When buying peach blossoms
The first important step is to choose the peaches. Choose fresh branches with many buds and shoots. This is a prerequisite for the flowers to bloom quickly and be fresh for the Lunar New Year.
Cleaning the vase for peach blossoms
After choosing the desired peach branch, the homeowner needs to clean the vase. Clean flower vases and clean water will ensure that the peach branch stays fresh for the Lunar New Year.
Note: After buying the peach branch, it should be kept in a wind-sheltered place. Leaving it in the wind for too long can cause the branch to wither and the flowers and buds to fall off. If unfortunately the peach branch withers, use a sprayer to spray a lot of water all over the peach branch.
Handling the peach branch before planting
According to the experience of our ancestors, in order to keep the peach branch fresh and maintain its nutrients for the Lunar New Year, burn the base of the peach branch.
When the charcoal burns evenly, place the peach branch diagonally so that the base fits snugly with the part that is on fire, avoiding placing the peach branch upright, which can cause the flowers and buds to wither. The base of the peach branch needs to be burned black to prevent the sap from flowing out and the nutrients in the peach branch from seeping out. Burning the base also prevents bacteria from entering the branch and causing it to wither quickly.
How to make the peach branch bloom more after planting
Before the Lunar New Year, for the branches that have not yet bloomed, you can apply the following tips.
Use warm water for planting peach branches: After planting the peach branch in the vase, pay attention to changing the water every 2 – 3 days. It is recommended to use warm water to replace the water for the peach branch, which helps the peach bloom quickly and the plant also stays fresher.
Use LED lights to create a warm atmosphere: In addition to providing warmth to the water, you can create a cozy space by placing wall-mounted lights near the peach branch, cluster lights, or by using LED string lights for decoration and to warm the air, helping the peach blossoms bloom quickly.
Supplement nutrition: A small tip that many people have successfully applied is to use a few vitamin B1 pills or mix a spoonful of potassium into the water poured into the vase for planting peach blossoms. The branches are supplemented with timely nutrition, helping the flowers bloom faster, and the plants stay fresh longer.
