After entering autumn, a large number of businesses are selling peonies, including experts who are also planting peonies. So, is it suitable to buy now when it's the season for planting peonies? Can we plant them? What are the skills? Today, Xiaoqi will tell you about it.
The normal planting time for peonies is around the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is relatively reliable because at this time, its leaves have almost all fallen off, the stems have stopped growing, the flower buds have already clearly differentiated, and it is only in autumn that it is in the stage of growing roots. When we buy, we usually buy bare-root seedlings, and the bottom of the roots will be cut off. Therefore, after receiving the seedlings, we need to check the roots to make sure the black parts of the root wounds are cut off, the long roots can be trimmed appropriately, and then planted. There are two methods of planting: potting or ground planting, which you can choose reasonably.
1. Ground planting
Ground planting is the most suitable method for peonies, as they are hardy and can withstand cold temperatures. After planting, you only need to water regularly, and they can bloom every year. When planting, dig a large enough hole, not too small. After loosening the soil, place the peony in the middle, and the junction of the roots and the stem should be slightly higher than the soil surface, meaning the roots should be covered with about 5 cm of soil to prevent frostbite in winter. When planting, add soil to the hole, halfway through, and gently lift the plant with your hand to loosen the soil and fill the gaps with soil.
Then find a thicker stick to firmly tamp the soil around, add more soil, and tamp again, allowing the soil to completely combine with the roots. After covering the soil, heap it around the roots 5 to 10 cm high, water it, and it will grow roots quickly in autumn. By winter, the roots will be very well developed, and the flowers will bloom beautifully in spring. This year's flowers can bloom again next year. However, when planting peonies in the ground, choose a location that is high and does not accumulate water and has at least half a day of sunlight, especially with some shade in summer to prevent direct sunlight, ensuring good growth and no problems.

2. Potting
Peonies can be potted, but it must be purchased in autumn because the roots grow in autumn. After planting, the roots will grow rapidly, filling the pot with roots by spring and blooming. If purchased in other seasons, the plant may not grow roots and will bloom or grow leaves directly, consuming the nutrients in the old roots. After growth and flowering, the roots will be exhausted, the trunk will shrink, and the later growth will be weak or may not bloom.
When planting peonies, choose a larger pot and use the same method, placing it in the middle, filling the soil around, lifting the plant slightly to fill every root gap with soil, tamping the soil around with a stick, covering the roots with a small mound of soil in the middle, watering thoroughly, and placing it in a sunny location for normal care. In autumn, it will grow roots rapidly and fill the pot.
However, in autumn, if potted, the soil dries out very quickly, so you must water it reasonably. Generally, when the soil is dry to a depth of one or two centimeters, water it thoroughly to ensure sufficient sunlight. In autumn, you can supplement it with high-phosphorus and high-potassium "Flower More No. 2" to promote rapid root growth, rapid differentiation of flower buds, and enhance its cold resistance. By doing this for a whole autumn, the potted plants can bloom in winter after experiencing low temperatures, and they will bloom again the following spring.
This is how to plant peonies in two ways: potting and ground planting. You can choose a suitable planting method. It's best to plant in the ground if you have a garden, and in a pot if you don't. Choose the variety you like. But remember, if you are in the southern region where winter temperatures are very high, do not plant peonies, as they require low temperatures for vernalization. Generally, they start differentiating flower buds when temperatures are below 10 degrees in autumn; otherwise, they will not bloom. Planting in the southern region will only result in foliage, not flowers.
