1. Soil selection

Peach egg likes loose, breathable, well-drained, nutrient-rich sandy neutral or slightly acidic soil. For indoor potted plants , you can prepare the soil with peat, coarse sand and perlite in a ratio of 3:1:1.

2. Temperature management

The suitable temperature for peach eggs is 10-20 degrees. It is easier to color in autumn and winter due to the large temperature difference. It is recommended to shade when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees. The lowest temperature that the picture can withstand in winter is about 5 degrees. If it is below 5 degrees, please move it indoors for the winter, otherwise it will easily get frostbite.

3. Lighting conditions

If you want to keep the peach eggs in beautiful condition, sufficient light is very important. Usually, peach eggs are in the growth period except for a short dormancy in the summer. Therefore, in summer it is best to place the peach eggs in a place with diffuse light and avoid direct strong light. In other seasons, they can be exposed to full sunlight.

4. Watering tips

The peach egg plant is drought-resistant but afraid of moisture. Normally, water it thoroughly when the soil is dry to avoid water accumulation. You can insert your finger into the pot. If it is dry, you can water it. In addition, when the temperatures are high in summer and low in winter, the peach egg is in a semi-dormant state and requires less water. At this time, watering should be controlled to avoid root rot.

5. Reasonable fertilization

Peach egg plant does not have a high demand for fertilizer . It only needs a small amount of fertilizer during the growth period. The fertilizer should mainly be granular slow-release fertilizer. While fertilizing, you can also spray some chlorpyrifos in moderation, which can effectively prevent the stems of the peach egg plant from becoming too long and too leggy.

6. Pruning to prevent diseases

When the leaves of the peach egg plant turn yellow or wither, it is time to prune it. Cut off the yellow leaves and then spray carbendazim to disinfect the wounds. In addition, peach eggs rarely get sick. The main disease is root rot caused by excessive watering. The rotten parts should be removed in time and carbendazim powder should be applied for treatment.
