering, and in autumn, for aging fruits and stock Energy for the winter feed the potassium compositions. We prepare fertilizers and introduce into the soil according to the instructions on the packages.
Council 4. When making nitrogen fertilizers, we bite the trunks of plants with polyethylene, so that the solution did not fall on the plant itself, otherwise burns may appear on its surface.
Growing and reproduction
Room grenade can be raised by two very popular ways:
From seeds
The method is very simple: after purchasing and unpacking the packs with seeds soaked them in a solution with a growth stimulant by 6-10 hours (thus, increase the percentage of good gear). We land them into one container at a depth of no more than 2 cm, moisturize the soil and create the guy. For these purposes, the food film or cover from the cake is suitable. Follow the moisture content of the soil - it is not worth it to moisten, since the likelihood of shooting shoots is great. After the appearance of germs, and it takes about 2-3 week after landing, regularly water them, and do not forget once a day for 20 minutes to air mini greenhouse. After the appearance of 4 main leaves, the film can be finally removed.
With the help of Chenkov
it best way obtaining the offspring of all the properties of the parent. For reproduction with cuttings with a fruiting branch of an adult plant, "sticks" with 5-6 kidneys are cut. Lower 1-2 kidneys should be removed. Soak out our "cutting" in the root formation stimulator for 3-5 hours, at a depth of these 2 kidneys. Next, landing the cuttings in the prepared, moistened soil to a depth of 3-4 centimeters, and also create greenhouse conditions.
Beneficial features
All grenade varieties are valuable raw materials in traditional medicine, almost all parts, including roots, bark and partitions in the fruits, are used. Eating into food "Granatok" contribute to the normalization of blood pressure and remove the headache, together with the problems with digestion, the appetite rises. In addition to the fruits, the dried and crushed crust of trees is also in progress (as an anthelmintic agent or a means from a liquid chair), and leaves for making tea.
Plant formation
The heroes of this article are quite easily transferred to all kinds of trimming, tapping and other kind of "bullying". Do you understand what I am a clone? To the fact that from the grenade, good bonsai trees are obtained, the root system described above is the same. True, let himself give a little advice, bonsai - the art of growing miniature trees from large, so use the garden grenade for this purpose.
Tip 5. In the fall, before the rest time, cut dry branches, at the same time form the necessary shape of the bush.
Diseases and pests
Against these misfortunes, unfortunately, fruit plant There is no immunity, so regularly inspect the foliage, branches and trunks. When the shield is detected, the whiteflies or other insects immediately begin treatment: with a small number of individuals you can collect them, but be sure to observe, in case of a large population of these creatures, do not hesitate to apply chemicals. If the roots are suspected, it is possible to determine this by a large number of yellowed leaves, it is necessary to carry out a plant with cropping roots to healthy tissues and further drying and coal processing of a cut.
Summarizing
At the end of the article I want to say that following our simple recommendationsYou will not be difficult to grow a room grenade, both from seeds and with cuttings, as well as provide it with the necessary care.
Oranges and lemons on the windowsill are a typical phenomenon. Therefore, the amateur-lovers are "domesticated" all new exotic cultures - kiwi, pineapples, grenades that not only bring delicious and useful fruits, but also very beautifully flower. Especially for cultivation in the "captivity" breeders brought several dwarf varieties. Among them and Baby, distinguished by miniature and unpretentiousness.
What does Baby grenade look like
In nature, the grenade - low (2-2.5 m) wood or splashing shrub. Fruits in the last no smaller size, but differ in very spicy acid in taste.
"Natural" grenades are much larger than anticipate at home
The Latin name of the pomegranate (Punicia) is translated as "Punic" or "Carthaginsky". This state, located in the territory of modern Tunisia, was the main supplier of delicious fruits in the Roman Empire. Grenades Her residents quickly appreciated, they became a symbol of fertility and long passionate love. A B. Ancient Greece The fruit was one of the attributes of the wife of Zeus, Gera, and meant happiness in marriage. The Russian "grenade" comes from another Latin word, Granatus (translated - "grainy").
Indoor or dwarf grenades are the recent achievement of breeders. Especially allocated miniature variety Baby. The height of the adult plant does not exceed 50 cm, but it does not affect the abundance of flowering or ability to fruit.
The height of the adult garnet Baby does not exceed half a meter
Baby fruits do not exceed 3-4 cm in diameter (approximately with walnut). But in taste, they practically do not differ from the "real" pomegranates. Do not suffer and benefit. Any grenades contain many anthocyans that contribute to the increase in blood hemoglobin levels have a beneficial effect on the digestive system, they have anti-inflammatory properties.
