How to Cultivate Peony Flowers
A small tip for life, introducing how to cultivate peony flowers and knowledge about the care and management of peony plants, the specific content is as follows:
“The clouds wish for clothes and flowers wish for beauty, the spring breeze brushes the window and the dew is rich.” This is a famous poem by Li Bai, in which he compares the magnificence of peonies to the elegance of Yang贵妃, and since then, peonies have enjoyed the reputation of national beauty. Since records began, peonies have been widely loved by the people, 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. A mixture of humus soil, river sand, and slag soil in the ratio of 5:2:1 can be used. This mixture ensures the nutrients needed for peony growth and also has good drainage, meeting the needs of the peony's growth.
Two, Water and Fertilizer Management
If it is a new plant, do not fertilize within the first six months of cultivation to avoid fertilizer damage. Before and after flowering, you can apply a diluted organic fertilizer once to supplement nutrients. Before winter, add another application to prepare for the cold, usually 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 in cooler temperatures, watering once every one or two weeks is enough to keep the soil slightly dry.
Three, Light and Temperature
Peony flowers enjoy sunlight but are not cold-tolerant. In spring and autumn, when the temperature is not too high and the light is not too harsh, they can be placed outdoors to receive sunlight. In summer, with high temperatures that can burn the leaves, it is necessary to provide some shade to protect the healthy growth of peonies. In winter, placing them in a room with a temperature above 0 degrees Celsius is sufficient.
