When is the best time to transplant peony?

Before transplanting peonies, you should choose sandy soil that is loose and breathable, has strong drainage ability, and is rich in organic matter. Be careful not to use saline-alkali soil or overly sticky soil. Also, when transplanting peonies, you should avoid damaging the roots. After transplanting, you need to carefully maintain it for a period of time.

Peony transplanting time

The survival rate of peonies is higher when they are transplanted in autumn, because the injured parts heal faster, which is conducive to continued growth in the next year. If they are transplanted in spring, which happens to be the flowering and growing season for peonies, the roots have not yet fully healed, so they cannot provide too much nutrients, which will affect the normal flowering of the year.

Peony transplanting method

When transplanting peony flowers, you need to take them out of the soil, cut off the old roots and residual roots, and then place them in a ventilated place to dry the surface moisture. Then you can plant them in the new soil. After planting, you need to do a good job of heat preservation, moisture retention, ventilation and other management work.

Management of Peony after Transplanting

After transplanting, peony should be watered sufficiently, and the maintenance environment should have sufficient sunlight. One thing that needs to be noted is that although peony likes to grow in a warm and humid environment, it is also afraid of waterlogging, so it needs to be watered sufficiently, but not excessively. It should be watered according to the principle of watering when the soil is dry and when the soil is wet.