To mature, the fruit grenade fruits is required about six months.
Most often, Baby's grenade at home is a shrub consisting of 5-7 major shoots. A tree in one barrel from it, if desired, can also be formed, but it is not the best way It affects the state of the plant, preventing it with normal growth. Baby branches thickness - only 1.2-1.5 cm. The shoots are covered with smooth or slightly pubescent bark of light gray colors (sometimes with a brown piton).
Tree is not the most natural configuration for indoor grenade, it is quite difficult to form because of the fragility of shoots
Room grenade - leaf fall plant. If he is the fall of "bald", this is the norm, and not the first sign of some exotic disease. During the vegetative season, thanks to the brilliant leaves of a saturated dark-green shade, it looks very attractive even without flowers and fruits.
The leaves are solid, have an elongated lanceal shape and moderately "corrugated" edges. They are assembled into evenly distributed over the entire plant "beams" on branches, and those two, which are located from opposite edges of each "beam", against each other, substantially larger than others. The central vein is very clearly expressed, but with inside. The newly appeared leaves have an unusual bronze tide.
Babe flowers up to 6-7 cm long and about 2.5-3 cm in diameter, six-board, are located on the tops of the shoots. Petals in the form of a wide oval, with a moderately "wrinkled" surface, the tips are slightly rejected back. They are painted in a bright bloody-scarlet, purple or punch color. The first time buds appear in 3-4 years after seed landing. If this happens earlier, they are recommended to break - the bloom strongly depletes the young rapid plant.
On the room grenade at the same time you can see flowers and ripening fruits
Flowers are "male" or "female." The first play the role of pollinators, deprived of the pestle and the bells resemble the bells. The second is more like the pita, it is in them the fruits are tied. On average, "female" flowers formed three or five hundred. Flowering does not stop even during the aging of fruits.
The plant can be literally snapped with barriers, but he does not have enough forces to "feed" because of miniature dimensions. Therefore, it is recommended to leave 3-6 pieces, and the rest are deleted. The same is advised if Baby is grown only for blossoms. Fruiting strongly depletes the plant, for the next season it will not be so abundant and spectacular. Rose grenades closer to the middle of winter. It takes about six months.
The taste of the fruit of garnet Baibi depends on how much heat and light received a plant
At home, Babe's garnet is most often grown from seeds. They can be easily purchased in any specialized store. As practice shows, the germination is not bad, at 50-60%. Viable seeds can be obtained from independently grown fruits.
Predit-grown seeds of the room grenade are no worse than the purchased, obtained by the generative plant inherit the selection signs of the "parent"
Optimal conditions for the plant
The birthplace of a natural grenade is North Africa, therefore, as it is not difficult to guess, the plant is warm and light. This feature Inherited from the ancestors and room grade Baby. It is necessary to listen to its requirements regarding the microclimate, because bloom is possible only in optimal conditions. Also, it depends on how sweet the fruits will be and they will bloom completely.
Baby's grenade placed on the southern or southeast windowsill, there he will get enough light
Baby's light takes a lot, but at the same time it should be scattered. Especially carefully you need to protect young plants from direct sunlight. They are adapted to the permanent "place of residence" (the windowsill of the Southern or South-Eastern Window) gradually, starting from 2-3 hours a day. But also for adult copies in the hottest half, it is advisable to shaping. The pot can be covered with tulle, paper screen, gauze, blinds.
Requirements for lighting during the year of the pomegranate do not change, therefore, in order to provide a light day with a duration of 10-12 hours, in the fall and in winter (and in cloudy weather And in the summer) it will be needed. You can use special phytolambamps or ordinary fluorescent.
Phytolampa helps to extend the day day for indoor plant to the required 10-12 hours
Baby is very positive to fresh air. If the temperature on the street is suitable (25-30ºС), it can be safely taken to the loggia, a balcony, a veranda or terrace. In the presence of garden plot Plant for the summer sometimes even transplant in open sad Or cheer in a pot. It is advisable to place it so that from the West and the North grenades covered natural or artificial obstacles to protect against cold drafts. And the crown of a growing village of a tree will create the necessary half.
Baby's room grenade feels great on open airif the weather is suitable for him
Baby loves warmth, but not a strong heat. At temperatures above 35ºС, especially in combination with low humidity, it turns on the "protective mechanism": the grenade partially drops the leaves and practically ceases to grow.
