So the time to prepare Mogra for giving abundant flowers in summer is February only. In such a situation, gardening expert Kavita Joshi has given information about the care of Mogra and giving 2 free fertilizers. If you want your mogra to be laden with flowers, then you can try the easy and free tips shared by the gardener.
What to do after dormancy
As soon as the weather starts getting hot in February, understand that the period of dormancy is coming to an end. At this time, first of all you have to prune the plant. If you want the plant to grow like a vine, leave the long branches. On the other hand, if you want to give it a round shape, then cut off the extra branches. During this time, you must sanitize the cutter used for pruning so that there is no risk of infection spreading.
How to protect yourself from fungal infection
After cutting, if there is a risk of fungus growing on the cut ends, then there is a solution for this also. To avoid fungus, you can use a good fungicide. If you want to adopt a natural method, you can also apply a little healthy paste on the cut areas. With its help, it will become easier for the plant to grow well by protecting it from diseases.
weeding and root cleaning
Never make the mistake of applying any fertilizer directly to the plants. First, lightly loosen the soil in the pot, so that air can reach the roots. While weeding, if you see a dense network of roots, remove them carefully. If your plant is too big for the pot then you can also repot it. Fresh soil helps in increasing the growth of the plant.
Leaf fertilizer, free nutrition
According to gardening expert Kavita Joshi, leaf compost is best for Mogra. Being rich in nitrogen, it helps in producing new green leaves and branches in the plant. After weeding in February, spread a layer of leaf manure around the roots. It improves the soil texture and is helpful in retaining moisture for a long time.
banana peel powder
To produce lots of flowers in Mogra, phosphorus and potassium are required, which are found in banana peel. So instead of throwing away banana peels, dry them. After that prepare powder by grinding it in mixer. After adding leaf fertilizer, add one to 2 spoons of banana peel powder. This natural booster helps in producing more buds. After adding this fertilizer, cover it with soil.

balance of sunlight and water
After applying fertilizer, care must also be taken as to where to keep the plant. Actually, to increase the number of flowers of Mogra, a lot of energy is required, hence keep the plant where it gets at least 5-6 hours of direct and full sunlight. Without sunlight the buds will not come. After adding fertilizer, immediately water it lightly, so that the fertilizer gets set in the soil. After this, water in February only when the soil surface is dry.
