Below are some tips for growing Soursop trees in a container.

1, Planting

Ensure you plant a Soursop seedling that was propagated by Air layering or by grafting. Do not plant a Soursop seedling that has been propagated as a seed into a container.

Start with a container that is 35 liters in volume, and ensure it has drain holes at the bottom.

Use a soil that drains do not use a soil that does not drain easily, Soursop trees will not thrive when grown in a waterlogged soil.

Once you plant your young soursop tree into a container, ensure you place the container on bricks or blocks to lift up the bottom of the container from the bare floor or ground.

2, Watering

For the first 3 months give half a liter of water twice a day preferably in the later hours of the morning. Thereafter increase the watering by giving 1 liter of water twice a day until the tree is 6 months old (Morning and afternoon).

Once the tree is repotted into an 80 liter container, you will need to give 2 liters of water twice a day.

Avoid overwatering, overwatering causes root rot diseases like Phytophthora. Phytophthora is very difficult to control once it infects the Soursop tree.

3, Fertilizer requirements

Regularly apply well composted organic manure once every 2 weeks to the soil. I recommend using Cow or Goat manure for potted plants.
Apply 2 handfuls every 2 weeks for the first 3 months and thereafter 3 handfuls every 2 weeks until the plant is 6 months old.

After 6 months the tree will have to re potted into an 80 liter container to prevent the tree becoming root bound.

Once the tree has been repotted into an 80 liter container, applying 5 handfuls of organic manure every 2 weeks is recommended.

Apply a foliar fertilizer that has a Marco nutrient (Nitrogen Phosphorous & Potassium) ratio of 20:20:20 with additional Micronutrients (Zinc, boron, manganese, Molybdenum, Magnesium) once a month until the tree starts flowering.

Once the tree starts flowering apply a a foliar fertilizer that has a Marco nutrient (Nitrogen Phosphorous & Potassium) ratio of 6:13:46 with additional Micronutrients (Zinc, boron, manganese, Molybdenum, Magnesium) once a month.

Do not apply any chemical fertilizer to the soil.

4, Flowering & Fruit Production

Soursop trees produces hundreds of flowers during the flowering season. This flowers must be pollinated before they become fruits. Depending on your geographical location, you can either have efficient natural pollinators available to pollinate your soursop flowers or no efficient natural pollinators available to pollinate the flowers.

In the absence of natural pollinators your soursop tree will produce lots of flowers and they will all wither and fall off from the trees without producing any fruit.

The only solution to prevent withering and falling off of flowers is to pollinate the Soursop flower using the hand. I have a free training video on hand pollination listed in the comment section.

With hand pollination you can successful pollinate almost all the flowers produced by the tree.

5, Pest and Disease Management

Soursop trees like all fruit trees will be infected and infested with different types of pests and diseases. However all the pest and diseases can be controlled using the proper pest and diseases management techniques.

Common pests of Soursops are Aphids, Mealybugs, Stemborers, Caterpillars and fruit flies. I have included a video in the comment sections that shows these pests and how to control them.

Common diseases of Soursop are Anthracnose & Phytophthora, I have included a video in the comment sections that shows the symptoms of this diseases and how to control them.

Airayered soursop will start producing fruits within a year of planting

Italian farmers are building a seed network to fight GMOs and corporate control.

This is how small farmers across Italy are banding together to help save seeds:

The project has the name “Casa Diffusa dei Semi,” the Distributed Seed House.

Here’s the concept:

A network of growers who save, reproduce, and share seeds completely free of patents and genetic modification, an alternative to a corporate system controlled by just four companies that hold over half the world’s seed supply.

On August 7th, this five-year-old network gathered at a farmhouse in the Marche hills to teach people how to save, trade, and pass down seeds no company can patent.

The event sold out in a single week, after one Facebook post drew over 1,600 sign-ons in just days.

The timing is key here, given two months earlier, the European Parliament voted to deregulate a new category of genetically modified crops, eliminating mandatory risk assessment, traceability, and labeling, while opening the door to patents on conventionally bred plants too.

Twenty Italian organizations publicly condemned the vote, warning it would only tighten corporate control over the world’s seed supply.

So instead of waiting on lawmakers, these farmers built their own seed system.

Let’s take this as inspiration in America, and support the farmers protecting seed freedom. You can find them on Localize.

Last year, we cultivated ginger in the 2hectares of farmland and we have been harvesting since November till this moment.

PSX_20260718_234225.jpg (Size: 117.74 KB / Downloads: 2)

Here is what you need to know and how lucrative the ginger is right now.

