Key Points for Planting Purple-Spot牡丹
The editor provides an introduction to the woody flower, Purple-Spot牡丹, discussing the key points for planting it. Let's move on to the introduction for netizens.
Purple-Spot牡丹 is a unique plant to China, a precious germplasm resource for flowers, with its root bark used for medicinal purposes. It belongs to a cold and dry ecological type, has strong resistance to adversity, and is suitable for low-temperature and dry climates. Purple-Spot牡丹 is scattered throughout Shaanxi, Gansu, and the western part of Henan in China. Due to the root bark's medicinal use, it has long been overexploited, leading to continuous destruction of resources, and it has a weak natural reproductive ability. To protect it, more and more people are planting Purple-Spot牡丹, and some flower enthusiasts do not hesitate to invest heavily in its cultivation, as mastering the key points of planting Purple-Spot牡丹 is of great significance.
(1) Growing Environment
Purple-Spot牡丹 can grow in areas ranging from 60 meters (north of Shanhaiguan) to 3000 meters in the Bailongjiang River Valley. The impact of altitude on Purple-Spot牡丹 is actually the effect of temperature on the flowering date of peonies. The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, and the later the flowering date of peonies. For example, the flowering time of peonies in Beijing is roughly the same as in Lanzhou, but Beijing is at a higher latitude than Lanzhou, while Lanzhou is at a higher altitude than Beijing. Beijing and Shenyang have almost the same altitude, but Shenyang is at a higher latitude than Beijing, and the flowering time of peonies in Shenyang is about 20 days later than in Beijing.
(2) Water
As long as Purple-Spot牡丹 meets the water requirements during planting to allow it to take root and survive, it can also grow in dry conditions. However, to ensure good flowering, it needs to be watered 2-3 times a year.
(3) Light
Purple-Spot牡丹 is a long-day plant that enjoys sunlight. However, in the humid and hot months of July and August, if the temperature remains above 30°C for an extended period and the ventilation is poor, it may develop withered leaves. During the flowering season, excessive sunlight can shorten the viewing time of the flowers, so some valuable ornamental varieties are shaded with a canopy during the flowering period.
(4) Soil
Purple-Spot牡丹 is not particular about soil, and it can grow within a pH range of 6.2 to 8.3. Although it can tolerate poor soil, it grows stronger in fertile soil, with a higher rate of flowering and petal development compared to poor soil. The soil in the Northeast is relatively loose and has good water渗透力, so newly planted seedlings must pay attention to supplementing water. After two years, when the new roots are deeply established, there is no need for frequent watering.
Like the Central Plains peonies, Purple-Spot牡丹 is afraid of waterlogging, so it is important to ensure proper drainage when planting in areas south of the Yellow River and low-lying areas.
The above () provides a comprehensive explanation of the key points for planting Purple-Spot牡丹, hoping to act as a starting point and solve your green plant problems.
