Indoor/Outdoor

 

Pomegranates can be grown indoors or out. If they are inside, make sure they have plenty of light near a window. Pomegranate do not however like the cold, keep protected from frost. They tend to be semi-deciduous if kept outside but when kept indoors they can remain evergreen depending on the temperature of that particular winter.





Watering

 

Pomegranates tend to be quite thirst but need well drained soil. Water well in summer, slightly reduce water amounts in winter when losing a few leaves. While fruiting the plant will need a little more water in order for the fruits to swell.





Re-Potting

 

Remember a pomegranate needs good drainage so have about 50% gravel with 50% potting soil. Plants should be re-potted every two to three years. Re-pot in early spring just as all the new buds start to form.





Training

 

Pomegranates seem to feel very flexible when wiring but seem to break unexpectedly. However they do shape well with wiring. Pomegranates are great for beginners because they grow vigorously allowing continuous trimming and pinching out of new shoots.
