Are you curious about how to plant peony flowers and the cultivation techniques and management knowledge related to peony cultivation? Let's learn about it together.
“The clouds dream of clothing, the flowers dream of appearance, the spring breeze brushes the threshold, and the dew is rich.” This is a famous poem by Li Bai, in which he praised Yang贵妃's elegance by using the magnificence of peony flowers. Since then, peony flowers have enjoyed the reputation of being the most beautiful in the country. Since records began, peony flowers have been widely loved by the people, and they are still deeply favored today. Therefore, I am here to popularize some methods of peony cultivation.
One, Choosing Soil
Peony flowers prefer loose, fertile, and well-ventilated alkaline soil. You can mix humus soil, river sand, and slag soil in a ratio of 5:2:1. This mixture can ensure the nutrients needed for the growth of peony flowers and also has good drainage, meeting the growth requirements of peony flowers.
Two, Water and Fertilizer Management
For new plants, 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 winter, usually applying 500-750 grams of organic fertilizers like 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 to keep the soil slightly dry.
Three, Light and Temperature
Peony flowers enjoy sunlight and are not cold-resistant. 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, high temperatures can burn the leaves, so it is necessary to provide some shade to protect the healthy growth of peony flowers. In winter, it is sufficient to place them in a room with a temperature above 0 degrees Celsius.
The above comprehensive introduction to how to plant peony flowers and the cultivation techniques and management of peony flowers is hoped to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
