The cultivation method and maintenance of peony flowers during the Spring Festival
The website introduces the cultivation method and maintenance of peony flowers during the Spring Festival, as well as related topics about understanding the cultivation points of peonies in the field of flower cultivation. Next, the editor will provide an introduction.
April and May are the peak blooming periods for peonies. Peonies are indeed the number one among the top ten famous flowers. Once they bloom, other flowers like roses and camellias pale in comparison! Chinese people have a deep affection for peony flowers. Their flowers are so majestic and graceful, symbolizing wealth and auspiciousness. No one dislikes them!
We are accustomed to appreciating peonies in specialized parks during spring. The peonies we see are planted in the ground, but actually, peonies can also be cultivated in flowerpots. Today, I will introduce the maintenance experience of pot-grown peonies to everyone. Flower enthusiasts who need it, hurry up and save this information!
Peonies prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soil and should not be too heavy. Therefore, the red soil in the south is not very suitable. Flower enthusiasts can mix garden soil, peat soil, and coconut bran to create a loose, breathable, and fertile soil that is soft; southern flower enthusiasts can add a little wood ash to the soil and use a pH test paper if necessary!
Daily maintenance experience of peonies
1. How to water peony flowers?
Watering cannot be generalized and should be judged based on your environment and soil mixture. For example, if it has recently rained and there is a lot of mist, water less or not at all. Conversely, if the weather is dry, well-ventilated, and sunny, it is more suitable for watering.

If your soil retains water well and is still moist below when the surface is dry, extend the watering interval and don't water too frequently. If your soil does not retain water well and leaks as soon as watered, water more frequently, and water once when the soil surface is dry.
Peonies are quite sensitive to water. If they lack water, the leaves will wilt and droop, and the petals will close. If you water too much and the soil is too heavy and wet, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, and the roots will rot.
Note: Whenever you water, the soil and water should be at the same temperature. Prepare water in advance when the soil is dry and wait for a day before using it. This applies to watering any flower.
2. How to expose peonies to the sun?
Peony flowers should be placed in a location with sufficient light except in summer. South-facing, east, or west-facing balconies are all suitable, ensuring that they receive half a day of sunlight, but they should not be placed on north-facing balconies.
For summer, be sure to provide shade and avoid direct sunlight, especially after the flowers have bloomed. Direct sunlight will cause the flowers to droop and petals to fall off. Therefore, after entering summer, it is best to move the flowerpot to a shaded outdoor area or a corner of the balcony. This will extend the blooming period of the flowers!