This particular space covers just two plots of land where we had some huge harvests.

Two plots gave us more than 45 bags of freshly harvested ginger.

Here is our expenditure: manpower for these 2 plots is just 200k, chemical we bought to cover the two plots should be about 100k, seedlings three to six bags which amount to 600k, finally let's put general maintenance at 300k

We have a total of N2,000,000 capital expenditure.

In less than 8 months our ginger is ready for harvest and currently selling at 340k per bag.

Currently, we have harvested more than 40 bags from that space and still have some little space to give us 5 to 10 bags.

Let's even assume you harvested 40 bags from 2 plots and are selling at roughly 280k to competing the market.

You will be having total sales at ; 11,200,000 minus your capital = 9,200,000 profit from investment of 7 months with a capital of 2m.

This is just 2 plots of land let alone people that farm in hectares, they're making hell of unimaginable profit.

Lastly, if you decide to add value to it, you will eventually make more profit and yes no yahoo boy can see the type of money in these crops.

I'm working on a 20 foot container of ginger and targeting my profit to be $50,000 when the container arrives. 40 foot can gives you $100,000 plus comfortably

NB; you must select the best seeds and best soil that befit this else you are born to fail and cry. Plus learn with enough practical experience ✍️✍️

Anyone who understands this business secures buyers long before harvest. The people shouting online about “who will buy?” have either not planted, planted too little to matter, or never moved beyond wishful thinking.

The truth many avoid is this: ginger money is not made on the farm. It is made in coordination, processing, timing, and access. Small farmers are everywhere, but serious buyers do not chase villages. Exporters, processors, and large traders want one dependable supplier who can deliver volume and quality.

Some people aggregate. Some process through third parties. Some trade price differences across regions. Others earn by connecting farmers to buyers without touching ginger at all. That is where intelligence beats effort.

And sourcing buyers is not social media noise. Posting produce online every day is not marketing. Most serious agripreneurs already have buyers offline; they post for visibility, leverage, or better options.

Real ginger buyers are export companies, processors, and end users. You search them out, write to them, visit their offices, present samples and pictures, and close deals. Ginger sells itself. What fails is not the produce — it is the mindset behind it.

Typical Hibiscus Calendar in Nigeria

Activity Period

Land preparation April – June
Planting May – July
Flowering August – October
Harvesting of calyces September – April
Peak market/export season November – April

Major Producing States

Most export-grade hibiscus is produced in:

Kano

Jigawa

Kaduna

Bauchi

Katsina

Gombe

Borno

These northern states supply most of Nigeria's export-quality hibiscus.

For Exporters

If you are sourcing hibiscus for export, the best buying period is typically November to February, when fresh harvest volumes are highest, quality is generally better, and prices are often more competitive. As stocks decline toward the end of the season (March–April), prices may rise.

A whole of people regularly ask for Dwarf fruit tree seedlings. Dwarf fruit trees are trees that will produce fruits while their height is below 8 feet tall. These trees also produces fruits very early sometimes as early as 6 months after planting.

There are very few fruits trees that are naturally dwarf, however there are some natural propagation techniques that will enable you to produce fruits trees which will produce fruits without growing into very big trees.

Below are the common propagation techniques used in producing Dwarf trees.

1, Air layering: Air layering or marcotting is a form of asexual plant propagation whereby new plants are formed on a stem while still being attached to the parent plant. The air layered stem produces roots after some weeks. There is a video that explains Air layering below.

2, Grafting: Grafting is a form of asexual plant propagation where the stem of a desired variety (Scion) is joined to a plant with an established root system (Rootstock) from the same specie. Once the joining is successful both the Scion and the Rootstock will grow into a single tree.

3, Budding: Budding is a form of asexual plant propagation where a single bud from a desired variety (Scion) is inserted or attached to a plant with an established root system (Rootstock) from the same specie. Once the bud has been successfully attached both the Scion and the Rootstock will grow into a single tree.

4, Cutting: Cutting is an asexual plant reproduction method where a vegetative part (stem, leaf, or root) is cut off from a parent plant and induced to regenerate roots and shoots, forming a new plant.

You may be wondering which of the following methods is the best, I personally prefer Air layering due to the fact that you only need a single tree and the Air layered stem would have produced its on root system before being removed from the parent tree.

If you want the new plant to produce fruits very early like within a year you need to ensure that you perform this propagation techniques on fruit trees that are already producing fruits.
Below are some tips to ensure that the "Dwarf" fruit tree maintains its desired height.

