How to make peach pits germinate quickly

Peach pit germination environment

Take out the seeds from the peach, clean the surface flesh, take out the seeds and sow them, or keep them in a dry environment and wait for sowing.

Peaches are light-loving, drought-resistant and cold-resistant. They prefer slightly acidic and slightly alkaline soils. They grow poorly in soils with a pH value below 4.5 or above 7.5. Their leaves will turn yellow easily if they are cultivated for a long time in alkaline soil. They grow best on loose soil, well-drained, sunny and sheltered slopes or sandy slopes.

Peach pit germination process

The growth process of peaches is from germination to leaf fall and dormancy. After the leaf buds sprout in spring, new shoots begin to grow. There are 2-3 growth peaks during the entire growth period. The first growth peak is in April and May, which gradually weakens in mid-May. The second growth peak is in May and June. At the same time, the new shoots begin to lignify during this period, and the growth of new shoots slows down at the end of June.

Direct planting of peach pits

Peach pit seeds can germinate if planted directly, but it is best to do a germination treatment. When the fruit is ripe, harvest and remove the seeds, soak them in hot water for 1 hour, and then sow them in sandy loam, and they will germinate soon.

How to Germinate Peach Stones

One is to soak the seeds in cold water to accelerate germination. This method can be used for seeds that have been treated with low-temperature stratification for about 70 days. If the seeds have not germinated before sowing, they can be placed in cold water for 3-5 days, changing the water every day. Then expose them to the sun for 2 to 3 hours, and then cover them with warm materials to keep them warm and moist until the seeds germinate and can be sown.

The second is to soak the seeds in warm water, which is suitable for seeds that have not been stratified. Soak the seeds in warm water 30 days before sowing, stir continuously until they cool, then soak them in cold water for 2-3 days, and then mix them with wet sand for short-term stratification treatment, provide an environment of 20-25 degrees for germination, and sow them when the buds sprout.

Peach pit germination planting

Peach seeds can be sown in spring or autumn. Spring is generally from January to March, and autumn is generally from November to December. Take out the seeds from the peach, clean them and soak them in water, usually for 5-7 days. Do not use seeds with serious insect pests. After preparing the soil, put the seeds in and cover them with soil.
