Peach blossom cultivation methods and precautions, how to cultivate and care for peach blossoms

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: Peach blossoms grow well in soft and fertile soil. Good drainage can prevent the roots from being flooded and also helps their breathing. Generally, a mixture of leaf mold, river sand and garden soil is needed. Some broken tiles can also be placed at the bottom of the pot to allow moisture to drain as quickly as possible.

2. Light: Peach blossom is a light-loving plant, so it must be provided with sufficient light, with the light time reaching no less than 8 hours a day. If the environment is too dark, the plant will easily grow too tall, which will not only look unsightly but also affect its flowering.

3. Watering: Peach blossoms have a certain degree of drought resistance and do not require much water, so they do not need too much watering. Check the dryness of the soil in the pot regularly. If the topsoil is dry, it means you can water it. The soil should be kept slightly moist during the growing season and a little drier in winter.

4. Fertilization: When planting peach blossoms in pots, base fertilizer needs to be applied first. The base fertilizer is usually applied to the bottom of the pot, so that nutrients can be continuously provided. During its growing period, top dressing is generally done once every 20 days, with mostly dilute liquid fertilizers. Before flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should also be added to promote flowering of the plant.

2. Precautions

When growing peach blossoms, you must pay attention to controlling the amount of watering and fertilization. Excessive water or fertilizer can easily cause the roots of the plants to rot. In this case, you need to remove the plants from the pots and prune them in time, and change the soil and replant them. In addition, you cannot use tap water directly for watering. You need to let it dry for a few days to allow the chlorine in the water to evaporate before using it.
