The peony blossoms big and many fertilizing secrets are not collected quickly.

12, peony blossom big and many fertilization tips, do not hurry to collect!

This is the 12th article of the original "Peony Culture" column written by the Blue Devil.

Yesterday we talked about the watering management of peonies. If we want peonies to grow well and bloom brightly, watering alone must not be enough. Fertilization is the first condition to ensure flowering and flowering.

So how on earth should peonies be fertilized?

There is a flower proverb about peony fertilization. I don't know if you have heard of it. "clear peony, turbid peony".

Many people do not have a thorough understanding of "Qing", so they think that peonies do not need to be fertilized, but only irrigated with clean water, which is of course incorrect.

Winter manure is the most important fertilizer for cultured peony. Peony is planted on the ground, and solid fermented organic fertilizer is applied to cultivate soil at the same time. Potted peonies should be fully fertilized when they are planted.

After blooming in spring, the peony is rarely topdressing liquid fertilizer, and the topdressing should be buried with solid fertilizer, so it is said that "Qing peony".

However, it is not said that peony can not use liquid fertilizer, if it is potted, due to the limited fertility of potted soil, extra-root topdressing can be carried out before and after flowering. Even if we use ternary compound fertilizer and dilute the foliar surface with water, we should pay attention to control the concentration so as to avoid fertilizer damage.

Organic fertilizer can be applied again in October every year to promote the formation of flower buds.

Fermented organic fertilizer can be selected, fermented pig manure, sheep manure, chicken manure, compost, etc. at the same time, some bone meal and fish meal can be added to increase the content of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

Taboos on fertilization of peony

As the peony is fleshy root, it is very sensitive to fertilizer and water, so we must pay attention to avoid committing three taboos when fertilizing.

1. Avoid applying thick fertilizer

Peony is sensitive to fertilizer, whether it is extra-root topdressing, or topdressing organic fertilizer, should pay attention to the amount, so as not to cause fertilizer damage, organic fertilizer must be fully fermented.

2. Avoid using manure and water

Clear peony, indicating that peony is more clean, so do not use liquid fertilizer to irrigate roots, especially some dung water, it is very easy to cause peony root rot.

3. Avoid fertilizing in summer

Peony is in the stagnant stage of growth in summer, and it is high temperature in summer, so fertilizer should be stopped, otherwise it is easy to cause fertilizer damage.

The time of topdressing of peony can be divided into three stages.

Pre-flowering fertilizer, that is, early October, is mainly to promote the differentiation of flower buds.

Winter fertilizer, in late autumn and early winter, this fertilization combined with soil cultivation is mainly to enhance the cold resistance of peony, maintain soil temperature, and make basic preparations for spring flowering.

Post-anthesis fertilizer, that is, within half a month after flowering, the main purpose of this topdressing is to repair the loss of peony flowering and promote flower bud differentiation, which has a great impact on the number of flowering in the second year.
