How to cultivate peony to grow well?

1. Soil: peony is a fleshy root, loose, fertile and slightly acidic sandy soil should be selected when planting, and it is not suitable to grow in alkaline soil. If the soil is too alkaline, it will cause leaf yellowing, even atrophy and death.

2. Watering: Paeonia lactiflora generally does not need to be watered frequently except natural precipitation. It is usually only properly watered several times before and after flowering and in case of spring drought, in order to supplement the shortage of soil moisture, and the amount of water should not be excessive each time.

3. Light: the peony can grow luxuriantly and brightly in the growing period, but it can also grow normally in the light shade. It can appropriately reduce the temperature and increase the humidity during the flowering period, so as to avoid the burns of strong sunlight, so as to prolong the viewing period.

4. Temperature: Paeonia lactiflora is a typical temperate plant, which likes temperature and cold tolerance. It can survive summer safely when the maximum temperature reaches 42.1℃ in summer, and it can still grow and blossom normally when the lowest temperature is-46.5℃ in winter.

5. Fertilization: the fertilization of peony should be controlled, three times a year, the first time it is drawn out rapidly in the new shoot, and the rapid fertilizer is mainly applied when the leaves and buds are stretching, which is called flower-promoting fertilizer.

6. Plastic surgery: peony plastic surgery includes fixing stem, pruning, removing buds, thinning buds, cutting off residual flowers, etc., which can be fixed after planting for 2 to 3 years, especially strong ones can be trimmed into solitary stems, weak branches can be cut off and strong branches can be retained.

7. Diseases and insect pests: the prevention and control of peony diseases and insect pests should be based on early prevention. Once diseases and insect pests occur, according to the above-mentioned dosage according to the occurrence degree, the spraying interval should be shortened appropriately and the times of drug use should be increased.

8. Florescence: remove the excess buds in time after the lateral buds appear before flowering, which can concentrate nutrients and promote the beauty of the top buds. After the flower fade, if you do not intend to collect seeds, cut off the pedicel directly to avoid seed consumption.
