Peach blossoms have different needs for fertilizer at different stages of growth.Fertilizer in the spring should be based on nitrogen fertilizer, which can promote the growth of branches and leaves, so that it grows stronger.Before flowering, it is necessary to increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which can promote flowering.In summer, because the plants and flowers fade, they need to supplement a little fertilizer, so they also need to apply a phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.In autumn, organic liquid fertilizer is usually used and applied once every 20 days.Before winter, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be supplemented once to help plants survive the winter better.
