Peach likes sunshine, and is not tolerant to shade, cold, drought and humidity. It can overwinter in the open air in southern North China and needs protection in northern North China. Sandy loam requires looseness, fertility and smooth drainage, and clay is prone to gummosis. I like ventilated and bright environment.

1, sowing or grafting propagation

Taking seedlings as rootstocks, it is best to sow in autumn. Cultivated varieties are usually propagated by grafting. Peach is often used as rootstock in the south, which can resist hot and humid environment. Peach is widely used as rootstock in the north, which is more resistant to drought and salinity. Seedling rootstocks need to be cultivated for 2 years before grafting, and can be cut in early spring when they just germinate or germinate in late August. After 1 year survival, grafted seedlings need to be transplanted, and the row spacing should be increased. At the same time, we should start shaping and pruning. First, a trunk should be formed about 30 cm from the ground, and then three lateral branches should be evenly reserved on the trunk. After the lateral main branches grow 1 year, they can be shaped and planted in pots.

2. Daily management of potted peaches

Use sandy culture soil rich in humus and well drained, with a small amount of bone meal or hoof as base fertilizer. Prune in time after flowering, leaving only 2 ~ 3 buds at the base of the flowering branches, cutting off all the rest, and thinning the branches that are too dense. When the new branches grow to a suitable length in summer, the core should be removed (smeared) to promote the formation of flower buds, and dilute liquid fertilizer should be applied once a week. In the later stage, we should pay attention to increasing the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and saving water to facilitate the growth of flower buds. In Beijing, every spring equinox turns over the pot to change the soil. When changing pots, the roots that are too dense can be trimmed moderately. When it snows, the pot will spend the winter in a cold room. About 35 days before the Spring Festival, the pot will be moved indoors at around 10℃, and then the temperature will gradually increase. In the environment of 20℃ to 25℃,/kloc-0 blooms after 5 to 20 days.
