Peony flowers have been known as "national beauty and fragrance" since ancient times and are one of the representatives of China's traditional culture. Planting peonies can not only appreciate beautiful flowers, but also add to the landscape effect of the garden. However, how to grow peonies is a headache for many people. Let's take a look at the planting method and time of peonies.
Choose the right time When planting peonies, choose the right time. Planting is usually done in spring or autumn. The best time for spring is March, and the best time for autumn is October. In these two seasons, the temperature is more suitable, which is conducive to the growth and development of peony.
When choosing a suitable location When planting peonies, choose a place with sufficient sunshine, good ventilation, and loose and fertile soil. Avoid planting in dark, moist places such as shade or bushes.
Prepare suitable soil. When planting peonies, soil with good air permeability, good drainage and rich in organic matter should be selected. Adding appropriate amounts of decomposed organic fertilizer and calcium phosphate to the soil can effectively improve the fertility of the soil and promote the growth of peony.
Fertilization When planting peonies, apply fertilizer in a timely manner. Spring and autumn are important periods for the growth and development of peony. Appropriate amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be added to promote the growth of peony.
Pay attention to pest control When planting peonies, pay attention to pest control. Common pests and diseases include black spot, downy mildew, red spider, etc. Prevention and treatment can be carried out by spraying fungicides, insect repellents and other methods.
pruning When planting peonies, appropriate pruning should be carried out. In winter, prune withered leaves and branches to keep the plants clean. In spring and summer, flowers and petals should be removed in time to promote flowering next year.
Transplantation When planting peonies, pay attention to timely transplanting. If peonies grow in the same place for a long time, soil fertility will gradually decrease, affecting the growth of peonies. Generally speaking, transplants are performed every three years or so.
Breeding When planting peonies, reproduction can also be carried out. Commonly used reproduction methods include cuttings, rationing, scion, etc. The cuttings method is to insert new shoots into the soil for cuttage. The dividing method is to divide an old plant into a number of small plants. The scion method is to attach flower buds to other plants for reproduction.
Although planting peonies is a little difficult, as long as you follow the above methods, I believe everyone can successfully grow beautiful peonies. If you also like this beautiful flower, go ahead and try planting it!
