All kinds of soil will be broken and sifted, mixed evenly, stacked, spread branches or other flammable material on top, lit, not only increase the plant ash, but also play a role in high temperature treatment of the soil.

Transplant seedlings into the pot in the middle and late March. Before planting the pot bottom drainage hole with tiles pad, the pot bottom filled with part of the nutrient soil, the seedlings into the pot, covered with soil cultivation, with the hand to slightly lift the seedlings up a few times, pouring permeable, after the water seepage and then covered with soil. The fill should be 5cm below the edge of the basin. Then place the basin in a sunny place to increase humidity and promote root growth.

Pleasant fertilizer should be applied when planting, and organic fertilizer should be applied after falling leaves in autumn and winter. Quick effect fertilizer should be applied once before leaf growth, flower management and after falling flowers. Due to the limited soil in the pot, the amount of fertilizer applied each time should not be too much, so we should "eat less and eat more". The commonly used fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer such as cake fertilizer, which is fermented and added with liquid fertilizer.

The characteristics of tight branches and dense leaves, dormant period can be a thinning pruning, can be cut into a single round head, can also be cut into a multi-stem cluster or flat top type.

In case of dry rot or coal stain, the infected branches can be cut off and burned.Peach borer was the main pest, which was sprayed 50% dichlorvos 500-1000 times during egg hatching. From early June to early July, the larvae were sprayed with 2000 times solution to kill thrin before caries, and other leaf-eating pests were also treated. After fruit setting, 5 grams of phoxim emulsion can be used for 500 grams of dry fine soil, adding appropriate amounts of water to prepare medicine mud, for prevention and control.
