When does peach blossom bloom?

1. Flowering period

The flowering period of peach blossoms depends largely on the temperature of the environment.

In early spring, if the average temperature remains above 10℃ for many consecutive days, the peach buds will begin to bloom. If the temperature rises to around 15℃, all the peach flowers will bloom. This is also the time when the peach flowers are most beautiful, and this period will last about 15 days. If the temperature continues to rise during the peak flowering period, the flowering period will be shortened, sometimes to about a week.

Corresponding to the specific months, generally speaking, peach blossoms begin to bloom around March 10th every year, and the weather gradually warms up around mid-March, and the peach blossoms enter their peak flowering period. After late March, the weather generally warms up, and the flowers begin to slowly wither and enter the flower-cherishing period.

2. Maintenance during flowering

1. Lighting

After the peach blossoms are in full bloom, in order to maintain a longer flowering period, in addition to some unchangeable conditions, some artificial methods can be used to extend the flowering period. For example, after the flowers bloom, be careful not to place the peach blossoms in a shady and damp place, because if the newly bloomed peach blossoms do not have sufficient light, the leaves will not get enough nutrients and will easily fall off the branches.

2. Watering

The watering of peach blossoms during the flowering period also needs to be controlled. Do not over-water. It is best to keep the soil dry, loose and ventilated, and loosen the soil for the trees frequently to help the roots breathe. If water accumulates in the soil, it is likely to cause root hypoxia. In the case of long-term lack of oxygen, the peach tree will also be harmed, which may cause all the flowers to fall off.

3. Soil

In addition, you should also pay attention to the pH of the soil. Peach blossoms prefer to grow in a slightly acidic environment. If the soil is too alkaline, it will be difficult for the roots to absorb iron, making it difficult for the flowers to bear fruit, affecting the normal growth of the peach blossoms in the next year.
