I. Season for Transplanting Peonies
Autumn is the season suitable for transplanting peonies. Because 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 in the roots heal faster, thus growing more new roots. By the next spring, the plant growth will be more vigorous.

When transplanting peonies, it is necessary to choose the right soil. You can choose to prepare nutrient-rich soil. Bury decayed leaves in the soil, then mix them with garden soil, horse manure, and coarse sand. Then seal it with human feces and urine, and let it mature for a week before using.
2. Method of Transplanting
Soak the pot in water, remove it, and place a tile over the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot to prevent the soil from leaking out. Then trim the diseased leaves, withered leaves, diseased roots, and old roots with scissors, and disinfect the healthy roots with a 1% copper sulfate solution. Then place the plant in the pot, fill with soil, and stop about 4 centimeters from the edge of the pot.
3. Aftercare of Transplanted Peonies
After the peonies are transplanted, proper care is also required. Water the plant immediately after transplanting, and make sure it is thoroughly watered to provide sufficient moisture for the roots, which is beneficial for root growth and survival. You can place Taihu stones in the pot, which can help with insulation and temperature regulation.
