Once your pit sprouts a little root—or after three months, whichever comes first—you’re ready to plant. Grab a pot that’s at least one foot deep with drainage holes. Peach roots like to stretch their legs.
Fill the pot with rich, well-draining soil. Bury the pit about one inch deep, with the pointy end facing up. Water it gently, like you’re giving a baby a bath. Then put the pot somewhere sunny—a south-facing window is perfect.
Now you wait. Again. (I warned you about patience!) Keep the soil moist but not soggy. In a few weeks, you’ll see a green shoot push through the dirt. That’s your baby peach tree saying, “Hello world!”
