Step 5: Transplanting
- Larger Pot: Once the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them to a larger pot to allow for growth.
- Soil: Use a rich, well-draining soil mix and ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes.
Step 6: Regular Care
- Sunlight: Place the pot in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Watering: Water the tree regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
- Fertilization: Feed the cherry tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer, following the package instructions.
Step 7: Pruning and Training
- Pruning: Prune the cherry tree to maintain its shape, removing any dead or diseased branches.
- Training: Train the tree to a suitable form by staking and tying, if necessary, to encourage upward growth.
Step 8: Monitoring
- Pest and Disease Control: Regularly check for signs of pests and diseases, applying organic or chemical controls as necessary.
- Overwintering: If you live in a region with harsh winters, consider bringing the pot indoors or providing protection to the tree during the cold months.
