How can potted peonies break if they don't blossom in the second year? I'll teach you a trick.

23. If the potted peony does not blossom in the second year, how can it be broken? I'll teach you a trick!

This is an excerpt from the original column "Peony Culture" written by the Blue Devil.

Many flower lovers who have just begun to grow peonies will encounter such a problem: peony flowers planted in autumn bloom very big in spring, but they do not bloom in the next spring!

Why is that? Today, the blue demon will come to analyze the reason for you.

If you want to know why the peony does not blossom, let's first understand under what circumstances the peony can blossom.

Conditions for the flowering of peonies

1. Adequate fertilizer and water

If you want the peony to blossom, the first condition is that the fertilizer and water should be sufficient, and if the peony grows healthily, the condition of flowering can be reached naturally. Natural plants blossom and bear fruit in order to breed the next generation, so the plant itself must be strong and mature enough to do so.

2. After vernalization at low temperature

The flowering of peony needs to undergo vernalization at a low temperature below 10 degrees in 2-3 months. Without the process of vernalization at low temperature, buds cannot be conceived and flowers cannot bloom naturally.

OK, now that we know the necessary conditions for peony flowering, let's take a look at why our peony can blossom in the first year and not in the second year.

The reason why the peony did not bloom in the second year

In the final analysis, the reason why the peony did not bloom in the second year was that we did not manage it well and did not do a good job in the rejuvenation of the peony.

1. Lack of fertilizer and water

Our flower friends are often eager to see flowers, even the peony in the first year will let it blossom, and flowering requires a lot of nutrients, if after flowering, and then let it bear seeds, there is no doubt that the consumption of peony is huge.

If you don't fertilize in time after blooming, then.

Well, in retrospect, did you gain weight after your peony blossom? Summer is the flower bud differentiation period of peony, nutrition has a vital impact on peony flowering in the coming year, but we do not apply fertilizer in time, which will naturally affect the flowering in the coming year.

2. Improper watering

Maybe you will say, I'm fat, but I still don't blossom! So, have you managed your moisture?

Do you follow the principle of dryness and dryness? If the peony is watered too much, it is easy to damage the root system, make the plant grow weaker, and the plant is not strong enough, so it will only grow leaf buds but not flower buds.

3. Invasion of diseases and insect pests

Well, even if you have done well in both of the above, have you ever done any pest prevention? Does your peony lose its leaves early, or have dark spots and scorched leaves?

Diseases and insect pests can also cause peony plants to become weak and unable to form flower buds. For an introduction to peony diseases and insect pests, please refer to the article a few days ago. )

4. Without vernalization

You may say, my peony management is very good, the above three points are no problem, peony grows luxuriantly, but does not blossom.

So you need to think back to how your peony survived the winter? If you are in the south where the winter temperature lasts above 10 degrees, it is not your fault.

If the temperature in your area reaches the condition of peony vernalization in winter, and you put the peony pot in a warm room to spend the winter, it is your fault.

Personal advice, put the peony at about 0 degrees in winter, the environment with sufficient light can, do not put warm air rooms and air-conditioning rooms, vernalization will definitely not blossom oh.

5. The potting time is too short.

Of course, in addition to the management problem, it may also be the problem of Miao itself. If the seedling is relatively small, it cannot blossom even if it is not strong enough. Of course, it usually doesn't blossom in the first year.

If the pot time is too short, the plant growth does not recover will also cause the phenomenon of non-flowering.

To sum up, if you want peony flowers to blossom year after year, the management must be in place, fertilizing and pruning in time, selecting strong seedlings as far as possible when buying seedlings, and giving up the idea of buying seedlings, the management itself is not very in place. If you buy seedlings with poor resistance, you really don't know when to raise them to blossom.

In addition to the problem of not blooming in the second year, peonies sometimes bloom like you don't know, with few petals and thin petals. What's the reason? Please stay tuned for tomorrow's update.
