Planting skills of Paeonia lactiflora

Paeonia lactiflora, also known as parting grass, is a perennial herb of Paeoniaceae. Paeonia lactiflora is distributed all over China. It is a very beautiful ornamental plant and belongs to one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Peony can also be made into porridge, cakes and tea and other foods, and also has analgesic dysmenorrhea, diuresis and anti-halo effect. The planting of peony has a certain area in our country, so the editor brings you the planting skills of peony today, let's take a look at it!

1. Soil selection

Each crop has different needs for soil. Paeonia lactiflora has strong growth ability and little demand for soil. However, if we want peony to grow healthily and have a good appearance, we still have to choose the growth that is fertile, soft and transparent before planting. This kind of soil is beneficial to the nutrient absorption and respiration of peony root, and can promote the growth of peony. And we should pay attention to the size of the planting hole, too small is not conducive to the growth of peony plants, too large consumption of too much manpower, usually about 28-30 cm in diameter.

2. Control lighting

Light is the key to ensure the robust growth of peony, and the growth of peony has a great demand for light. If there is not enough light in the growth process, the growth of peony is blocked, and the branches and leaves are weak and dim, so we should ensure that there is sufficient light when planting peony. However, the light should not be too strong. It is necessary to prevent the sun from shining directly for too long. In the flowering period, it can properly reduce the temperature and dampness, prevent the sun from burning the leaves of Paeony, reduce the commodity ornamental value, and affect the planting efficiency.

3. Water management

When peony emerges or is planted successfully, it is necessary to do a good job in water management and watering regularly. The water at this stage is to ensure the growth of seedlings and improve the survival rate. If there is not enough water, the roots of Paeonia lactiflora are short of water, and root sprouting is blocked. After survival, you can appropriately reduce the watering frequency, watering once every 2-3 days. And absolutely not too much watering, too much water after survival will also affect the growth of peony, reduce the flowering rate of peony, shorten the flowering period, resulting in the reduction of ornamental value, planting efficiency will also be reduced.

4. Disease and pest control

Paeonia lactiflora has strong disease resistance, so the incidence of disease is low, but the threat of insect pests is relatively large. Pests will gnaw on peony flowers, and will also absorb the nutrients of peony roots, resulting in plant thinness and dryness, malnutrition, so we must do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and pests. Insecticides can be used appropriately, and there are many different insecticides on the market. When we choose pesticides, we should ensure that they can kill insects effectively without affecting the growth of peony and reducing the flowering rate of peony. Do not water after spraying insecticides to prevent the water from flushing away the potion and reduce its efficacy, so that it can not kill insects effectively. Try to water the pests after they die.

The common pests of Paeonia lactiflora are beetles and shell insects, and although the incidence of peony is low, some diseases will occur if it is poorly managed. For example, Botrytis cinerea, brown spot and so on, these diseases will seriously hinder the growth of peony and reduce the ornamental value. Therefore, we must do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, check what the specific diseases and insect pests are, and then use the corresponding drugs for treatment, not blindly, otherwise it may also cause drug damage.
