How to cultivate mountain peach blossom

1. Soil

Mountain peach blossom is more suitable for cultivation in sandy soil with deep soil layer, medium soil fertility, loose soil and good drainage performance. Avoid continuous cropping, otherwise it will cause the nematodes to multiply and toxic and harmful substances to accumulate, leading to the degeneration of the variety and slow growth.

2. Temperature

From the formation of various flower organs to flowering, a low temperature stage of about 40 days is essential. After it has fully dormant, move it to the greenhouse and slowly warm it up. Avoid heating it up too quickly, otherwise it will affect the viewing effect.

3. Lighting

Adequate light and lighting should be maintained all year round. Adequate sunlight can promote its metabolism, making the mountain peach flowers it blooms during its flowering period higher in quality and greater in quantity. Otherwise, developmental delay or even growth withering may occur.

4. Fertilization

Fertilization of mountain peach should be gradual. The application of N fertilizer should be controlled when it is a young plant. After it grows up, the application of N fertilizer should be appropriately increased to make the branches and trunks thick and the growth vigorous. In the later stage, top dressing should be applied in time according to the condition of the plants.

5. Watering

A slightly humid environment is beneficial to its health, and water supply should be guaranteed. The amount of watering should be increased during the first watering, and then just make sure the soil is moist. After the temperature rises suddenly, water should be poured once every morning. During the rainy season, attention should be paid to drainage to prevent the occurrence of root disorder.
