"The clouds dream of clothes and flowers dream of beauty, the spring breeze刷the fence and the dew is rich." This is Li Bai's famous poem, in which the magnificence of peonies is used to praise Yang Guifei's nobility. Since then, peonies have been known for their national color and fragrance. Peonies have been widely loved by the people since records began, and they are still deeply favored today. Therefore, here are some methods for raising peonies.
One, choosing soil
Peonies prefer loose, fertile, and well-ventilated alkaline soil. You can mix humus soil, river sand, and slag soil in a ratio of 5:2:1. The soil mixed in this way can not only ensure the nutrients needed for the growth of peonies but also has good drainage performance. It meets the growth requirements of peonies very well.
Two, water and fertilizer management
If it is a new plant, do not fertilize within the first half year of cultivation to avoid fertilizer damage. Before and after the flowers bloom, you can apply a diluted organic fertilizer respectively to supplement nutrients. Add another one before winter to prepare for the winter, generally applying 500-750 grams of organic fertilizer such as chicken manure and cake fertilizer per pot. Peonies basically follow the watering principle of "water thoroughly when dry." More water can be added when the weather is hot, and once every one or two weeks is enough when the temperature is low, keeping the soil slightly dry.
Three, light and temperature
Peonies enjoy sunlight and are intolerant to low temperatures. They can be placed outdoors to receive sunlight when the temperature is not too high and the light is not too harsh in spring and autumn. If it is summer, high temperatures can easily burn the leaves, so proper shading is required to protect the healthy growth of peonies. In winter, they can be placed in a room with a temperature above 0 degrees Celsius.
