Introduction: When growing peonies, there are three fears to be aware of. Pay attention to three points to ensure smooth bud differentiation, better growth, and large, luxurious flowers every year!
Peony is one of the top ten traditional famous flowers and a very well-known ornamental plant. Peonies can not only be planted in the garden and grown outdoors but can also be planted in larger flower pots. However, when planted in the ground, they tend to grow more vigorously, produce more flowers, and have lush foliage.
Peony flowers are rich, grand, and elegant, very beautiful, with a celestial fragrance. Autumn is a very suitable season for planting peonies, even more suitable than spring. Planting peonies in autumn ensures they can germinate and grow smoothly, and bloom successfully. They and peonies are both plants of the genus Paeonia in the family Ranunculaceae, but there are obvious differences between the two.
Differences between peonies and peonies
Firstly, the leaves are different, as well as the flower colors. Peony leaves are broader, with a greenish-yellow on the front and a powdery white on the back. However, peony leaves are relatively narrower and thinner in texture, with single leaves near the flowers, and both the front and back of the leaves are dark green, with denser foliage.
Secondly, peony flowers are generally larger, with a diameter of about 20 centimeters or even larger, and more petals. Peony flowers usually have a diameter within 15 centimeters, and peony flowers bloom about half a month earlier than peony flowers.
Planting methods and precautions for peonies
So, what are the key points for planting peony flowers?
First, peony flowers prefer a dry growing environment, meaning they are susceptible to waterlogging and积水. As they have a certain degree of drought resistance, when planted in a pot, watering should be based on the moisture level of the potting soil. Do not water when it is not dry and water thoroughly when needed. Excess water can cause root rot.
They prefer a high-temperature and dry growing environment and are not tolerant of cold and humidity. If planted outdoors, they need to be planted in areas with higher terrain and good drainage. The soil should be deep, loose, and fertile, choosing healthy and disease-free strong plants for planting.
Second, peony flowers prefer a growing environment with plenty of sunlight, so they must be kept in a sunny location. Although they enjoy sunlight, they are afraid of direct exposure to the sun. Therefore, during hot summers, avoid strong sunlight to prevent leaf wilting. Provide appropriate shading or keep them in a cool place in the summer, and before the start of winter, keep them in a sunny location.