In nature, the grenade blooms and fruits yearly, but at home he is needed "rest." People period lasts about four months, from November to February. The minimum time to ensure the change in the content conditions is 6 weeks.
The beginning of the rest period is easy to notice - the plant resets the leaves in whole or in part. At the same time, fruits, if they are, remain on branches. At the time of wintering, it provides a cool content (8-10ºС), cease to make feeding, and the number of polishes are reduced to one time in 3-6 weeks (it depends on the age of the plant and the size of the bush). If fruits are matured, the temperature should be slightly higher - 12-14ºС. A suitable place for pomegranate wintering is a glazed loggia. Critical minimum for Baby - 5-6ºС.
In winter, the room grenade Baby looks like this, it is completely normal for the plant
High humidity is not needed room grenade. In spraying, he needs only in a strong heat. During the rest of the time, the standard 50-60% will be fully arranged. You can still post next to the plant a special device for humidifying air or placing tanks with cool water. But the stool, like cold drafts, Baby does not like. Therefore, the room should be ventilated regularly, but carefully.
Spraying for indoor grenade - useful and pleasant, but not strictly mandatory procedure
Landing and transplant procedure
Most often at home, Baby Grenat is grown from seeds. They are acquired in any specialized store or get fruits from affected by an adult plant. In the latter case, they need to be carefully cleaned from the pulp (the remaining Oshmovka can become a source of development of rot). For landing, seeds of greenish color or soft to the touch are not suitable. The best time for the procedure is April or May.
Seeds can be removed from ordinary pomegranates purchased in the store. But such a plant will bloom at least seven or eight years after disembarking, and perhaps later. In addition, it will not fit into most modern apartments.
There is no special requirements for Baby's substrate. Its main conditions - neutral acid-alkaline balance (pH 7.0) and good aeration. Nevertheless, flowering and fruiting always takes a lot of strength in the plant, so the soil must also be nutritious. You can mix the soil alone from the porovna robust, black sooth or a turf, peat crumbs and large sand, but the store substrate is quite suitable, for example, for roses, begonias. Also a good option - soil for citrus fruits, mixed with clay and sand (3: 1: 1).
Special soil for roses is quite suitable for growing room grenade
The root system is even in adult plants superficial, so it is not necessary to purchase a volumetric wide pot. The correct container for indoor grenade is similar to a salad bowl or a deep plate. The pot of grenade should be scrupted - this contributes to the abundance of flowering. In too spacious tank, all the forces of the plant go to the development of the surrounding space.
A deep volumetric pot of Grenat Baby is not needed: it is better blooming when the roots are slightly close
In the very procedure of landing and further care There is nothing complicated:
- Seeds for 8-10 hours are soaked in a solution of any biostimulant (epin, zircon, humate potassium) so that it does not cover them entirely. Also suitable succinic acid And aloe juice.
- Small plastic cups are filled with freshly prepared sterilized substrate (a mixture of peat and large sand in approximately equal proportion). Previously need drainage holes in them. The layer of drainage is required 2-3 cm thick. The soil is moderately watered. For disinfection it is kept over the ferry, leave in freezer Or calcined in the oven.
- Seeds are planted in a container, bumping by 4-5 mm. The soil is sprayed from the sprayer, the pots are covered with glass or transparent film, creating a "greenhouse". Condensate often accumulates there, so it will be necessary to ventilate daily, opening for 5-7 minutes. Optimal conditions for seeds - dark place, Temperature about 25ºС, bottom heated.
- Shoots appear in about 12-16 days. As soon as it happened, the shelter can be removed. Capacity rearranged, providing a light day duration of 10-12 hours, as adult plants. Soil as drying is moisturized from the spray gun.
- Seeders with three pairs of real leaves transplanted into a pot of 7-8 cm with a diameter, filled with soil suitable for adult grenades. During the first two years of life, they need to be particularly carefully protected from direct sunlight. When they grow to 12-15 cm, the grenades are pinching, stimulating branching.
Baby grenade seed seeds give enough and friendly
Baby grenade grows fast enough. With the first transplant, it is enough to a potty of 0.5-0.7 liters. Then it is increased annually by another 0.5 liters. The plants that were six years old are considered adults and in the future increases do not need a pot. They are sufficiently tank with a volume of 4-5 liters. It is not necessary to increase it, but you will have to change the substrate once every 2-3 years. The transplant is carried out by the method of transshipment, trying to disturb fragile roots as much as possible.
