1. Is it good to keep it at home?

Peach blossoms are very suitable for growing at home. This plant is not only beautiful but also has a fragrance. It is generally more suitable to be planted in the courtyard. If there is no yard, you can also plant it as a bonsai. Although it restricts the growth and development of the plant, through proper pruning and shaping, it can also make it more unique and is a very good decoration.

2. How to grow potted plants

1. Soil: The first thing to pay attention to when planting peach blossoms in pots is the soil. Generally, loose and fertile sandy loam should be selected. If the soil becomes severely alkaline or too sticky, it will affect the growth and respiration of the roots and will be detrimental to the development of the plant. You can also use leaf mold, garden soil and river sand to prepare potting soil, which can also meet the growth requirements of the plant.

2. Light: Peach blossom is a light-loving plant, so it must be planted in a sunny place. For potted plants, you can put them in a place with sufficient light. At home, they are usually kept on the balcony so that they can receive sufficient light. Its daily light exposure time cannot be less than 8 hours, otherwise its development will be affected due to insufficient light, and a dark environment will cause it to grow too tall.

3. Watering: Peach blossoms are drought-resistant to a certain extent, so they do not need to be watered too much. Generally, water the plant after the soil is dry. Water the plant thoroughly each time, but do not allow water to accumulate. If you accidentally get caught in the rain, you need to drain the accumulated water in the pot to avoid waterlogging. Long-term waterlogging can cause root rot and affect plant growth.

4. Fertilization: Peach blossoms require certain nutrients to grow. In addition to applying base fertilizer during planting, fertilizer should also be applied frequently during the growth period. Usually during the branch and leaf growth stage, nitrogen fertilizer is used to promote development. Before flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added to promote flowering. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should also be applied before winter so that the plants can survive the winter.
