Successful experience of potted peony

Successful experience of potted peony

I love peonies, because it symbolizes more than auspicious and auspicious, beautiful flowers, not afraid of cold. Outdoor maintenance in winter, can withstand minus 15 ℃, I have studied potted peonies for more than a decade, there are failures and successes, now summed up for friends' reference.

First, choose the right time for cultivation.

Peony cultivation time is best before and after the Autumn Equinox, that is, around September 20 of the Gregorian calendar, early and easy to sprout in autumn, affecting flowering in the coming year, too late is not easy to root, death. I planted it on September 18, and the survival rate was 100%. Half of the peonies planted in the pot on October 20 survived, and the surviving peonies will not blossom in the coming year. Years of practice has proved this point.

Second, we should choose a good basin of soil.

Peony likes neutral loess and does not like acid humus soil. Weihai hilly loess is suitable for peony cultivation. In the first few years, the gentleman's orchid I sold in a florist either died or did not blossom, and almost all died a year later. I use the loess potted peony in the field, and the survival rate is 100%.

Third, watering scientifically

Peony is afraid of waterlogging, improper watering, resulting in rotten root death, peony potted should be watered thoroughly, until November 20 to early December to apply fertilizer, depending on the weather conditions to water once, no longer need to water, the coming year Rain Water again after the festival. After the Qingming Festival, peony buds are watered once a week, before flowering, and do not water during flowering. I bought peonies six years ago and could not keep them alive year after year, mainly due to improper watering, rotten roots and death, that is, waterlogging. Comrade Wang Xiaowen, a good friend of Kaze, gave me all famous and high-quality varieties. After I was raised to death, I felt a lot of pain in my heart, and I was determined to work out the secret of survival. After repeated experiments and comparison, scientific watering is the key.

Fourth, fertilize scientifically.

Practice has proved that peony is afraid of three fertilizers, one is chemical fertilizer, the second is nutrient solution, and the third is excessive fertilizer. A few years ago, in order to make the peony grow well, I burned all the flowers with chemical fertilizer and nutrient solution, which may be caused by excessive fertilization. from then on, I no longer apply chemical fertilizer and nutrient solution. I choose boiled soybeans, peanuts, rotten dog dung and so on. In terms of fertilization time, I seize the opportunity to apply it once before the Snow Festival, once before the jellyfish Festival, and once after May 20. Usually there are fish heads, fish and sea cucumbers buried in the basin, and the peonies grow well and bloom more and more. This year, some of my potted peonies have opened 7 to 9, and the diameter of the flowers can reach more than 15 centimeters.