The volume of the pot for the seedlings of the garnet Babei increase gradually, the capacity "on the gross" is not recommended
Room pomegranate needs regular trimming. Therefore, it is possible to reproduce it not only by seeds, but also vegetatively. The cutlets - the top of a fruitless escape of about 10 cm with five-six-six rude kidneys. The procedure for their rooting is almost no different from the extension of seeds, with the only difference that in the solution of the biostimulant, they are soaked for 4-6 hours.
The planting material for reproduction of the room pomegranate can be in abundance in the process of pruning the plant

Important nuances of plant care
Room grenade Baby variety deservedly considered unpretentious plant. Caring for him is even a beginner flower.
Despite the fact that the birthplace of the plant is the north of Africa, its main requirement is abundant watering. But it is impossible to overcoach the soil so that the roots do not start. To avoid stagnation of moisture in the pot, it is necessary to lay a layer of drainage to the bottom, and in about half an hour after each watering from the pallet, excess water is drained. Before the procedure, it is desirable to break the soil slightly.
The soil in the pot needs to be given to dry by 1.5-2 cm deep into, no more.
Most often, the fruits of the room grenade are cracking due to the too abundant irrigation
It is easy to check with a wooden stick or toothpick. In severe heat, the soil moisturizes every day or every other day, in more cool weather enough 2-3 times a week. The frequency is adjusted depending on the plant development phase. Pomegranates have just left the "hibernation", blooming - moderately (it helps to start the fruits). Those on which the fruits were formed - as the soil drying. It is important not to overdo they so that they do not crack. The filled plant is again watered abundantly - it forms it in autumn floral kidneys For the next year.
In nature, the grenade blooms in the midst of the drought season. Therefore, abundant watering at this time will lead to the fact that the plant will reset all buds.
Water for watering and spraying (in the heat you can also wipe the leaves) should be soft and heated to room temperature. Watering necessarily defend at least a day and add to it several lemon acid granules or 2-3 drops of apple vinegar per 10 liters. In general, the perfect option is rain, thaia or spring water. Approximately once a month it is replaced by a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate.
Potassium permanganate - an efficient and popular disinfectant, destroying many pathogenic fungi
During the actively active vegetation, Baby is fed every 12-14 days. The flowering and formation of fruit barriers take a lot of strength from the grenade, so the fertilizer is necessary, especially if a long time is standing overcast weather. Any complex means for flowering indoor plants that does not contain chlorine is suitable. This trace element strongly loosens the root system, which is not too powerful in a grenade.
Granat Baby needs regular feeding - abundant bloom strongly depletes the plant
In the spring to flowering, the garnet is necessarily 2-3 times watered with a solution of nitrogen-containing fertilizer. This macro-element stimulates the formation of the green mass. You can use those feeders that are usually used for garden plants - carbamide, ammonium salter, ammonium sulfate (2-3 g / l). At the same time, it is advisable to protect the plant by wrapped the bottom of the polyethylene film: the fertilizer caught on the bark often causes burns similar to the sunny. Flowering plant Most of all, phosphorus, fruitful - potassium. Any feeder is brought only to a wet soil in about an hour after irrigation.
Urbamide, like any other nitrogen-containing fertilizer, stimulates a room grenade to increasing the green mass
Good Babee reacts to organic fertilizers. Some flower products generally recommend using only them so that there are no nitrates in the fruits. In this case, you can water the plant with informs of fresh cow manure or avian litter, nettle leaves or dandelion, wood ash.
Pruning, including radical, Baby suffers very easily, as if not noticing "stress". It is impossible to neglect it - during the season, the bush may increase in the amount of more than twice. Thin shoots are intertwined so that it is almost impossible to divide them. Crown is very untidy, "chaotic". This worsens her aeration, creating favorable conditions For the development of many pathogenic fungi, pest attacks.
Trimming, including radical, room grenade transfers without problems
But even too much to zealous, it's not worth it - Baby buds are formed only on annual escapes. You can give a room grenade to any shape, here the flower water is limited only by its own fantasy. The most common option is a spherical bush. To do this, it is necessary to stimulate the branching of young plants, pouring each run by 3-5 cm (2-3 top kidneys).
Baby's grenade is well suited for bonsai formation
The procedure is carried out at the end of winter or at the beginning of the spring simultaneously with the return of Baby's grenade to the "place of registration". Adult copies on each of the shoots leave no more than five points of growth, cut off the branch directly above the last kidney.
