White peony is被誉为 "one of the top ten famous flowers" and is also known as the "fairy of flowers." Its blooming season is in May, and it is also called the "May flower god." It is another beautiful flower after peony. Some friends may not be familiar with peony and peony and cannot distinguish between them. Peony plants are relatively shorter than peony, with a height of about one meter, while peony plants can reach about two meters. Peony blooms in mid-to-late April, and peony flowers bloom approximately two weeks later. In ancient China, people had a special admiration for peony, which is reflected in poetry and painting. Zhang Daqian's famous painting "White Peony" is very valuable today. Poets such as Bai Juyi and Liu Zongyuan in the Tang Dynasty praised peony in their poems. Peony belongs to a type of Chinese medicinal herb and is most commonly planted in provinces such as Shandong, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu in China. It can be used as an ornamental plant and has medicinal value, making it highly loved by people. Peony is a perennial plant, and in propagation, it can be propagated by dividing plants or sowing seeds.
1. The timing of division propagation should be accurate, generally carried out in autumn. Choose 3 to 5-year-old peony plants as the mother plants for propagation. Freshly dug peony plants have too much moisture and should not be cut immediately. The liquid that flows out when cut may slightly affect the survival rate. It is best to place the newly dug plants for about 40 hours to allow the nutrients in the roots to return before cutting according to 1-2 buds or 3 buds per clump. Since new wounds appear during the division process, this provides an opportunity for root rot diseases. Fresh草木灰 is commonly used to cover the wounds, and the cutting tools should be disinfected with a 0.1% potassium permanganate solution or 300 times the liquid of carbendazim. Depending on the different uses of peony, the planting density varies. For medicinal peony cultivation, the planting density can be with a row spacing of about 35 cm and a plant spacing of about 25 cm. The planting density for ornamental peony flowers should be slightly稀, with a row spacing of about 50 cm and a plant spacing of about 30 cm. Generally, it is sufficient to maintain 3300-4200 plants per mu. Division propagation should not be carried out in spring, summer, and winter, as peony cannot ensure an ideal survival rate during these seasons.
2. Peony can be planted in autumn. Seed propagation is a quick method to propagate peony. Peony seeds are different from other agricultural seeds and require low-temperature treatment to improve germination rate. Collect new seeds in autumn and plant them after soaking in 40-degree warm water for 24 hours, from the end of August to the end of September. With natural low temperatures in winter, they can germinate and grow in the second spring.
3. Disease and pest control: Peony brown spot, also known as red spot, is a very common disease harmful to peony. It can be sprayed with 1000 times the liquid of carbendazim + brassinolactone on the leaves at the beginning of the disease or sprayed with 600 times the liquid of metavaron. Peony is also susceptible to rust, powdery mildew, and black spot diseases, commonly controlled with drugs such as tebuconazole, myclobutanil, propiconazole, and difenoconazole.
4. Topdressing and tillage: After planting peony for one year, it needs to be harvested after more than three years. To ensure good growth of peony, fertilization is essential, but fully decomposed farm manure is the best. Peony prefers farm manure and is afraid of waterlogging. Planting should be done with ridges and furrows prepared in advance, and fertilization should be carried out 2-3 times a year. Regular tillage, loosening the soil, weeding, and earthing up are necessary. Before winter, leave 8 cm of ground and cut off the top branches and leaves, cleaning the field without damaging the roots of the peony.
