Don't you know the reason for the rotten root of peony?

We may not have heard much about this plant, but you must have seen the huge flowers of Paeonia lactiflora at some point. This plant is relatively easy to maintain, but there are also some minor problems, such as rotten roots. A lot of friends are stuck here. So what should we do about the rotten roots of peony?

1. Too much water

A big problem of plant conservation when watering, peony this kind of plant watering needs a lot of attention, we usually need to observe whether the basin soil is completely dry, some friends say that the basin soil surface can be seen with the naked eye, but what about the inside? Of course, there is also a way. it is very simple. We insert the toothpick into the basin soil and pull it out. If there is a lot of soil on the toothpick, it means there is enough water in the basin. If there is no soil, it means it is relatively dry. It needs to be watered in time. After each watering, we have to put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, so that we can let the excess water in the basin dry as soon as possible, reducing the chance of soaking roots.

2. Diseases and insect pests

If we do not pay attention to peony for a long time, there may be diseases and insect pests. At first, the leaves may be a little yellow, but after a long time, it is very difficult for peony to blossom, and the overall growth is not very good, so we have to control diseases and insect pests. First of all, we can boil water with chili peppers or garlic water when watering, because chili peppers and garlic have a strong pungent smell. And garlic also has a germicidal effect, so it can prevent the invasion of insect pests. If insect pests have been found, we can irrigate them with carbendazim and go straight to the roots to remove pests.

3. Fertilization

Even if we fertilize peony, we can't use thick fertilizer, because if the fertilizer is too thick, it will burn roots. we can only use water to dilute the fertilizer first and then irrigate it. if some friends think that the fertility will not be weakened, we can achieve the effect by applying fertilizer many times. Of course, when we plant this fertilizer, we can put some rotten leaves, and the peel of the melon we eat is in the basin so that we can have sufficient nutrients when the plant is first planted, so that we don't have to apply fertilizer at the beginning. Fertilizer is being applied during the growing period.

The root rot of peony is mainly due to the fact that we did not get the way of maintenance before, and it will be much better after improvement.
