May is the season for peonies, a flower that has historically been compared to peonies. Although it is far less luxurious than peonies, its easier cultivation and maintenance make it occupy many parks, residential areas, and even family potted plants. However, to grow peonies well, certain methods and techniques are still required. Only by truly understanding its preferences can the flowers showcase the luxurious elegance of peonies, with large flowers as big as a bowl.
1. Preparation before cultivation
Preparation before cultivation includes soil, pots, branches, or seeds. Considering the characteristics of peony roots and the overall nature of the leaves, choosing a ceramic pot with good drainage and ventilation is more suitable. Also, considering the need for nutrition and other factors, a pot with a certain height is more appropriate. For soil, a fertile, well-drained, and well-ventilated sandy loam soil or neutral to slightly alkaline soil is suitable. Peonies are usually propagated by播种 (seeding), cutting, or dividing. Among them, dividing can shorten the growth time and make flowers bloom faster. It is recommended to use the division method for growing peonies at home.
2. Daily water management
After planting, the water supply is often the first issue to consider in the daily management of peonies. Overall, peonies are drought-tolerant and prone to waterlogging, so daily watering should not be excessive, as it can easily cause the fleshy stems to rot. In the month before flowering and the half month after flowering, water should be reduced according to the local environment and air humidity. After each watering, it is necessary to do a simple soil turnover to ensure that water渗透 (penetrates) smoothly and does not accumulate in the pot.
3. Daily light requirements
Generally, flowers with large and bright flowers have high light requirements, but peonies are different; they are not strict about light requirements. However, providing some sunlight during different seasons and growth stages can help the plant reach its best growth state. For example, in spring, when the light intensity is low, it can be moved to a well-lit position, which is also more conducive to bud differentiation and color richness. In summer, it is necessary to prevent exposure to the scorching sun and move it to a shaded place in time.
4. Main fertilizer requirements
To ensure that peony flowers bloom luxuriously and beautifully, the application and supplementation of fertilizers are essential. The main fertilizer application can be controlled after the formation of flower buds, using fast-acting phosphorus fertilizers to make the flower buds more swollen and tension, bloom larger, and have brighter colors. In autumn and winter, to ensure a good state for next year's plants, an additional application of fertilizer can be made to store energy for the next year.
During the May Day holiday, many small parks and mountain resorts in the north were found to have planted peonies, which were blooming beautifully with vibrant colors. They were all planted outdoors, indicating that peonies have strong cold resistance, and overwintering outdoors is not a major issue. In summary, the management of peonies is not very difficult, and with precise skills, naturally, large and beautiful flowers will bloom.
