How to make the peony bloom every year

1. Choice of flower soil and flower pot

When choosing soil, we prefer loose and fertile alkaline soil. Here we can mix it with leaf mold, garden soil, river sand, etc. After preparation, let it be exposed to the sun for a few days to fully sterilize it. When choosing a flower vase, a transparent purple clay pot or ceramic pot is best, but the flower vase should not be too large.

2. Control of light temperature

It is extremely fond of semi-shady environment. When growing it indoors, it is best to place it on an east-facing balcony, so that it can receive sufficient sunlight in the morning and avoid the scorching sun at noon. It likes a low temperature environment. When controlling the temperature, 15 to 20 degrees is best, and it needs to be kept above 10 degrees in winter. This will help it bloom next year.

3. Supply of water and fertilizer

It likes moisture, especially before the flowers bloom. It is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient water and no water shortage, otherwise it will be difficult for it to bloom when it is a small plant. When watering, be careful not to cause water accumulation in the pot, otherwise it will cause root rot. It likes fertilizer very much. Every spring, it will be in its best growth period. At this time, stems will appear on its plant. Then we should fertilize it more frequently, once a week is best, and apply foliar fertilizer at the same time.

4. Post-flowering treatment

Many people become careless after it blooms, but they don’t realize that it needs to be handled in a timely manner and cared for so that it can bloom more flowers next year. Usually, it will enter a dormant period after flowering. At this time, we need to cut off the remaining flowers on its branches, then water it sufficiently and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once, so that the underground roots can get more nutrients and lay the foundation for more flowers in the next year.

5. Daily maintenance

First of all, after planting it, you need to water it enough so that the roots and soil are fully connected, which helps the plant better absorb water and nutrients. Then when you repot it every year, keep 1 to 2 branch buds on the roots, transplant them separately and place them in a cool place for a week, then you can move it to a place with sufficient light.
