“The clouds wish for clothes and flowers wish for appearance, the spring breeze刷the fence and the dew is rich.” This is a famous poem by Li Bai, in which the magnificence of peonies is used to praise the elegance of Yang Guifei, and since then, peonies have been known as the beauty of the nation. Since records began, peonies have been widely loved by the people, and they are still deeply favored today. Therefore, I will popularize some peony cultivation methods here.
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. The soil mixed in this way can not only ensure the nutrients needed for the growth of peonies but also has good drainage performance. It fully meets the growth needs of peonies.
Two, water and fertilizer management
If it is a new plant, do not fertilize within the first half year of cultivation to avoid fertilizer damage. Before and after the flowering period, you can apply a diluted organic fertilizer once to supplement the nutrients. Add another one before winter to prepare for the winter, generally applying 500-750 grams of organic fertilizers such as chicken manure and cake fertilizer per pot. Peonies basically follow the watering principle of "water thoroughly when dry." More water can be added when the weather is hot, and it is enough to water once every one or two weeks when the temperature is low, keeping the soil slightly dry.
Three, light and temperature
Peonies like light and cannot stand low temperatures. They can be placed outdoors to receive sunlight when the temperature is not too high and the light is not too dazzling in spring and autumn. If it is summer, the high temperature can easily burn the leaves, so it is necessary to provide appropriate shade to protect the healthy growth of peonies. In winter, they can be placed in a room with a temperature above 0 degrees Celsius.
