How to Cultivate Potted Peony Flowers
The editor will share with everyone how to cultivate potted peony flowers and the related experience of planting and managing peony flowers. Next, let's introduce it.
As Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty wrote in a poem, "The peony in the courtyard is wanton without style, the lotus on the pond is clean and lacks sentiment. Only the peony is truly the color of the nation, and the blooming season stirs the capital." This shows the charm of the "King of Flowers" peony. Planting potted peony flowers requires attention to four aspects: first, choose a medium-sized pot and loose, breathable soil; second, manage the potting process well; third, adhere to the principle of watering when the soil is dry; and fourth, fertilize once or twice in autumn.
One, Soil Selection
Referring to the size of the peony plant, we should first choose a medium-sized pot. Peony flowers are not picky about soil, as long as it is breathable and has good drainage. Generally, ordinary garden soil mixed with simple base fertilizer is used, and it is recommended to add some disinfectants to the potting soil to prevent mold and other harmful substances from damaging the peony seedlings.
Two, Potting Management
Special attention should be paid to the management of peony after potting in autumn. It is best to place it in a shaded area for 7-10 days before moving it to a sunny area for cultivation. Remember to water it in a timely and moderate manner during this period. In winter, when the temperature is low, the peony plant should be placed in a sunny area to fully absorb the sunlight.
Three, Moderate Watering
Peony is not a plant that likes moisture and has a low demand for water. Watering should follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry. That is, water it once when the potting soil is completely dry, keeping the soil moist. In winter, the plant is in a dormant state, so try not to water it.
Four, Proper Fertilizing
There is no need to fertilize the peony plant in the first year of planting, as it absorbs enough base fertilizer during the initial planting. In autumn, when the peony is in a rapid growth stage, it can be fertilized once or twice, especially when it is close to the budding stage, some fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium can be added.
The above sharing on how to cultivate potted peony flowers and the comprehensive introduction of peony planting and management hope to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
