How to divide the peony

Time to start the operation

This kind of flower basically blooms after the autumnal equinox, but before the frost. The temperature during this period is relatively suitable, both the air temperature and the temperature in the soil are relatively high. At this time, they are in a semi-dormant state. They still have a long time to grow, and the impact on their roots is not serious, so it should be done during this period. If you vomit too early, it will easily cause autumn hair growth, which is very difficult to manage, so you have to choose this time.

Steps of division

Be sure to use a mother plant with relatively good growth conditions. The reason is simple. If this generation is infected with the disease, the next generation will be diseased from the beginning, which will be detrimental to the future development of the plant. Try to preserve some root buds on the mother plant. Such plants will be easier to survive and easier to maintain after planting. The roots must not be "thinned out". The more you retain, the better the growth will be. After preparation, disinfect it first, and then plant the new plants directly into the pot to avoid damage to the plants.

Maintenance after division

The newly divided plants should be watered immediately to avoid them dying due to poor integration with the soil in the early stages. Be sure to protect it well in the first year, otherwise it will not survive the winter. You can directly wrap it with old newspapers. Before wrapping, you should tie up the branches and cut off the leaves, so as to protect the buds. Wait until around March of the following year to open it. At this time, the temperature will gradually rise and the plant will not be frozen.

Okay, now you have read the detailed method of division. Flower lovers who have the conditions can try it.
