When is the best time for peony pruning to change pots and soil?

Those who are familiar with the peony all know that the peony is very afraid of heat. In the hot summer, the peony will enter a dormant state, so for the flower friends who like the peony, they will be pruned after Xiehua in spring, and those who are a little ruthless will be beheaded and trimmed. Then put the peony in a cool, astigmatic and ventilated place to maintain and spend the summer.

After the hot summer and autumn tiger weather, enter the cool autumn, when the temperature is about 20 degrees, peonies will slowly emerge new buds, at this time we should pay attention to control the growth of new buds, avoid new buds growing too fast and excessive consumption of nutrients, then next year the number of flowers is small or the quality of flowering is poor, so the maintenance of autumn and winter is very critical.

As asked by netizens, when will the peony be trimmed to change the soil? Autumn and spring are good choices, that is to say, it is most suitable to prune and change soil at the end of autumn and at the beginning of spring every year. At the end of autumn, the new buds that emerge in autumn are trimmed, and the basin soil is hardened seriously, and then change the basin and change the soil. Then safe winter maintenance, normal maintenance after the beginning of spring and natural waiting for flowering on the line.

And the beginning of spring is also a good choice. After the beginning of spring every year, peony seedlings are dug out, then the dead roots are trimmed, most of the withered branches are trimmed, and then they are maintained in the basin. With the germination of new branches of peony, it is not difficult to burst the pot. However, I always think that peonies adapt to the maintenance area is relatively narrow, the temperature is too high to maintain the place does not blossom at all, comparatively speaking, peony is better to maintain some.

What we need to pay attention to in autumn is to prevent peony branches from growing too fast, because the autumn temperature is very suitable for peony growth, peony will quickly pull out a lot of new branches, usually start to branch in September, and will pull out very long branches after October, but peony does not blossom in autumn, which is a waste of nutrition at this time, so we do not recommend that peony grow in autumn.

So after autumn, with the growth of peonies, we should properly replenish nutrition, and then properly top and control prosperity, trim the branches as far as possible, just leave a few leaves to ensure normal photosynthesis to store nutrients, and ensure a small number of branches. don't sprout more new buds.

After the beginning of winter, just replenish the base fertilizer in time and let it pass the winter safely. after thawing water in spring, a large number of new buds and branches will emerge directly, the nutrition is enough, the buds are strong, and the flower buds are full of differentiation, so the peony blossoms are bigger than the bowls. the color is bright and elegant.

Conclusion: autumn is the best time for us to introduce peonies. Autumn peonies are relatively hot. After peony pots and soil changes in autumn, it is almost October. With the gradual decrease of temperature, the root activity decreases slowly. After a smooth winter, there is no need to cover and toss directly in spring. As long as you supplement nutrition, you can blossom and enjoy flowers normally. Of course, you can also change pots and soil after the beginning of spring. However, it is best to operate before the root activity is strong, that is, when there are new buds sprouting in spring, it is too early to turn cold in spring, and it is too late to blossom.
