How to Cultivate Peony Flowers
The editor will explain how to cultivate peony flowers and introduce some green plant and flower cultivation knowledge about peony cultivation and management, followed by the introduction from the site editor for netizens.
“The clouds dream of clothing and flowers dream of beauty, the spring breeze caresses the window and the dew is rich and heavy.” This is a famous poem by Li Bai, in which the magnificence of peonies is used to praise the grandeur of Yang Guifei. Since then, peonies have earned the reputation of being the most beautiful flowers in the country. They have been widely loved by the people since records began, and they are still deeply favored today. Therefore, here are some methods for cultivating peony flowers.
One, Choosing Soil
Peonies prefer loose, fertile, and well-ventilated alkaline soil. You can mix humus soil, river sand, and ash soil in a ratio of 5:2:1. This mixture ensures the nutrients needed for the growth of peony flowers and also has good drainage, meeting the growth requirements of peonies.
Two, Water and Fertilizer Management
If it's a new plant, do not fertilize within the first six months of cultivation to avoid fertilizer damage. Before and after the flowers bloom, you can apply a diluted organic fertilizer to supplement nutrients. Add another one before winter to prepare for the cold season, usually about 500-750 grams of organic fertilizer such as chicken manure or cake fertilizer per pot. Peony flowers generally follow the watering principle of "water thoroughly when dry." In hot weather, you can water more, and when the temperature is low, watering once every one or two weeks is enough, keeping the soil slightly dry.
Three, Light and Temperature
Peony flowers love sunlight and are intolerant to low temperatures. They can be placed outdoors to receive sunlight when the temperature is not too high and the light is not too harsh in spring and autumn. In summer, high temperatures can easily burn the leaves, so it's necessary to provide some shade to protect the healthy growth of peonies. In winter, they can be placed in a room with a temperature above 0 degrees Celsius.
The above is a specific introduction on how to cultivate peony flowers and the cultivation and management of peony flowers, hoping to bring some flower knowledge to green plant enthusiasts.
