The transplantation of potted peony is a skilled job that requires certain techniques and precautions. This article will introduce you to the transplantation methods and related knowledge of potted peony.
Choose the right timeThe best time for transplanting potted peony is in spring when the temperature gradually warms up, and the peony grows vigorously, which is conducive to survival. It is more suitable to transplant from the end of March to early April.
Prepare transplantation tools1. Pot: Choose a pot slightly larger than the original one to allow root growth.
2. Potting soil: Use loose soil with good breathability and drainage, such as decomposed leaf soil, coarse sand, etc.
3. Scissors: For pruning roots and leaves.
4. Twine or garden film: For securing the plant.
Transplantation steps1. Digging: Use scissors to cut the connection between the original pot and the soil, and gently remove the potted peony.
2. Root pruning: Cut off the long and decayed roots, leaving healthy roots.
3. Soil replacement: Remove the old soil from the pot and put in new soil.
4. Planting: Place the pruned potted peony in the pot, making sure the roots are evenly distributed.
5. Securing: Use twine or garden film to secure the plant in the pot.

2. Watering: Keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging.
3. Fertilizing: Do not fertilize within one month after transplantation to avoid affecting root recovery. After that, fertilize with a thin solution every 15 days.
4. Pruning: Prune withered and weak branches and leaves in time to keep the plant beautiful.
Precautions1. Avoid direct sunlight: In the early stage of transplantation, avoid direct sunlight to prevent the plant from withering.
