Peony flowers are colorful and graceful, highly valuable, known as the king of flowers, and serve as the national flower of China. If you want to propagate peony flowers, you need to pay attention to the transplantation work. Let's explore the suitable season for transplanting peonies and the transplanting techniques.
I. The season for transplanting peony flowers
Autumn is the suitable season for transplanting peony flowers. When transplanting peonies, it is inevitable to cause some damage to the roots. In autumn, as peonies grow slowly, they do not consume too much water and nutrients. The wounds on the roots heal faster, allowing for the growth of more new roots. By the next spring, the plant will grow more vigorously.
II. Techniques for transplanting peony flowers
1. Properly prepare the soil
When transplanting peony flowers, it is necessary to choose the right soil. You can opt to prepare a nutrient-rich soil mix. Bury decayed leaves in the soil, then mix them with garden soil, horse manure, and coarse sand. After sealing it with human waste and urine, let it compost for a week before use.
2. The method of transplanting
Place the pot in water to soak, then after removing it, place a tile over the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot to prevent soil from escaping. Trim away any diseased leaves, dead leaves, diseased roots, and old roots with scissors, and then disinfect the healthy roots with a 1% copper sulfate solution. Then place the plant in the pot, fill with soil, stopping about 4 centimeters away from the edge of the pot.
3. Care after transplanting
After the peony flowers have been transplanted, proper care is still needed. Water the plant immediately after transplanting, making sure to water thoroughly to provide ample moisture for the roots, which is beneficial for root growth and survival. Placing Taihu stones in the pot can help with insulation and temperature regulation.