1, Planting the "Dwarf" in a container will prevent the tree from growing into a large tree over time.

2, Pruning the "Dwarf" tree to your desired height ensures the tree will not grow taller than the desired height. Ensure that you sanitise your pruning equipment before using it.

3, If you plant in the ground you will need to prune more often. This is due to the fact that the ground offers a much large amount of nutrients and the roots system is not confined or restricted like when planted in a container.

Below are some key benefits:

1. Containers give you flexibility. You can easily rearrange your fruit trees within your garden to improve spacing, sunlight, or overall layout.

2. They are ideal for rented homes. You can take your fruit trees with you when you move, instead of leaving them behind.

3. Containers make it possible to grow fruit trees in homes with paved outdoor spaces where planting in soil is not an option.

4. They allow you to grow fruit trees even in areas with poor or waterlogged soil.

5. You can grow multiple fruit trees in a small space, making efficient use of limited areas.

6. Container growing helps control tree size, preventing them from becoming too large and making maintenance easier.

7. In regions with harsh weather, containers allow you to move trees to safer locations during unfavorable conditions such as winter or storms.

8. You have better control over soil quality, nutrients, and drainage, which can lead to healthier plants and improved fruit yield.

Macronutrients (also come from air and water): Carbon ©, Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K).

Secondary nutrients: Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sulfur (S).

Micronutrients: Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Boron (B), Molybdenum (Mo), Chlorine (Cl), Nickel (Ni).

Most normal fertilizers (NPK) only give nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This is not enough for full plant growth.

Plants also need other nutrients to stay healthy and avoid problems like poor growth, weak stems, and low fruit production.

You can get these extra nutrients from compost, manure, micronutrient sprays, or complete fertilizers.

Manure will take care of many macro and secondary nutrients, supplying elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur in a more balanced and natural form.

It also improves soil structure, enhances water retention, and supports beneficial microbial activity, all of which contribute to healthier plant growth.

But manure alone may not give enough micronutrients, so extra feeding may still be needed depending on your soil and plants.

Conclusion

In addition to NPK, use enough manure and spray foliar fertilizer (the ones with micronutrients) weekly. If you can, include potassium sulphate and calcium nitrate in the foliar fertilizer. Do this if you want bumper harvest.]]>

All the fruit trees I cultivate are naturally propagated through methods such as air layering, grafting, or budding. What many people are unaware of is that I have dedicated numerous years to employing natural clonal selection to identify fruit trees of the utmost quality. At times, I can grow as many as 50 fruit trees from a single parent tree, and I wait for them to begin producing fruits. I meticulously choose the trees exhibiting the best morphological and physiological traits for our mass propagation program. My primary method for natural clonal selection is air layering.

The reason many individuals continue to harvest small fruits from seeds of large fruits is that planting numerous fruit trees from seeds does not yield the same quality of trees and fruits as the parent tree and its fruits. For instance, if you plant seeds from a pomegranate weighing 650 grams, the resulting trees will only produce fruits weighing 150 grams or less. Conversely, if you plant a pomegranate that was air layered from a tree producing fruits that weigh 650 grams, the resulting tree will produce fruits weighing 650 grams or more.

To obtain a tree that will yield large fruits, ensure you plant a tree that has been propagated from the desired tree through air layering, grafting, budding, or cutting.

According to official reports, the programme is scheduled to take off from the 2026 wet farming season, with at least 2,000 farmers per state expected to participate. Farmers involved are to be supported with quality clove seedlings and basic production inputs to help establish plantations.

Cloves are one of the highest-value spice crops globally, used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and essential oil production. Despite this, Nigeria does not currently produce cloves commercially, and most of the cloves consumed locally are imported from Cameroon and other countries.

The FG’s objective is to diversify agricultural exports, reduce dependence on imports, and position Nigeria to tap into the multi-billion-dollar global clove market. If well implemented, the programme could create long-term income for farmers, since clove trees are perennial and productive for decades once established.

However, success will depend heavily on proper seed quality, suitable growing zones, farmer training, extension support, and long-term commitment, because cloves take several years before full commercial yield. Without these, the programme may struggle.
If done right, this could mark Nigeria’s entry into a crop that has remained largely untapped despite its strong global demand and profitability.]]> <![CDATA[2026: Don’t waste your money cultivating rice, maize, soybeans, wheat, or millet]]> http://farmersjoint.com/thread-31388.html Sun, 04 Jan 2026 23:39:35 +0000 Henlus]]> http://farmersjoint.com/thread-31388.html
