The latest planting skills of Paeonia lactiflora

Paeonia lactiflora is a perennial herb of paeoniaceae. Paeonia lactiflora is distributed all over China. It is a very beautiful ornamental plant and belongs to one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Peony can also be made into porridge, cake and tea and other foods, and there are analgesic menstruation, diuretic anti-dizzy effect. Peony planting in our country has a certain area, so Xiaobian today brought you peony planting skills, let's take a look together!

1. Soil selection

Each crop has different requirements for soil. Peony has strong growth ability and little requirement for soil. But if you want peony to grow healthily and look good, then we should choose sufficient fertility, soft and transparent growth before planting. This soil is beneficial to the nutrient absorption and respiration of peony roots and can promote the growth of peony roots. And we should pay attention to the size of the planting hole, too small is not conducive to the growth of peony plants, too large consumes too much manpower, usually about 28-30 cm in diameter.

2. Control the light

Light is the key to ensure the healthy growth of paeonia lactiflora. The growth of paeonia lactiflora has a greater demand for light. If there is insufficient light during the growth process, peony growth is hindered, branches and leaves are withered and weak, and there is no light, so we must ensure sufficient light when planting peony. However, the light should not be too strong, to prevent direct sunlight for too long. During flowering period, proper temperature reduction and humidity can be used to prevent sunlight from burning peony leaves, reduce the ornamental value of commodities and affect planting benefits.

3. Water management

When peony sprouts or is planted successfully, water management should be done well and watering regularly. The moisture at this stage is to ensure the growth of seedlings and improve the survival rate. If the moisture is insufficient, the roots of peony are short of water and the rooting and germination are hindered. After survival, the watering frequency can be appropriately reduced, and about 2-3 days can be watered once. And absolutely not more watering, too much water after survival will also affect the growth of peony, reduce the flowering rate of peony, shorten the flowering period, resulting in reduced ornamental value, planting benefits will also decline.

4. Disease and pest control

Peony disease resistance is strong, so the incidence of disease is low, but the threat received by pests is relatively large. Pests will nibble peony flowers, and will also suck the nutrients of peony roots, resulting in thin and withered plants, malnutrition, so we must do a good job of pest control. Insecticides can be used appropriately. There are many different insecticides on the market. When selecting insecticides, we should ensure that they can effectively kill insects without affecting the growth of peony and reducing the flowering rate of peony. Do not water after spraying pesticides to prevent water from washing away the potion and reducing the efficacy, thus failing to effectively kill pests. Try to water after the pests die.

Common pests of peony are scarabs and scale insects, etc., and although the incidence of peony is low, but poor management will still appear some diseases. For example, gray mold, brown spot disease, etc., these diseases will seriously hinder the growth of peony, and reduce the ornamental value. Therefore, we must do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, check what diseases and insect pests are, and then use corresponding medicaments for treatment. Do not blindly use drugs, otherwise it may cause phytotoxicity.
