The time for repotting peach blossoms is generally in spring and autumn. The spring time is from April to May, and the autumn time is from September to October. Stop watering before repotting and allow the soil to dry out, making it easier to remove the pot. Take the plant out of the pot, trim the old and dead roots with scissors, and spray with carbendazim to disinfect. Prepare loose and fertile new soil, place the plant in the pot, and fill it with new soil.

1. Repotting time

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

2. Stop water and loosen soil

Before repotting the peach blossoms, you need to stop watering and let the soil gradually dry out. If the soil is too wet, the roots may be easily damaged when removing the pot. After the soil dries, loosen the soil along the inner wall of the flower pot to separate the pot wall from the pot soil, and then gently remove the plant from the pot. Be careful when removing the pot to avoid damaging the roots.

3. Root pruning and disinfection

After unpotting the peach blossoms, you need to remove part of the old soil from the roots and check the growth of the roots. If there are old or dead roots, cut them off in time to avoid them from rotting and affecting the growth of the plant. After pruning, spray carbendazim or apply plant ash to sterilize and prevent wound infection.

4. Planting in pots

Prepare loose, fertile soil to facilitate root breathing and growth. Place the plant upright in the pot and fill it with soil. After potting, water it thoroughly to replenish the water in the previous dry period. At the same time, place it in a semi-shady place to avoid being exposed to strong light. Wait until the plant resumes growth before performing normal maintenance.
