How to maintain peony flowers throughout the year
Do you know about this? Let's continue to read on how to maintain peony flowers in all seasons and the correct method of peony maintenance in green planting!
Peony is a perennial deciduous plant in the genus Paeoniaceae. It has beautiful flowers, jade smiles and pearls, elegant winds and magnificent scenery. It is known as the "king of flowers". In May 1985, it was rated as the second among the top ten famous flowers in China. It is not only a favorite flower of China, but also cherished by people all over the world. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of four-season peonies!
Growth habits of peonies in four seasons. Peonies in four seasons prefer warm, cool, dry, and sunny environments. They like sunshine, and are also resistant to semi-shade, cold, drought, weak alkali, avoid water accumulation, are afraid of heat, and are afraid of direct sun. They are suitable for growth in loose, deep, fertile, high-dry terrain, and well-drained neutral sandy loam. They grow poorly in acidic or sticky soil. Adequate sunshine is beneficial to their growth, but they are not resistant to exposure to the summer sun. Temperatures above 25℃ will cause the plants to become dormant. The suitable temperature for flowering is 17 - 20℃, but it must undergo a low temperature treatment of 1 - 10℃ for 2 - 3 months before flowering. The minimum resistance to low temperatures of-30 ℃, but appropriate cold-proof measures need to be taken in winter in the cold areas of the north to avoid freezing damage. The high temperature and high humidity weather in the south is extremely unfavorable to the growth of peonies. Therefore, cultivating peonies in the south requires specific environmental conditions to enjoy the beautiful peony flowers.
Four-season peony propagation method 1. Ramont: The mother plants of peony ramets generally use strong clusters. The mother plants for ramets should keep roots and tillers as much as possible, and all roots on new seedlings should be retained to prepare for growth. New seedlings can be sprouted more after 5 years. Such seedlings will survive easily after planting and grow more vigorously. The more roots are retained, the more prosperous the growth.
2. Grafting: The grafting and reproduction of peonies is divided into two types according to the different rootstocks used. One is wild peony and the other is peony root. The commonly used peony grafting methods mainly include embedding method, abdominal grafting method and bud grafting method. There are three methods.
3. Cuttage: Cut the cut branches first, separate them from the mother plant, and then insert them into the soil or other substrate to take root into new plants. The branches should be selected from the soil buds of the year that are issued by the roots of the peony, or when the peony is being trimmed, select branches with plump stems and full terminal buds without pests and diseases as ears, and are 10 - 18 cm long.
4. Sowing: Before sowing, the soil must be carefully sorted and disinfected. The land must be deeply cultivated and carefully cultivated, and sufficient base fertilizer must be applied. Then build a small ridge 70 - 80 cm wide, and can be either hole or drill. Sow should not be too deep, 3 to 4 centimeters, and cover the soil with the main surface after sowing. Then gently stabilize the soil, and then water it thoroughly.
5. Lasting: The peony layering method is a reproduction method that takes advantage of the fact that branches can produce adventitious roots. The branches are crushed or buried with soil on the plants without separating from the mother plant. The soil is kept moist, and the buried parts take root., then cut off and plant to become a new plant, which is also a asexual reproduction method of peony.
1. Planting method for cultivating four-season peonies 1. Planting soil: The soil for planting four-season peonies requires loose, fertile, neutral and slightly alkaline. Cut off the broken and diseased roots of the planted peony seedlings, soak in pesticides and fungicides and put them into a pot prepared in advance. In the pit, the root system should be stretched, fill the soil into most parts of the pot or pit, gently lift and shake the seedlings, and seal the soil firmly, so that the roots are slightly lower than the pot surface or the ground level.
2. Watering: Peonies are watered once after planting in all seasons. Water is avoided. Water is watered as appropriate during the growing season. In arid areas in the north, water is generally watered before, after, and frozen water. For ease of management, they can be planted after blooming. Cut off the residual flowers and bury them underground.
3. Fertilization: Fertilization is feasible in autumn one year after planting four-season peonies. The main use is decomposed organic fertilizer, combined with loosening soil, sowing, and hole application. Chemical fertilizers are often used in spring and summer, combined with watering to apply pre-flower fertilizer and post-flower fertilizer. Pot loading can be combined with watering to apply liquid fertilizer.
4. Pruning: During the year when peonies are planted in four seasons, there are multiple rows of stubble. After spring germination, about 5 branches are left, and the rest are wiped off to concentrate nutrition to make the flowers big and colorful in the next year. In autumn and winter, combine with the clearing garden, cut off the dry flower stalks, thin and without branches. When carrying the pot, trim it into your favorite shape as needed.
5. Intercultivation: During the growing season of peonies in all seasons, they should be intercultivated in time to remove weeds and pay attention to the occurrence of diseases and insects. In autumn and winter, plowing is carried out on peonies over two years old.
6. Changing pots: When the four-season peonies in pots grow for three or four years, they need to be replaced in large pots with new fertile soil or planted separately in autumn.
7. Spray spraying: Spray stone sulfur mixture before germinating in early spring, and use a mixture of pesticides and fungicides in summer, every two weeks depending on the condition. In conjunction with fertilization, chemical fertilizers and growth conditioners should be added.
8. Flowering promotion: In order to increase festivals or celebrations, the peony can be warmed about 50 days in advance, and the temperature can be controlled at room temperature of 10~25℃, and the average daily average is about 15℃. Pay attention to keeping the plant moist in the early stage, pay attention to ventilation and light transmission after buds appear, and control the temperature according to flowering requirements after buds appear. Usually, foliar fertilization should be carried out to ensure sufficient water supply. In this way, flowers can be seen at any time in winter and spring.
