Peony flowers bloom delicate and beautiful, rich colors, and large and beautiful flowers, but also set color, fragrance, rhyme as one, so as a family pot cultivation, ornamental value is very high. Today, the editor will share with you the planting methods (techniques) of potted peony flowers.

I. Reproduction

Peony flowers mostly propagate seedlings by ramet, but they are not suitable for transplanting in spring like many other flowers and plants. Peony flower seedlings are generally transplanted when the aboveground part of the plant is wilted in October in autumn, and the transplanted seedlings need to have tubers and bud eyes, otherwise it is not easy to grow branches and leaves and bloom after potting.

Second, soil distribution

Paeonia lactiflora likes to grow in a fertile, loose and slightly acidic soil environment, and the soil can be prepared according to the proportion of garden soil, rotten leaf soil or year, river sand or perlite. In order to improve the fertility of the soil, a small amount of rotten cake fertilizer and superphosphate were added to the basin.

Third, select the basin

The base of the peony flower has a larger rhizome or tuber, and it likes fertilizer, and the flower is large, so the peony flower used for pot cultivation is suitable to choose a deep, wide-mouth large flowerpot, so that more matrix can be installed in the pot, which is more conducive to the growth of the plant.

3. Transplanting

After making the drainage layer in the flowerpot and loading part of the basin soil, plant the peony flower seedlings with tubers and bud eyes into the pot, then cover the soil with a thickness of 3-4 cm, and bury a small amount of base fertilizer to keep the pot soil at a suitable humidity. then put the flowerpot in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the seedlings.

IV. Maintenance

After the plant takes the pot smoothly and grows steadily, we can resume the normal maintenance and management work. During the original growth period, sufficient light needs to be provided, and if there is not enough light, it may blossom; at ordinary times, it is only necessary to keep the basin soil moist, so as to increase watering before and after flowering and in the dry season; fertilizer can be applied three times a year in budding, budding and growing peony buds, respectively.

5. Plastic surgery

In order to make potted peony flowers have higher ornamental value, reasonable shaping is very important, the main means are fixed stem, pruning, picking buds, thinning buds, removing residual flowers and so on. For varieties that are too strong, they can be cut into a single-pole plant type; for varieties with weak growth, the old and weak twigs are generally cut off and strong branches are retained.

VI. Change the basin

The growth of potted peony flowers needs a lot of nutrients, because the usual fertilization and plants have been in the basin for a long time, it is easy to produce hardening phenomenon, thus affecting the irrigation and infiltration of water and fertilizer, so it is generally necessary to change the pot in time after 1-2 years of potting, mostly in October in autumn. When changing pots, more old soil should be retained, which is more conducive to the return of plants to normal growth.
