How to plant peony seeds

With regard to the sowing of plant seeds, different plants have different ways. The seeds of gramineous plants such as rice and wheat need to be soaked and germinated before sowing, while some other plants, such as tea trees, bury their seeds directly in the ground. Some spore plants can grow by dropping their own seeds on the ground.

How to plant peony seeds

1. Peony seeds begin to mature in August. At this time, sand should be collected immediately to avoid dry shrinkage, and then stored in a low temperature. The seeds can be treated with 1% gibberellin for 48 hours, or a low temperature of about 5 ℃ to release Hypocotyl dormancy, and the seedlings can germinate in the second year after sowing.

2. Peony likes warm, cool, dry and sunny environment. It is also resistant to semi-shade, cold and weak alkali while enjoying light. But avoid stagnant water, afraid of high temperature, especially in summer to avoid direct sunlight. The suitable growth temperature of tree peony is 17 ℃ and 20 ℃. If the temperature exceeds 25 mol, it will go into dormancy.

3. Peony is suitable for growing in loose and fertile, sunny, dry and well-drained neutral sandy soil, and is generally planted from late September to early October. The best way to sow peony is 3mi 4cm. After sowing, cover it with soil and keep it level with the ground, then gently make the soil neat and level, and water it thoroughly at one time. In winter, we should pay attention to heat preservation, moisture conservation, to cover grain grass, leaves, horse dung and other things, or covered with plastic film.

4. When potting, you can first spread a layer of coarse sand or pebbles 5cm thick at the bottom of the flowerpot, which will help to drain the water. The basin soil is a mixture of yellow sand and cake fertilizer, or a culture soil in which rotten barnyard manure, garden soil, coarse sand and 1:1:1 are mixed. After filling the soil, compact it with your hands.

5, peony can not have stagnant water, do not plant in low-lying stagnant water, in time after the rain to remove stagnant water in the basin. Although the peony is resistant to drought, it is appropriate to keep the soil moist and watering depends on the season.

6. After the peony is planted, it begins to sprout in the next spring. After the seedlings are exposed to the surface, they will produce leaflets, some of which may have only one leaf, but others can produce two or three leaves. When the peony enters the growing period, we should pay attention to the removal of weeds and the occurrence of diseases and insect pests. But sowing with seeds usually takes 5-6 years to blossom.

Ramet Propagation of Peony seedlings

The main results are as follows: 1. The whole tree of the luxuriant tree is dug up and separated from the texture junction of the root system. The number of molecular plants of each plant depends on the size of the original plant.

2. Generally, every 3-4 branches is a sub-plant, and has a more complete root system. Then smear the wound on the root with a little sulfur powder and mud, wipe it evenly, and then plant it separately.

3. The time of ramet propagation is during the period from the Autumn Equinox to Frosts Descent every year, and it is better to do it at the right time. At this time, the air temperature and ground temperature are high, peony is in a semi-dormant state, but there is still a long period of vegetative growth time, ramet cultivation has no serious effect on root growth, and some new roots and a small number of plant buds can be produced after ramet planting.

4. If the ramet is planted too late, the root growth in that year is very weak, or there is no new root. In the next spring, the plant development is weaker, and if the root is weak, it is not resistant to drought and easy to die. If the ramet is too early, the air temperature and ground temperature are high, and it can grow rapidly, which is easy to cause autumn hair.

Cultivation History of Peony Flower

Peony has been known as the king of flowers since ancient times, known as "national color Tianxiang", known as "rich flowers". Peony has a long history of cultivation in China for more than 1500 years. The Tang Dynasty was already a precious flower in the imperial palace, and the Peony Garden was specially opened up in Lishan. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the peonies in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, Bozhou, Caozhou, Jiangnan and Lanzhou all shone brilliantly, pushing the peonies into the "king of flowers". Now, China, the United States, Japan, the Netherlands and other countries, through cross breeding, have cultivated new commercial potted peony varieties.

Matters needing attention in planting peony flowers

1. Peony is a kind of environment that likes warm, dry and sunny environment very much, but as a national flower, peony is also very resistant to cold and drought, but the strong direct sunlight is very bad.

2. Peony can not accumulate too much water in the soil during its growth. for it, a loose, deep and fertile soil is the best environment for its growth.

Peony flowers can be planted in a variety of ways, such as transplanting, splitting, grafting, or direct sowing. The follow-up nursing work of each mode of reproduction and planting will be different, so planting peony requires full patience and sense of responsibility, so that more perfect peony plants can be cultivated.