Then get rid of all the root row. On skeletal shoots (there should be no more than five to seven), they gradually form the branches of the second and third order in the same quantity. Soothes at the age of five are cut to the point of growth, replacing new.
Baby's young grenades are characterized by growth rate, so pruning for them - a mandatory procedure

Baby suffers rarely from diseases and pests. The main risk threatening him - root rot, whose development often provokes the flowering, too often and / or abundantly watering the plant. If at the same time in the room is also cool, the pathogenic fungus will not make himself wait.
Granat, amazed by rot, almost stops in growth, the leaves are yellow. The bases of shoots are black, become slimy to the touch. From the soil goes nasty smell, it is often covered by mold.
Root rot - dangerous disease, in the appearance of which the owner of the room pomegranate is often to blame
Save the plant if the disease has come far, it is impossible. It remains only to throw it away. When the rot is noticed in the early stages, a radical trimming and transplanting with a complete replacement of the soil on the potted potted and sterilization can help.
All parts of the plant are removed, on which the slightest traces of the rotten rotten, capturing 3-4 mm of healthy tissue. The roots are washed in a bright pink potassium permanganate solution. Triphodermin or glyocladine is added to the transplanting ground.
How nice to see on the window in the cracking winter frosts blooming and fruiting southern plants. Now they are bred and feel the citrus, persimmon, pomegranates in room conditions. On the cultivation of the room grenade of the Baby variety, we will stop.
Low, quite compact, up to 50 cm high. The plant looks very effectively during flowering. Externally room grenade is very similar to his southern relative. The same emerald leaves, bright Punchy flowers and fruits - small garnets. Although flowers can be orange and even white color.
Reproduction of seeds
Baby fruits from walnut. Everything is also like a real one, only in miniature. Growing room grenade - more simple task Compared with breeding citrus. It can be prompted by seeds, while the germination of seeds is 50%. Granat "Baby", grown from seeds, does not require vaccination. Slow best in spring. Seeds are taken in advance from an adult fruiting plant, dried and stored in a dry place to sowing. In April-May bone laid in pots to a depth of 5 mm. Soil - sand, for drainage on the bottom put a little clay. We are covered with glass, film and in two weeks we will see seedlings - two round seedlings. When 3 pairs of leaves appear on the shootings, searched by pots. Soil for pomegranate landing: Biogumus-based soil or soil for citrus + clamzite + sand.
Reproduction of cuttings
Pomegranate breeds with cuttings, similar to citrus. Cuttings plant in the sand, downstairs necessarily drainage, cover plastic or glass jar. Soil should not save. Approximately a month from the kidneys appear shoots, and the plant is transplanted on permanent place. Growing fast, from 2, 3 years old, the plant begins to bloom and fruit.
Baby grenade care
Baby's room grenade is very unpretentious, care is not complicated. Like all southern plants grenades are demanding of watering. In the summer, more abundant, in winter, during the rest period - limited. But does not like the convergence. Slightly, by the way, the taste of pomegranate fruits is depends on the lighting, the hotter and the solar - the sweeter and redest fruits. The first flowers on a young grenade is better to plunder to enable the plant itself. Baby blooms very beautiful, abundantly, but not all the flowers form a ovary. In order for the strings to be more recommended manual pollination.
Fruits ripen for six months. In the active period, the grenade once every two weeks are fed by organic and complex fertilizer without chlorine, once a month - a weak solution of manganese.
Caring for a dwarf grenade also consists in forming a crown. The plant reacts painlessly on trimming and you can give it any form convenient for you: it can be a round bush or a tree. In the fall with a reduction in the duration of the light day for a grenade, the rest period begins. Watering is limited, feeding stops. He can even reset the leaves, while the fruits remain on the grenade.
For 1-2 months, the plant should be placed in a cool place away from heating devices. After the rest, the pot with a grenade is returned to the bright, warm room and renewing active watering. It is believed that after rest quickly restoring foliage, the pomegranate blooms better.
Useful properties of dwarf grenade
The fruits of a dwarf grenade, although small, are very similar to taste on real. They are very useful, they have a beneficial effect on digestion, they have an anti-inflammatory effect, in them a large content of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Thanks to the content of anthocyanov juice, the grenade increases hemoglobin.

Put the cuttings at an angle at a depth of 3 cm, covering the film. Every day the plant is ventilated, sprayed and watered. 2-3 months after landing, seedlings can begin to dive into single containers.
