4. Precautions

Peach blossoms need fertilization in spring, summer and autumn. Among them, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used in spring to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be supplemented before flowering to promote flowering. In summer, as the flowers wither, it is also necessary to fertilize once to replenish nutrients. In autumn, organic liquid fertilizer should be used and applied every 20 days. Solid fertilizers usually need to be buried in the soil and must be kept away from the roots. Liquid fertilizers can be watered directly, and foliar fertilizers need to be sprayed onto the leaves.

1. Fertilization time

Peach blossoms are generally fertilized during the growth period, that is, spring, summer and autumn. It should be noted that fertilizer cannot be applied when it is blooming, otherwise it will cause the flowers to drop. In winter, as the temperature drops, the growth of the plants slows down and begins to enter the dormant period. At this time, the demand for fertilizer is not high, so there is no need to fertilize. Fertilizing in winter can easily cause fertilizer accumulation, causing fertilizer damage.

2. Fertilizer Selection

Peach Blossom Fertilizer requirements vary at different stages of growth. Fertilizing in spring should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, which can promote the growth of branches and leaves and make them grow stronger. Before flowering, it is necessary to add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering. In summer, as the flowers of the plant fade, a little more fertilizer is needed, so phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should also be applied once. Organic liquid fertilizer is usually used in autumn and applied once every 20 days. Before winter, add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to help plants survive the winter better.

3. How to apply fertilizer

For Different fertilizers require different fertilization methods. Basal fertilizer is usually applied to the bottom of the pot when planting so that nutrients can be continuously provided. Solid fertilizer requires digging a hole in the pot soil and burying the fertilizer inside, generally away from the roots to avoid burns. If it is liquid fertilizer, it can be watered directly. If it is foliar fertilizer, it should be sprayed on the leaves of the plant.

IV. Precautions

To The amount of fertilizer should be controlled when fertilizing peach blossoms. Usually the fertilization interval is 20 days. If the plant grows very lush, fertilization can also be postponed. Generally, stop watering before fertilizing and water again the next day after fertilizing, so that the fertilizer can be better absorbed.
