Cultivation techniques of Paeonia lactiflora

The planting time of Paeonia lactiflora is from late September to early October, and the planting site should be the place of leeward to the sun, deep soil layer and high dry terrain. Before planting, the soil should be turned deeply (more than 30 cm deep), and fully mature organic fertilizer, bone powder and a small amount of insecticides should be applied, and a thin layer of soil should be covered to avoid root rot caused by direct contact with fertilizer.

Don't be too small when planting, otherwise you won't be able to blossom the next year. The planting depth should be 3 cm-4 cm above the covered bud. If it is too shallow, it is easy to suffer frost injury, and if it is too deep, it is not easy to germinate. Water once after planting. Shallow and medium ploughing was carried out the next evening to make the soil well ventilated. The soil on the planting hole is about 20 cm-25 cm thick after winter in the cold area, in order to survive the winter safely.

After the soil is thawed in the spring of the following year, the cultivated soil will be removed in time. When the new buds germinated, they were fertilized and watered immediately, and the weeds were ploughed and weeded. When the new bud grows to about 10 centimeters, it is necessary to peel off the buds and remove the dense and weak buds. Leave too many buds and the flowers bloom small. After that, with the growth of the bud, the leaves spread and begin to show buds. In early April, when the buds are the size of cherries, the lateral buds should be removed in time to concentrate nutrients for the development and growth of the main buds, so that the flowers are fat and full, and the flowers are big and colorful. A pillar should be set up for varieties with thin stalks to prevent lodging.
