I. Planting Time for Peony Flowers
Peony planting usually takes place between August and October. Different regions have different local environmental conditions and thus different planting times. In the Northeast region, planting generally occurs between August and October. In the North China region, most people choose to plant between September and November. In the South China region, planting usually takes place between November and January of the following year. Note that spring is not suitable for planting peonies, as the climatic conditions at that time are not conducive to the blooming of peonies.
II. Planting Methods for Peony Flowers
1. Germination induction. When planting peonies, it is important to select seeds that are plump. First, soak the seeds in warm water for 12 hours. When the surface of the seeds looks full and without wrinkles, they can be taken out. Then, place them in moist sand to induce germination. Cover the seedlings with a thin layer of weeds and spray water once a day. Keep them in a warm, semi-shaded environment, and they will germinate in about a month.
2. Potting soil selection. When planting peonies, ceramic pots are generally chosen. The soil should be loose, fertile, well-draining, and have a slightly acidic pH value. Before planting, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied, mainly some cake fertilizer or liquid manure. Also, add some fungicides to the soil, and sprinkle some water on the surface to keep the potting soil moist.
3. Planting management. When planting, choose the broadcasting method. Sprinkle the seedlings in the soil, with a planting depth of about 3 centimeters, and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Then, flatten the soil and water thoroughly, making sure there is no standing water in the soil. Additionally, apply a well-rotted organic fertilizer in the fall and do the soil loosening work; in spring and summer, apply some chemical fertilizers.
