How to fertilize white peony

Time and method of fertilizing white peony

Fertilizer selection

Phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer, but too much nitrogen fertilizer will cause the plant to grow too tall and the edges of the leaves will not turn red.

Growth period

During the growing season, fertilizer only needs to be applied once every 20 days or so, but it must be applied after the soil is completely dry. The fertilizer should be as thin as possible so as not to disrupt the time and frequency of watering and to maintain the watering regularity of the soil.

Dormant period

When the temperature rises to 35 degrees in summer, the white peony will enter a dormant state. At this time, in addition to suspending watering, you should also suspend fertilizing; when the temperature drops to 3 degrees in winter, the white peony will also enter a dormant state. At this time, if the soil is too moist, it will cause root rot, so watering and fertilizing should not be carried out. In winter, you can apply fertilizer according to the actual situation of the plants, and generally reduce the amount of fertilizer; in summer, you only need to apply fertilizer once every two months.

Tips

In fact, white peony is not very dependent on nutrients. A small amount of fertilizer combined with daily maintenance can make the white peony grow very well. Therefore, when applying fertilizer as a whole, the fertilizer concentration must be light, and the amount of nitrogen fertilizer must be controlled at the same time to prevent the plant from growing too tall. If you are a novice, you can buy special fertilizers and apply fertilizers according to the instructions on the fertilizers. Do not apply fertilizers based on your own judgment.
