How to Plant Peony Flowers
This article introduces some basic knowledge on how to plant peony flowers and the cultivation techniques. Let's take a look together.
“The clouds wish for clothing and flowers wish for beauty, the spring breeze sweeps the threshold and the dew is rich and dense.” This is a famous poem by Li Bai, which, by comparing peonies to the grace of Emperor Yang's concubine, extols her noble beauty. Since then, peonies have been known for their national color and fragrance. They have been widely loved by the people since records began, and they are still deeply favored today. Therefore, here are some methods for cultivating peony flowers for everyone.
One, Choosing Soil
Peonies prefer loose, fertile, and well-ventilated alkaline soil. A mixture of humus soil, river sand, and slag soil in a ratio of 5:2:1 can be used. This type of soil not only ensures the nutrients needed for the growth of peony flowers but also has good drainage, adequately meeting the growth requirements of peonies.
Two, Water and Fertilizer Management
For new plants, do not fertilize within the first six months of cultivation to avoid fertilizer damage. Before and after the flowers bloom, you can apply a diluted organic fertilizer to replenish nutrients. Before winter, add another application to prepare for the cold season, usually 500-750 grams of organic fertilizers like chicken manure or cake fertilizer per pot. The basic watering principle for peony flowers is to water thoroughly when dry. More water can be given during hot weather, and during cooler temperatures, watering once every one or two weeks is sufficient, keeping the soil slightly dry.
Three, Light and Temperature
Peony flowers enjoy sunlight but do not tolerate low temperatures. They can be placed outdoors to receive sunlight during the spring and autumn seasons when the temperature is not too high and the light is not too harsh. In the summer, high temperatures can burn the leaves, so some shade is necessary to protect the healthy growth of the peonies. In winter, they can be placed in a room with a temperature above 0 degrees Celsius.
