How to water peony

Habit and watering

We all know that this flower is not tolerant to waterlogging, so we cannot give it too much water. Moreover, this flower is a bulbous flower, so we cannot give it too much water. Also, friends who use greenhouse cultivation should pay attention to the fact that the air humidity in the greenhouse is very high. If there is too much water, diseases and pests are more likely to occur. However, if the air and soil are too dry, their root hairs will die directly. However, when the plant is too dry, you should not suddenly give it too much water, as this will make the situation worse and may even cause the leaves to discolor.

How to use water at different times

Before planting

Before planting, the root tubers should not be exposed to too much water, as this will cause them to rot directly. Only low temperature conditions can allow them to absorb water in the healthiest way. Bury them in clean coarse sand and put enough water in the pot. If there is too much water, it will leak out from the ground. In addition, the substrate below should be sprayed with water frequently to keep it moist.

After planting

At this time, in order to prevent the tubers from rotting, the water used should be low-temperature well water or tap water, and a little fungicide can also be added. If you plant this flower outdoors, you must pay attention to the weather forecast in a timely manner, and be sure to pay attention to rain protection and drainage when there is heavy rain. The peony with buds that have already grown can be watered less, and there is no need to spray it after it blooms.

In summer, they will go into dormancy. At this time, you don't need to water them unless you see the soil in the pot is particularly dry. However, during the growing period, severe water shortage will definitely affect flowering. Not only may the flowering period be shortened, but the number of flowers will also decrease, and even the leaves will become increasingly yellow. If there is a lack of water in the later stage, the flower may be forced to enter dormancy and stop growing.
