Pay attention to the peonies after moving them outdoors in spring
Abstract: This article focuses on the knowledge of green plants and flowers after moving peonies outdoors in spring. Let's take a look together!
Although peonies are cold-resistant, in cold northern regions, it is still necessary to prevent freezing in winter. Peonies in northern potted plants are often moved indoors for maintenance during winter.
Move indoors before and after winter, place them in unheated rooms, maintain the temperature around 0 degrees, and provide adequate sunlight. Never place them in heated rooms, as the higher temperature in heated rooms prevents peonies from completing vernalization, which will affect flowering.
If peonies are moved indoors for maintenance before and after winter, when should they be moved outdoors?
Generally speaking, it is not appropriate to move peonies outdoors too early. In early spring, the temperature is unstable, fluctuating between hot and cold. Moving peonies outdoors too early may cause the peony buds to catch a cold, turn yellow, and fall off.
Therefore, it is generally recommended to move peonies outdoors for maintenance around Qingming Festival when the temperature is relatively stable.
In not too cold regions, peonies do not necessarily need to be moved indoors in winter. It is sufficient to plant them in a wind-protected, sunny spot along with the pot.
After the buds appear in spring, dig out the pot, clean it thoroughly, maintain it normally, and enjoy the flowers.
In warm regions, peony potted plants can be placed outdoors directly for overwintering. If you are worried that rain in winter may cause the potting soil to become too wet, you can cover the surface of the pot with a film and then cover it with straw. Covering with film is to avoid excessive rain, while covering with straw is to block sunlight, preventing the potting soil temperature from getting too high.
