Hunan Peony Planting Technology

1. Soil

Peonies have high requirements for soil. It is best to use loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil. Do not use heavy clay soil to plant them, otherwise the roots will not be able to breathe, affecting the growth of the plant.

2. Light temperature

Peony is a light-loving plant. It needs sufficient light during its growing period, but it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. The ambient temperature can be controlled at around 17-20℃. The plant has good cold resistance and can withstand temperatures as low as -30℃.

3. Watering

Peonies need sufficient water to grow. After planting in spring, they need to be watered once every week to keep the soil slightly moist. On rainy days, the accumulated water must be drained in time. The specific amount can be determined according to the dryness and wetness of the soil.
