When is the best time to transplant ground-planted peony?

When transplanting ground peony, you need to prepare a clay pot with a diameter of 15-20 cm. There should be drainage holes at the bottom to prevent the peony roots from rotting in the potting soil. You also need to use garden soil, leaf mold, and coarse sand mixed in a ratio of 3:3:1 as the substrate to enable the ground peony to grow better after transplanting.

Transplanting time of ground-planted peony

Generally speaking, the time for transplanting ground peonies is from the end of August to late September every year, neither too early nor too late. This temperature condition and growth condition can greatly improve the survival rate of ground peonies after transplanting, and the injured fleshy roots can also gradually heal after transplanting, which is conducive to the growth of ground peonies in the second year.

Transplanting method of ground-planted peony

The method of transplanting ground-planted peonies is relatively simple. Dig the transplanted peonies out of the ground, taking the soil with you when digging to keep the root system intact and avoid water loss. Just water them thoroughly once after transplanting.

Management after transplanting ground-planted peony

1. After transplanting ground-planted peonies, they do not require a lot of watering. If the weather outdoors is relatively humid, you can rely on precipitation to replenish water. When the weather is relatively dry, increase watering appropriately. If there is water accumulation in the soil, drain it in time.

2. Do not apply fertilizer immediately after transplanting the ground-planted peony. Normally, fertilizer should be applied three times a year, and it is mainly applied in spring when new shoots emerge.
