What kind of soil should be used to plant peony flowers?

First, the quality of cultivated soil

If it is planted in the open air, plant it in an area with sunshine and no stagnant water. With common cultivated soil, it is also possible to use PH medium or slightly alkaline soil. It is suitable for more breathable fertile soil, the soil should be deep enough to be able to drain water.

2. Potted soil

If it is planted in a basin, it should be covered with pebbles at the bottom of the basin, which should be 3 to 5 centimeters thick to facilitate its discharge of excess water. The soil in the basin had better use loess to mix some cake fertilizer, or mix animal manure with ordinary garden soil and rough sand.

Matters needing attention

Before planting, be careful to let its roots stretch out and not let it curl. After planting, press the soil tightly with your hands, so that the roots can be in close contact with the soil, so that it can survive more easily.

III. Fertilization in soil

1. After putting on the basin, water it thoroughly and put it in a cool place to let it recover slowly. During normal management, you can put it in a warm and sunny place to ensure that there is enough sunshine.

2. A newly potted flower should not be fattened immediately, especially with a high concentration of fertilizer, otherwise its fleshy roots will become moldy.

3. The newly planted flowers can slowly add some animal manure or other thin fertilizer after half a year. Loosen the soil frequently during its growth and give it compound fertilizer every 15 days or so.

4. After planting for a year or two, it can grow flowers every year. It usually grows flowers in April, and you can add liquid fertilizer to it once or twice before growing flowers. Liquid fertilizer can be added once or twice a month after the flower grows, and dry fertilizer can be added to it in hot weather to help its flower buds sprout.
