Third, temperature and light

Potted peony in the hot summer sun irradiation easy to cause leaf scorch, so summer should pay attention to shade. Sufficient light is needed during the growth period of peony plants. when the light is too strong, it can appropriately increase the humidity of the environment to reduce the effect of excessive light on the growth of peony. However, high-density shading can not be carried out, and the shaded environment for a long time will weaken the growth of peony and affect the flowering period.

Paeonia lactiflora is resistant to drought and does not need to be watered frequently. However, the largest water demand before and after flowering, when the spring weather is relatively dry, you can appropriately increase the number of watering.

Usually topdressing three times a year, the first time in spring, when the new shoots are drawn out quickly, and the other two times when the leaves and buds are stretching, mainly applying fast-acting fertilizer, also known as flower-promoting fertilizer. Pay attention to the amount of fertilizer should not be too much, too much will also cause root burning.

5. Shaping and pruning

1. Pruning time: about half a month after germination in spring every year, a proper pruning should be carried out. In the bud stage from mid-March to early May, removing the buds and some residual flowers of flowering peony can reduce the consumption of nutrients. At the end of autumn, the third pruning should be carried out to cut off weak branches, diseased branches, dead branches and residual leaves, clear the garden in time and burn it centrally, so as to reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

In winter, there is no need to move peony indoors, you can put it on the balcony or sunny place under the eaves to avoid wind and snow, basin soil should not be too dry.

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