Peony hanging orchid likes loose humus soil, choose the mixture of rotten leaf soil, garden soil and river sand, or directly use peat soil with perlite, its root system is fleshy, so drainage must be guaranteed.

2. Lighting

Peony orchids are more sunny plants, want to bloom more, but also to give sufficient light, at least more than 6 hours of light every day, the most suitable for growing in the south or west windowsill, winter can be seen through the windowsill. Except for proper shade at noon in midsummer, adequate light should be given at other times of the year, especially in winter. While ensuring the temperature, it can be placed in the sunrise place to receive sunlight as much as possible. If it is placed in a place where there is not enough light for a long time, the color of the leaves is easy to be light, lack of vitality, and even the leaves fall, losing their ornamental value. Conditional friends can be placed outside the house from the beginning of spring. After sufficient irradiation, the plants have many flowers and bright colors, and the leaves are not easy to grow.

3. Temperature

Peony Cymbidium likes a warm and comfortable living environment, avoiding high temperature and cold, and the optimum growth temperature is 15-25 degrees Celsius. In summer, when the temperature is too high, you should pay attention to cooling the plants and move them into a well-ventilated semi-shady ground for maintenance; they are not cold-resistant, and you need to pay attention to heat preservation after entering autumn, and you should pay attention to heat preservation after the weather turns cool, and those placed outdoors should be moved indoors to avoid cold in time to avoid frostbite.

4. Watering

Peony orchids like the dry environment, watering should not be too much, according to the specific growth of peony orchids to change the management of water and fertilizer, of course, appropriate watering should be reduced in winter. After cooling in autumn, we began to reduce the watering frequency and keep the soil slightly dry. If your peony orchid leaves are particularly luxuriant, but there are no flowers, it is necessary to properly control the water, let the pot soil dry for a while, in order to give birth to buds. Especially in the summer high temperature season, while increasing the amount of water, we should also pay attention to the basin can not accumulate water, should follow the principle of dry and wet, and so on the basin soil dry and then pour water through, too much water is easy to cause rotten roots, serious death; after September, peony orchid entered the slow growth period, at this time to gradually reduce the amount of water, in preparation for moving indoors for the winter.

5. Fertilization

Peony hanging orchid likes thin fertilizer, thin fertilizer can make the plant more robust, combined with proper pinching, can make it grow luxuriantly, more conducive to the gestation of buds. Peony orchid does not have high requirements for fertilizer and water, so it is OK to apply cake fertilizer and water every half a month or so in the growing season, which can be changed according to the specific growth conditions of peony orchid. Generally more fertilizer is applied in spring and autumn, but not in winter. Thin fertilizer can be given twice a month in spring and autumn. Ordinary compound fertilizer or rotten cake fertilizer is OK. If you want to blossom more easily, you can water potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a month to promote the gestation of more buds.

6. Pruning

In winter, the leaves of Paeonia suffruticosa stopped growing and treated during the dormancy period. Disease and insect branches, overlapping branches, concurrent branches, thin and weak branches, aging branches, inward growing branches and growing branches must be cut off in time, so as to prolong the life of peony through thinning, truncation and tillering. Let the peony ventilated and transparent, not easy to breed diseases and insect pests, can ensure that the tree potential does not decline, thick branches and luxuriant leaves.

7. Change the basin

Potted peony orchids are usually changed once in 1-2 years, and the withered and old roots can be cut off properly when changing pots. After getting into the pot, they can be maintained in the shade for two weeks and see the light slowly.

8. Insect pests

The peony orchid grows extensively and is not prone to diseases and insect pests, but if the basin soil is stagnant and poorly ventilated, it may not only lead to root rot, but also root rot, so attention should be paid to spraying control.

Proper pruning can be carried out to cut off some branches that are too long or too dense to conserve nutrients so that they can blossom more in the coming year.
