Last Updated: 2024/11/25, To sow peonies, choose a slightly larger container with good drainage, and then collect its seeds in early August and soak in warm water to break dormancy. After that, sow the seeds into the soil mixed with organic fertilizer and cover it with a plastic film.

1. Select a container

It may grow taller, reaching about two meters. Therefore, we have to choose a larger container, but it does not need to be very large in the first place, because treatments such as changing pots may be carried out during maintenance. In addition, we should pay attention to the drainage of the basin, do not use flowerpots with poor drainage.

2. Collection and treatment of seeds.

The time for seed collection is usually in early August. After collecting, store it in a cool place indoors, not in the sun, otherwise the seeds will not germinate easily. Before sowing, in order to break its dormancy, it needs to be soaked in warm water of about 50 degrees.

3. The choice of time

The time interval between collection and sowing should not be too long. Sowing immediately after collection and processing must be carried out before October at the latest.

4. Sowing seeds

First of all, disinfect the prepared soil and mix in some base fertilizer, so that the survival rate of the seeds will be higher. After the soil has been treated, put it in a container and sow the seeds.

5. Management in the later stage

First of all, in order to prevent excessive evaporation of soil moisture, but also to block the excessive sunlight, we can cover some plastic film. In addition, not too much watering, or the soil will be hardened. If the sowing time is relatively late, that is to say, the temperature is very low, we have to take appropriate cold protection measures, such as covering some straw, leaves and so on.
