How to change the pots of peony

When to change the basin

If the flower is not very big, it can be changed once a year. If the flower is relatively large, only half of the soil can be changed every year, so that it will not be greatly affected and the risk of death can be avoided.

Second, the choice of flowerpots

It is best to use a relatively deep tile basin to change the basin, according to its size to choose a suitable basin, in general, the basin should have 30cm to 40cm depth, the diameter of 25cm to 30cm is the best. In addition, we can put the hard plastic foam at the bottom of the basin to make the soil more breathable.

III. Preparation of soil

Because its roots are fleshy and relatively developed, it is easy to die if there is too much water, and if it is not nutritious enough, it will grow thinner and thinner, so you should choose well drained and cut thicker soil. it can be prepared with ordinary garden soil plus rotten leaves or sandy soil.

IV. Plant treatment

To wash its roots and soak them in a sterilized liquid for half an hour, it is best to add some rooting powder to the sterilized liquid, because its roots are longer and can be soaked in a container that allows it to stretch out. Take it out and dry it, then trim its roots, get rid of all the rotten roots and old roots, leave the new roots and thinner roots, and cut the roots shorter according to the size of the new basin.

5. Moderate watering

After changing the new pot, put it in a cool windy area, the branches and leaves also need to be properly pruned, and the diseased branches and thin branches need to be cut off, leaving 4-6 branches on each flower. After changing the basin, water it thoroughly, usually when the soil on the surface is a little white, do not sprinkle too much water.

VI. Rational fertilization

After replacing it with a new basin, you should add fertilizer to it to help it recover better. In daily maintenance, it is necessary to add animal manure or cake fertilizer once a month from the beginning of May, and sprinkle it with ferrous sulfate once or twice when it rains.
