Maintenance of rock peony in spring

Rock peonies should be placed in places with plenty of light in spring. After the increase of temperature, the growth of rock peony began to resume, and the amount of water needed to be gradually increased. When the outdoor temperature is stable above 15 ℃, it can be placed outside the balcony for maintenance, and it is also a suitable time to change the basin. The dry wetlands should be watered during the peak growing season of rock peonies, and the soil should not be too wet. It is appropriate to water the basin soil after drying. When the temperature is high at the end of spring, appropriate shade is needed at noon.

After the temperature is cool at the end of summer, the dry wetlands will be watered again.

Autumn maintenance of rock peony

Rock peonies should be placed in a place with plenty of light in autumn and watered after the soil is dry. As the temperature begins to drop, the amount of water can be reduced slowly, in order to keep the basin soil dry and not dry. It should be moved into a closed balcony with light before frosting.

Maintenance of rock peony in winter

The flowerpot can choose the plastic flowerpot, the plastic flowerpot is beneficial to the root growth of rock peony, and will provide a relatively warm growth environment for the root of rock peony.

2. Watering and fertilization

Watering needs to be carried out according to climatic conditions and plant growth conditions. Basically, during the growth period of rock peony, it is necessary to keep the soil moist and free of stagnant water, and the winter dormant period needs to keep the soil dry. Fertilization can be combined with watering, fertilization can apply some thin fertilizer and water, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.
