Can peach trees be watered during flowering period (with key points for management during flowering period)

1. Can I water the plants during the flowering period?

1. Ground-planted plants: Generally, ground-planted peach trees do not need to be watered during the flowering period. Because it is relatively drought-resistant, short-term water shortage will not affect its growth and flowering. Moreover, the temperature is still relatively low at this time. If you water it too much, it may cause it to freeze and cause the flowers to wither. However, if the soil is really dry, you may need to water it slightly to prevent it from dehydrating.

2. Plants in pots: If it is a potted plant, it is best to water it during the flowering period. Because potted plants are usually kept indoors, the temperature will not be very low. Even if you water it, it will not freeze. Moreover, providing it with an appropriate amount of water during the flowering period can also prolong its flowering time.

2. How to manage the flowering period

1. Control the temperature: In an environment between 12-14℃, its flowers can bloom longer. Therefore, during maintenance, you must adjust the temperature and try to control it within this range. Don't let the temperature get too low, or it may drop its flowers prematurely.

2. Thin out the flowers: If there are too many flowers on the plant, it may lack nutrients, causing the flowers to wither prematurely. Therefore, it is best to thin out the flower buds that are too concentrated in time. This will not only prolong the flowering period, but also be beneficial for its fruiting.
