How to plant peony flowers

1. Division method: Division actually refers to the division of peony seedlings into mother and child plants. At the autumnal equinox, the mother plant can be dug out. When digging out the mother plant, it must be dried in the sun before its roots can be split. When splitting, each plant must have roots and buds so that it can grow again.

2. Grafting method: The grafted plants should be dried in the sun before being inserted into the soil and covered with a new layer of soil. Grafting is usually done in autumn because autumn is conducive to promoting the root growth of grafted plants.

Points to note when planting peony flowers

1. Light: Peony has a high demand for light and the temperature must be appropriate. Too high a temperature will cause it to stop growing and enter a dormant period, so we must pay attention to the temperature at which it grows when planting peonies.

2. Watering: Watering is to keep the soil moist. If there is water accumulation after rain, it should be drained in time, otherwise excessive moisture will affect its growth.
