Peony flowers are really beautiful and gorgeous, slightly less splendid than peonies, but still a perfect kind of flowering plant. If there is enough space and sunlight on the balcony or terrace at home, you might as well keep a pot of peonies as well. They are relatively easy to cultivate to bloom and will bloom every year. No matter the color, they are very beautiful and stunning, with super large petals, large flowers, and very beautiful shapes. So how should potted peony flowers be cultivated? Some friends say that the peony they are growing never blooms. In fact, there are a few planting tips for growing potted peonies:
Firstly, a large pot with fertile soil is key to cultivating potted peonies.
Potted peonies require a pot that is not too small. With limited soil capacity, the nutrients cannot keep up, and the branches and leaves will grow sparse and weak, making it difficult to bloom. When planting, the diameter of the pot should be at least 25 centimeters. The soil should be deep, fertile, moist, and well-drained, and a certain amount of decomposed organic fertilizer or cake fertilizer, bone meal, etc., should be added to the bottom of the pot as a base fertilizer.
In winter, it can be placed directly on the indoor balcony to let it go through its dormant period. After sprouting in spring, water and fertilize promptly and increase sunlight.

Secondly, potted peonies must have sufficient sunlight.
Whether it's a potted peony or an outdoor peony, it must be kept in a well-ventilated and sunny area to ensure long periods of sufficient sunlight. Insufficient sunlight makes it difficult for flower buds to differentiate, and even if they do bloom, the flowers won't be as large or vibrant, and the buds will be very small. Under the shade of trees, where sunlight is blocked, they can still grow but will affect blooming.
Also, watering potted peonies should be noticed, especially after the flower buds have formed. Do not let the soil become too dry, or the flower buds will fall off and dry due to lack of water, and it's important to thin out too many flower buds.
Thirdly, pay attention to the planting time of potted peonies.
Many friends mistakenly believe that it is better to plant peonies in spring. However, this is incorrect, as there is a saying that planting peonies at the time of the spring equinox will result in no blooming. It is different from other flowering plants and is not suitable for planting in spring.
At this time, the temperature gradually rises, the roots have not healed, and cannot provide nutrients and water to the above-ground parts. Therefore, even if planted, the plant will struggle to grow and will find it even harder to bloom. The best time to plant peonies is from September to October in autumn! This way, peonies will bloom normally in spring, with very beautiful petals and vibrant colors that can be seen from a distance, making them look incredibly beautiful.
