1. When to take root

Peach blossom cuttings generally take about a month to take root. There are many factors that affect rooting. First, the temperature and humidity must be controlled. The temperature should be kept between 15-20°C and the air humidity between 80-90%. In addition, it must receive a certain amount of scattered light, but avoid direct sunlight.
