Can peach trees be potted?

Peach trees can be potted. Bonsai peach trees are mostly for ornamental purposes. The plants have beautiful shapes and high ornamental value. The main varieties chosen are Yangtun Giant Peach, Xinchuan Zhongdao, Zhongtao No. 21, etc.

The size of the pot for potted peach trees needs to be determined according to the size of the plant. The diameter of the pot should be slightly larger than the soil ball. If properly maintained, the potted peach tree can also bloom and bear fruit.

How to grow peach trees in pots

1. Lighting

Potted peach trees need sufficient sunlight during their growth period. The longer they receive sunlight, the faster the peach trees grow, which is also conducive to their later flowering and fruiting.

2. Pruning

Peach trees need to be pruned when new shoots sprout in the second year. The main branches should be pulled to a certain angle, and then the trees should be shaped by bending and circling the branches. This can promote the growth and fruiting of the trees.

3. Fertilization

Peach trees need to be fertilized frequently during the cultivation period. Starting from June, the main fertilizer should be potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution, but the specific amount used depends on the fertility of the potting soil.

4. Soil

Potted peach trees are more suitable to be planted in loose, fertile soil that is easily irrigated. The soil must be disinfected before planting to eliminate potential insect eggs.

5. Moisture

Peach trees need a lot of water during the seedling stage, and it is best to water them three times a day. However, the plants are not tolerant to waterlogging, so the amount of water must be controlled when watering, and the soil must not be left in a state of waterlogging.
