Don't make a mistake, or the peony won't grow.

15. Peony flowers sparse buds, don't make a mistake, otherwise the peony will not grow up!

This is the 15th column of the original "Peony Culture" written by the Blue Devil.

Due to the peony flowers, the flowering is very large, and a lot of nutrients are needed. If you want the peony flowers to bloom well, thinning buds is an indispensable work.

The growth characteristics of peony flowers are special, so the method of thinning buds is also different from other flowers.

The method of thinning buds of peony flowers

Peony flower bud thinning time

Peony bud thinning time should not be early, should be chosen as far as possible after the flower bud color, that is, the so-called peach period.

What is the Peach season?

When the peony bud is small, it is pointed. As it grows up slowly, the top of the bud will be flat and round, such as the peach edge. This period is called the peach period.

Why did you choose to soothe the buds in the pingtao period?

The growth of peony is mainly regulated by auxin and some other hormones at the top of new branches. if the buds are cut off prematurely, the growth of peony will be inhibited.

Choose to sparse buds in the pingtao period, so that the peony can grow for a long time.

The operation method of soothing lei

Many people only know that peonies want to sparse buds, but they don't know how to do so, so they simply cut off the whole bud rudely. In fact, this is a mistake.

The correct bud thinning of the peony should be the 2ther 3 of the cut bud, the remaining part of the bud and receptacle of the third, or at least the receptacle, and not even the leaves.

After the buds are cut off 2 / 3 / 3, they will slowly wither.

Note:

For the peony seedlings that have been transplanted for more than 4 years in the first year, due to the great damage to the roots and the high nutrient consumption of the branches, all the flower buds should be removed in the first spring after transplanting to promote the rejuvenation of the plants.

The peony seedlings of 2-3 years can retain only one flower with strong branches in the first spring after transplantation. if potted, it is recommended not to blossom in the first year.

In addition to wiping buds and thinning buds in spring, peonies also need to do a simple pruning after flowering, and a larger pruning after winter. Specific pruning methods, please continue to pay attention to the blue demon's update tomorrow.
