Whether you chose the standard pomegranate plant of 20-30 cm or the dwarf pomegranate of 70 cm, you’ve brought home a special fruit plant. But what now? In this blog, you’ll read exactly what to do after receiving it and how to keep your plant healthy and happy – even if it looks a bit bare in winter. 😉
Your plant has just been through a journey. Give it a calm spot with plenty of light, but no direct sunlight during the first week. Let it gradually get used to its new environment. Place your plant on a bright windowsill or in a greenhouse and only water a little if the soil feels dry.
Repotting is allowed but not necessary. The plant is in a well-aerated mix, often based on pumice, perlite, and coconut fiber, which ensures good drainage and a healthy root environment. If you want to repot, use a light substrate and a pot with drainage holes.
Don’t be alarmed if your pomegranate plant loses its leaves in autumn or winter. This is part of its natural cycle: the plant is deciduous and will come back to life in spring. During this period, place it in a bright spot indoors or in a cold greenhouse and water sparingly. As the days get longer, you’ll see new shoots appear.
The Punica Granatum likes slightly moist soil but cannot tolerate waterlogged roots. So first check the top layer of the soil before watering. During the growing season (spring/summer), you can feed it once a month with organic fertilizer (such as nitrozyme), but be careful not to over-fertilize. Prefer something organic and mild, like liquid fertilizer or a diluted seaweed solution.
