How to fertilize indoor peonies

The peony flower is gorgeous and is known as the "king of flowers", and is loved by many flower lovers.

Peony is also very suitable for growing in potted plants at home. The growth of peony requires careful fertilization. Correct fertilization can make the peony potted plants grow well, bloom more, and have high ornamental value. Let me share with you briefly below.

First, base fertilizer preparation

When growing peonies indoors, base fertilizer is very important. Since the soil in potted plants is relatively small, sufficient nutrients are needed to provide nutrients to the peonies.

When preparing the soil, you can add some base fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer and manure, which can be mixed into the soil , or you can add base fertilizer to the bottom of the pot when potting, both of which can play a role in long-term nutrition supply.

Second, fertilize before flowering

Peonies are usually fertilized once in October to promote flowering. Flower-promoting fertilizers play a great role in the growth of peonies.

You can also use fertilizers to promote the healthy growth of peonies. The fertilizers used should mainly be decomposed cake fertilizers, and increase the application of phosphorus fertilizers. Phosphorus fertilizers can promote more and larger peonies to bloom .

Third, fertilize after flowering

Peonies consume a lot of nutrients when they bloom. If you want to enjoy more peonies at this time, you can increase fertilization.

Generally, fertilizer can be applied about half a month after flowering, which can prolong the flowering period, increase the number of flowers, and enhance the color of the flowers. Fertilization is mainly based on decomposed cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer.

Fourth, winter fertilizer

Peonies should be fertilized once in winter. Winter fertilizer can increase the temperature of the soil. Used in conjunction with watering, it is very helpful for peonies to survive the winter. Fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer. Move the peony indoors around the beginning of winter and place it in a sunny place on the balcony.

【 Summarize 】

When fertilizing indoor peonies, add base fertilizer when potting, fertilize once before flowering, fertilize once after flowering, and fertilize once during the winter. Fertilize at least three times a year to promote the growth of peonies, bloom more flowers, and make the flowers large and colorful.
