What kind of soil should I use?

Hey this is really cool Melvin! I rarely eat pomegranates, but you have implored me to try them once again. Just wondering if you will transplant them into their own individual pots once they get larger? I've just subscribed. Keep up the good work!

that's pretty good growth considering the time bro

[@GraftingTactick]

Looks so good and healthy 💕🍃🌱🌴🌿🌲

I look forward to seeing how this series continues. I've been growing a few plants of this wonderful fruit for a few years and I must say, it really doesn't like growing like a tree. I left one to grow however it wants and it looks much more like a bush or weeping willow. I've been cutting the other ones such that they have a nice, thick stem, just like other fruit trees do, but it is pretty hard to keep it straight. It always grows several long but not too strong vertical branches which will bend if you keep them too long, so I keep the best one as the main stem and cut the others. However, the growth of the new stem always slows down and many side branches form from it and start to overtake it again. And that repeats. I would like to have it tree like though, so I will continue doing that and hopefully it will grow strong over time.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Lots of the fruiting plants that I grew from seed without having seen in adult form end up growing as vines or fall over easily, which is irritating because I like trees or bushes with rigid structure and thick hard stems and branches.

Same experience here,

I got 3 out of 10 😢 but I got 3! They aren’t as big as these yet but they do have the second leaves coming it. Mind you I’m in a zone 5 and it’s middle of winter (20 degrees or lower) I have them in my room under my tv with a LED light strip on them. Doing well! Using the hydrogen peroxide mixture but because it’s a little colder they are growing slow. I pray I they make it!! 🤞🏽 Edit: I was thinking of using your mango seed water, would that be a good idea? They are just now pushing the second set of leaves out. Like the first pomegranate video.

[@onesyphorus]

no drainage? that was the elephant in the room that made me reconsider my past actions/attempts at germination and the next 3 months afterwards

[@onesyphorus]

i had a year old plant that had kept one cotelydon!

"southern cali, cold" lulz come to the north east we,re about to get 18+ inches of snow north of nyc. cool videos tho thumbs and a new sub for ya dude. ever see the pomagranate bonsai,ed? they end up with mini fruit and leafs. gonna try from seed under my lights till spring. they will grow in my hardiness zone (6a) some types are better for colder zones. cant hurt to try. those l e d lights should be way closer you knew that tho. im old school indoor HPS 1000 watt full spec still running my ebb and grow setup

[@TheMelvinWei]

Pomegranate regenerates from damage really fast so it's well suited to be a bonsai. I didn't know people did that.

[@AlpacaEmpress]

How are these looking? :)

[@pbarnes171]

Very informative, I appreciate the details you share about what worked for you and what didn't. How did the pomegranates deal with the transplanting stress? I'm starting some seeds this week not sure how sensitive they are to root disturbances.

[@TheMelvinWei]

Not too well, I'm going to do another transplant into a half clay soil half sand mix to see if that helps fix the malaise.

[@JustBeYouooh]

Can’t you just use potty mix?

[@palmy9940]

Hey Melvin! Will the seed grown pomegranate trees flower and set fruit? Cheers

[@TheMelvinWei]

Yes, but to get identical fruit to the parent tree the only way is to take a cutting. This is just for fun; if I make it to the fruiting stage someday the fruit quality could be different from the original pomegranate I ate.

[@palmy9940]

@Melvin Wei, Thanks!

[@kikoappstorebojo6011]

For transplantion like that i would sugest you to put just clean dirt at the botom of the container and at the top sand and dirt mix, so when you are transplantig them the dirt at the bottom will stick to the roots and the plant over time will mix the first dirt with the new dirt and it shouldnt have high risk of death

[@soniamarshall9293]

If the soil is soft try pulling one or two and transplant in a bigger pot.

[@soniamarshall9293]

Cut the container and carefully lift the soil/plant out. Oh you are doing it!

[@thor4594]

I would have done peat pods easy peasy!

[@JustBeYouooh]

But you’ll end up with 7 trees! Then what?
