Is peach and plum bonsai easy to grow?

1. Is it easy to raise?

Peach plum is a relatively light-loving plant. It has good drought tolerance and can also grow in low temperatures. However, it is afraid of waterlogging, so it is not suitable for planting in places with frequent rainy weather. However, bonsai can be placed indoors, avoiding this problem.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Peach plum is suitable for growing in loose and fertile soil. You can use a mixture of leaf mold and garden soil as the substrate, and add a small amount of sand to enhance the drainage of the flowerpot. It is not advisable to use soil with heavy viscosity, otherwise it will be detrimental to the root system.

2. Light: Peach plum is a plant that likes light. Potted plants should be placed in a sunny place indoors to receive long-term sunlight. Moreover, summer is the peak growth period, and the demand for light is higher at this time. Do not provide shade to avoid affecting flowering and fruiting.

3. Watering: Peach Plum is relatively drought-resistant, but is very afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, you must not water too much to avoid flooding the roots and causing rot. Generally, water the soil after it is dry to avoid it being wet for a long time.

4. Fertilization: The growth of peach and plum cannot be separated from sufficient nutrients. During the growing season, compound fertilizer should be applied every 15 days, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be sprayed in June and July to promote fruit growth.
