Peony flowers consume a lot of nutrients before blooming, so it's necessary to replenish a large amount of fertilizer after blooming. It's best to use decomposed mixed fertilizer, such as sesame cake, soybean cake, and rapeseed cake. The amount of fertilizer should be based on the size of the plant, and water should be thoroughly浇透 after fertilizing.

After peony flowers bloom, their resistance to diseases and pests weakens. To ensure the healthy growth of peony flowers, you can spray Bordeaux mixture or a 200-fold solution of carbendazim suspension a week after blooming.
