When should peach blossoms be repotted? What kind of soil is best for peach blossoms?

1. Time to change pots

Peach blossom repotting is usually done in spring or autumn. Repotting is done in spring from April to May, and in autumn from September to October. Repotting must be done on a sunny day. If the weather is cloudy and the air humidity is very high, it will easily affect the recovery of the plant. The reason for repotting in spring and autumn is mainly because the climate is mild, which helps the plants adapt to the new potting soil.

2. Stop watering and loosen the soil

Before repotting the peach blossom, you need to stop watering and let the soil dry gradually. If the soil is too moist, the roots may be damaged when the plant is removed from the pot. After the soil becomes dry, loosen the soil along the inner wall of the flowerpot to separate the pot wall and the soil, and then gently take the plant out of the pot. Be careful when removing the plant from the pot to avoid damaging the roots.

3. Root pruning and disinfection

After removing the peach blossom from the pot, you need to remove some of the old soil at the roots and check the growth of the roots. If there are old and dead roots, they must be cut off in time to prevent them from rotting and affecting the growth of the plant. After pruning, spray carbendazim or apply wood ash to kill bacteria and disinfect to prevent wound infection.

4. Planting in pots

Prepare loose and fertile soil, which is conducive to the breathing and growth of the roots. Place the plant upright in the pot and fill it with soil. After potting, water it thoroughly to replenish the moisture during the previous dry period. At the same time, place it in semi-shaded place to avoid strong light. Wait until the plant resumes growth before carrying out normal maintenance.
